Topic: He’s my roommate.
Victor:Nancy今天我們來學一下roommate。
Nancy:He’s my roommate.
Victor:他就是我的室友。
Nancy:Technically this means you share a room, but we also use it for people who share a house or an apartment.
Victor:從廣泛的意義上講就是指你們兩個住在一個房子里面,但是你們也可以講住在一個公寓里面。
Nancy:You should actually say housemate, but every one says roommate.
Victor:當然你可以說housemate,但是最專業(yè)的詞叫roommate。
Nancy: Victor,remember,in Western countries it’s very common for men and women to be roommates, but not boyfriends and girlfriends.
Victor:大家千萬不要把roommates和boyfriends及girlfriends搞混。
Nancy:So, he’s my roommate.
Victor:He’s my roommate.
Nancy:Thanks for coming.
