聊一聊你理想的家是什么樣的

今天的這段對(duì)話，在討論理想之家，

聊一聊你理想的家是什么樣的

來(lái)聽今天的講解:

A: Yeah. So Curtis, what would your dream house be like? Tell me about the kitchen, living room, yard.

好?？碌偎?，你的理想之家是什么樣的？和我說(shuō)說(shuō)你理想中的廚房、客廳和花園。

B: Well, I've thought a lot about my dream house and designing it. Actually, that's the kind of work that my father does, so he said he could draw the plans up for me. But I've done a lot of art and I really want to work my art into the house. So the living room, I would like there to be kind of a frieze around the outside of the room where I actually do the art myself. Now, I used to do a lot of construction when I was younger, and so I would really like to take part in the process so that I have a kind of sense of ownership with the house that I've really built a part of that. The kitchen, I want it to be a very large space and next to a room that has a lot of media so that you can kind of pay attention to things or watch tutorials and recipes while you're cooking, follow along with your favorite chefs or cooking channels. I'd like a really big industrial refrigerator and a huge island that I can work with, as well as a massive sink for cleaning things. I used to work at a restaurant and I loved the dishwasher there because it was so quick and easy. So I would like a restaurant-style dishwasher in my kitchen, too.

就理想之家來(lái)說(shuō)，我想了很多，也進(jìn)行了設(shè)計(jì)。實(shí)際上，那是我父親的工作，他說(shuō)過他可以為我畫設(shè)計(jì)圖。不過我也學(xué)過很多與藝術(shù)相關(guān)的東西，我想自己設(shè)計(jì)我的房子。就客廳來(lái)說(shuō)，我希望房外墻有壁畫，我通常自己制作這些壁畫。我以前做建筑工作，我年輕的時(shí)候很喜歡建房子，這讓我感覺我是這個(gè)家的主人，房子一部分是我建的。我希望廚房空間很大，廚房旁邊的房間最好有很多媒體設(shè)備，這樣在做飯的時(shí)候，就能參考教程或是食譜，按照你喜歡的主廚或是美食頻道教的那樣做。我想要一個(gè)大的工業(yè)冰箱，一個(gè)大的工作臺(tái)，以及清潔用的洗滌糟。我在餐廳工作過，我喜歡餐廳的洗碗機(jī)，因?yàn)榭梢院芸炀桶淹胂赐?，而且很好操作。我也想在我的廚房里裝一個(gè)餐廳用的洗碗機(jī)。

A: Yeah. So tell me about – what would your yard be like?

好。那花園呢？

B: I would like a lot of grass. I really love a yard with nice grass especially when you're playing soccer, you can get under the ball and have a lot of fun like that.

我希望有塊大草坪。我非常喜歡帶草坪的花園，可以在草坪上踢足球、玩躲避球，享受快樂時(shí)光。

A: It's nice to have a big backyard to play sports.

有個(gè)能進(jìn)行體育活動(dòng)的大后院不錯(cuò)。

B: Yeah. I think so as well.

對(duì)。我也是這么想的。

A: What about your bathroom?

那浴室呢？

B: My bathroom. Well, I would like to have a kind of a spa in there, honestly. I would like to have a big bathtub. But I want my house to have geothermal heating. And if I have a geothermal heating system, I can also probably have a hot spring in the bathroom. I like it to be quite big and have a nice shower as well. Just very nice open area with nice sinks. I don't want to feel constrained in my bathroom. I don't want it to be small. It has to be big.

浴室。說(shuō)實(shí)話，我想在浴室裝一個(gè)水療設(shè)施。我也想浴室里有個(gè)大浴缸。我希望我的房子用地?zé)峁┡?。如果我有地?zé)峁┡到y(tǒng)，我還可以在浴室里泡溫泉。我還希望浴室面積大一些，有不錯(cuò)的淋浴器。浴室要有開孔面積，配備優(yōu)質(zhì)的水槽。我不希望浴室給人壓抑的感覺。浴室也不能太小，面積一定要大。

A: What about your living room?

那客廳呢？

B: My living room. One of the things that was really important to me for my living room again, is the art that I want to have a lot of details around the outside that are murals or friezes that I have actually created on the wall and so that there's almost a kind of entertaining sense about it. Just being in there before you turn on any other devices or televisions or anything like that. That there is kind of a artistic and comfortable feel to it. It doesn't feel sterile, it feels very homey.

客廳。我認(rèn)為，對(duì)客廳來(lái)說(shuō)其中一件重要的事是，我希望外墻有很多藝術(shù)作品，比如我制作的壁畫，這會(huì)使人愉快。在打開其他設(shè)備或是電視以前，看看那些藝術(shù)品。那種藝術(shù)性會(huì)讓人感覺舒適。不會(huì)給人刻板的感覺，而是會(huì)讓人感受到溫馨。

A: Cool. Would you have a big garage?

真酷。你想要個(gè)大車庫(kù)嗎？

B: I probably would have a big garage because I really love driving, and I used to race cars at the track. And for the purposes of doing work on cars, or any other DIY work around the house, I would like to have a really big nice garage.

我可能需要個(gè)大車庫(kù)，因?yàn)槲蚁矚g開車，我以前在賽道上賽過車。為了改裝汽車，或是自己設(shè)計(jì)房子，我想有個(gè)非常大的車庫(kù)。

A: Would you have any sort of like swimming pool or – I know you said you wanted a sauna in your bathroom but...

你想要游泳池嗎？你說(shuō)過你想在浴室里建個(gè)桑拿房。

B: I would really like a portion that's maybe separate from the bathroom, that has shutters that open up. So on a nice night, you can actually open it and see out over the yard or whatever landscapes that the house is built next to.

我希望浴室有一部分區(qū)域和浴室隔開，安裝百葉窗。在一個(gè)美好的夜晚，你可以打開百葉窗，俯視花園或是房子周圍的景色。

A: That would be cool.

那一定很酷。

B: But I would like the area to be a little bit private, hopefully surrounded by woods a little bit where you can't see your neighbors immediately.

不過我希望那個(gè)區(qū)域能隱私一些，希望周圍有樹木之類的可以遮住，這樣就不會(huì)直接看到鄰居了。

A: Yeah, exactly.

對(duì)，沒錯(cuò)。
