今天的這段對(duì)話,在討論室友,
與生活邋遢的人合租是什么感受
來(lái)聽(tīng)今天的講解:
A: Hey, Jeff this is a very nice apartment.
嗨,杰夫,這個(gè)公寓真不錯(cuò)。
B: Hmm. It's comfortable. It's cozy. Japanese style.
嗯。舒服又溫馨。這是日式公寓。
A: I like it. It's got the tatami mat, small kitchen. Do you live alone?
我喜歡這間公寓。有榻榻米,還有間小廚房。你是一個(gè)人住嗎?
B: I live alone but right now I have a friend of mine staying with me.
我是一個(gè)人住,不過(guò)現(xiàn)在有個(gè)朋友和我住在一起。
A: Oh, really, a roommate.
哦,室友。
B: Sort of like a roommate, yes. A short term, he's staying with me short-term, so yes a roommate.
有點(diǎn)兒像室友。他只是暫時(shí)和我住在一起,對(duì),是室友。
A: OK, how's that going?
好,感覺(jué)怎么樣?
B: Ah, I don't like it.
我不喜歡。
A: Why?
為什么?
B: He's lazy. He's messy. He drinks too much. He doesn't exercise and he doesn't contribute any money to the rent.
他又懶又邋遢還酗酒。他不鍛煉,也不幫我分擔(dān)房租。
A: Ooh, so he lives here and he doesn't give you any money?
哦,那他住在這里可是沒(méi)有付你房租嗎?
B: Well, yeah, he doesn't give me any money. The money's not so bad, though, it's just that he's lazy and he doesn't do much all day.
對(duì),他并沒(méi)有付我錢(qián)。其實(shí)房租還不是最糟糕的,主要是他太懶了,一整天都不怎么動(dòng)。
A: That's got to be pretty annoying.
那真是很煩人。
B: He's a great fellow. He's a good friend of mine, but, yeah, he's, I try to motivate him to do a few things but he's a tough one.
他人不錯(cuò),是我的好朋友,我試圖激勵(lì)他去做一些事情,不過(guò)很難。
A: Are you going to tell him he has to move out?
你會(huì)告訴他讓他搬出去嗎?
B: Ah, no, he's a smart man. He knows. He knows. He knows the deal. He knows what's going on and I think he's, yeah, I would never ask him to move out because I don't mind having him here but I'm just going to try to whip him into shape.
不會(huì),他是個(gè)聰明人。他知道,他知道情況,這些他都知道,所以我想我不會(huì)讓他搬出去,因?yàn)槲也⒉唤橐馑≡谶@里,不過(guò)我會(huì)努力幫他塑造形象。
A: Oh, so you're just going to try to change him so he becomes a better roommate?
所以你要試圖去改變他,使他成為更好的室友?
B: I'm going to be like a woman and try to, yeah, try to get him a better schedule, a better schedule (yeah) like exercise and eating right and less smoking and less drinking.
我會(huì)去做女性做的事情,幫他制定一份更好的時(shí)間表,讓他去鍛煉、合理飲食、少吸煙、少喝酒。
A: Well, what is his schedule?
那他現(xiàn)在的生活是什么樣的?
B: Ah, his schedule is, he's like a night owl, he stays up most of the night drinking, and then he sleeps most of the day recovering, and then when he gets up he has a hangover. He's a bit sluggish and slow, so it's not a healthy lifestyle.
他的日常安排,他是個(gè)夜貓子,他晚上經(jīng)常熬夜,大部分時(shí)間都在喝酒,他白天睡覺(jué)來(lái)恢復(fù)精神,起床的時(shí)候會(huì)有宿醉的感覺(jué)。他行動(dòng)有些緩慢,這是不健康的生活方式。
A: Yeah, it doesn't sound like it. Good luck.
對(duì),聽(tīng)上去并不健康。祝你好運(yùn)。
B: No problem.
謝謝。
