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。那可能也會很貴，要訂做好的窗簾不可能便宜。
2--你是說我們不能買成品窗簾？
1--絕對不行。必須先量好這些窗戶，再特地制作窗簾，這可能會花上一段時問，也許要一個月左右。
2--做窗簾期間，我可以開始請人來勘查廚房。我受不了那個老舊的廚房，我沒法在里面烹煮東西，我不想用那個電爐。
1--我們需要找一家室內(nèi)裝潢公司來整修廚房。我相信在波特蘭會有一些專門整修廚房的店，我會翻一下黃頁。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，做飯時你要覺得舒服才好。
1--我？做飯？哈，親愛的，你才要煮，你煮啦。
2--不，我不認(rèn)為。我會在新的茶室忙著品茶。
1--好吧，我想我們請個廚子好了。那你明年就買不起任何衣服了。
2--而且你必須賣掉你的摩托車，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。
