谈论家庭装修布局

A：You have a lovely house, Jack.
Jack，你的房子真不错！

B：Thank you. Yeah, it's home, but a number of things have been going wrong lately.
谢谢，是啊，这是一个家。但是最近有很多地方出了问题。

A：That's too bad. What problems are you having?
那可太糟了，出什么问题了？

B：Oh, the whole house needs re-painting, for starters. The carpet in the living room is worn out, and I'd like to put in new wall-to-wall carpeting. Last week, I had to call the plumber to fix the toilet. Anyway, all par for the course when you own a house, I guess. I think I'm going to hire an interior decorator to look the place over.
哦，刚刚住进来，正间房子都需要从新粉刷，卧室里的地毯也已经很旧了，我想装一套新的。上星期，我不得不打电话找水管工来修理厕所。不管怎么说，如果你有一间房子，我觉得这都是最寻常不过的事。我看我要请一个室内工程师来看看这个地方。

A：I've studied Western home decoration as a hobby. Could I make some suggestions?
我曾学过室内装饰。我能给你提一些建议吗？

B：Go right ahead.
太棒了，请讲。

啊，我觉得在卧室里装一盏水晶灯会很漂亮。另外呢，可能需要一些落地窗来装饰窗户。还有,休息室里放一盏落地灯会很漂亮的。你还可以买一些盆栽装饰饭厅。
