2--We need to redo the curtains and paint all the walls and ceilings.
 
1--I'm the painter. You can be in charge of going to curtain shops to choose curtains. That will probably be pretty expensive too. Having good curtains made isn't cheap.
 
2--You mean we can't just buy curtains already made?
 
1--Absolutely not. The windows must be measured, and then the curtains need to be made professionally. So that will take awhile. Maybe a month or so.
 
2--While the curtains are being made, I can start having people look at the kitchen. I can't stand that old kitchen. I won't be able to cook there. I don't want to use that electric stove.
 
1--We need to find an interior decorating company to redecorate the kitchen. I believe in Portland there are shops that specialize in kitchen renovation. I will look in the Yellow Pages. I'd like a kitchen mostly in ivory and light green.
 
2--I agree. The colors must be soft and pleasant. You should feel comfortable when you cook our dinners.
 
1--Me? Cook our dinners? Hah! You will be cooking, dear. You will cook.
 
2--No, I don't think so. I'll be too busy having tea in our new tea room.
 
1--Well, I suppose we'll have to hire a cook then. So you won't be able to afford any clothes next year.
 
2--And you'll have to sell your motorcycle. And your cameras. Right?
 
1--Maybe I'll cook once or twice a week. How is that?
 
2--Four times might be enough. Not once or twice.

===================================
譯文：

1--地板弄完，家具放好后我們還要做什么呢？
2--我們需要重做窗簾和油漆所有的墻壁及天花板。
1--我是油漆工，你可以負(fù)責(zé)去窗簾店挑窗簾。那可能也會(huì)很貴，要訂做好的窗簾不可能便宜。
2--你是說(shuō)我們不能買(mǎi)成品窗簾？
1--絕對(duì)不行。必須先量好這些窗戶，再特地制作窗簾，這可能會(huì)花上一段時(shí)問(wèn)，也許要一個(gè)月左右。
2--做窗簾期間，我可以開(kāi)始請(qǐng)人來(lái)勘查廚房。我受不了那個(gè)老舊的廚房，我沒(méi)法在里面烹煮東西，我不想用那個(gè)電爐。
1--我們需要找一家室內(nèi)裝潢公司來(lái)整修廚房。我相信在波特蘭會(huì)有一些專(zhuān)門(mén)整修廚房的店，我會(huì)翻一下黃頁(yè)。我想要一間大部分是象牙色和淺綠色的廚房。
2--我同意。顏色必須柔和愉悅，做飯時(shí)你要覺(jué)得舒服才好。
1--我？做飯？哈，親愛(ài)的，你才要煮，你煮啦。
2--不，我不認(rèn)為。我會(huì)在新的茶室忙著品茶。
1--好吧，我想我們請(qǐng)個(gè)廚子好了。那你明年就買(mǎi)不起任何衣服了。
2--而且你必須賣(mài)掉你的摩托車(chē)，還有你的攝影機(jī)，是不是？
1--也許我一周煮飯一兩次，怎么樣？
2--四次才夠，不只是一兩次。
