實戰(zhàn)口語情景對話：Nabeel's Place 納比爾的家

Ginger: So, what about you? You're still in the same place right?

金格：你呢?你還住在原來那個地方嗎?

Nabeel: Yeah, I'm still there.

納比爾：對，我還住在那里。

Ginger: Good. How's it going?

金格：好。你的房子怎么樣?

Nabeel: Oh, it's great. I'm actually quite satisfied with it now.

納比爾：哦，非常好。我非常滿意。

Ginger: Oh, good because I though you wanted to move at one point.

金格：這很好，我曾經(jīng)以為你想搬家呢。

Nabeel: Yeah, I thought about it for awhile but then I decided to stay there. There's a lot of good points there. It's a quiet neighborhood. It's not too far from the train, so I can get to work easily. For awhile I thought it might be a little too expensive, just slightly above my budget, but I've gotten used to it, and my cats love it. They're really comfortable there, so I think I'm going to stay.

納比爾：對，我是有考慮過一段時間，不過后來我決定還是繼續(xù)住在那里。住在那里有很多好處。那是個安靜的社區(qū)。離火車站很近，上班很方便。有一段時間我認為房租太貴了，有點超出我的預(yù)算，不過我已經(jīng)習慣住在那里了，我的貓也喜歡那個房子。它們在那里生活得很舒適，所以我決定繼續(xù)住下去。

Ginger: Oh, great. I love your cats. Do they have a lot of room to roam around?

金格：哦，很好。我喜歡你的貓。你的房子里房間多嗎，足夠讓它們四處玩耍嗎?

Nabeel: They have enough room. Of course, they're better off in the house. I was living there last year but they've adapted pretty well, so there's a roof there. I can take them up and roam around. There's plenty of places for them to hide.

納比爾：有足夠的房間。當然，它們在房子里過得很好。我去年剛搬到那里去，不過它們已經(jīng)非常適應(yīng)了，那座大樓有個天臺。我可以帶它們上去玩。它們有很多可以躲起來的地方。

Ginger: Now, what about your neighbors. Are you still living near Matt and Laura.

金格：你的鄰居呢?你還住在馬特和勞拉附近嗎?

Nabeel: Matt and Laura.

納比爾：對，馬特和勞拉。

Ginger: Right, right.

金格：好，很好。

Nabeel: Actually, it's really funny. They'd been there for about four months, and last weekend they invited some people over, about five or six of their colleagues. They had a little party. They played poker, had lots of booze around, but unfortunately, the neighbors complained to the landlord, and the landlords were just really angry.

納比爾：其實這很有意思。他們大約在那里生活了四個月，上周末他們邀請了一些朋友去他們家，他們邀請了五六個同事。辦了個小型派對。他們在派對上玩撲克牌，還喝了很多酒，不幸的是，鄰居向房主投訴他們，房主非常生氣。

Ginger: Oh, no.

金格：不是吧。

Nabeel: And sent them this really harsh e-mail and said they wanted them out by the end of the week, so yeah, Matt and Laura have been kicked out of the building.

納比爾：房主給他們發(fā)了一封措辭嚴厲的電郵，讓他們在這周末之前搬走，所以馬特和勞拉被趕出了那座大樓。

Ginger: You are kidding.

金格：你開玩笑的吧。

Nabeel: No.

納比爾：沒有。

Ginger: Wow, and just five people over.

金格：哇哦，只有五個人過去玩就弄成這樣。

Nabeel: Yeah, it was like five or six people and apparently it was loud enough. I think it is because the neighborhood is kind of family-oriented, so people aren't used to people having parties.

納比爾：對，只有五六個人，顯然那已經(jīng)非常吵了。我認為是因為那個社區(qū)基本都是以家庭為重的人，所以人們不習慣有人開派對。

Ginger: Mm, right. Maybe the voices carry a lot.

金格：嗯，也許是聲音太大了。

Nabeel: Yeah, there's a lot of echo in the building actually for some reason.

納比爾：對，不知道是什么原因，大樓里回聲非常大。

Ginger: Well, that's too bad for them. Where did they move?

金格：那對他們來說太糟糕了。那他們搬去哪里了?

Nabeel: They just moved down the street to another apartment building. It's smaller so I don't think they're happy about it. Oh, well.

納比爾：他們搬到那條街上另一棟公寓大樓去了。他們搬到那條街上另一棟公寓大樓去了。那里要小一些，所以我認為他們并不開心。嗯。

Ginger: Well, tell them I said 'Hey' when you see them.

金格：你看到他們時轉(zhuǎn)告他們我的問候。

Nabeel: I will.

納比爾：我會的
