Todd: Oh, that's great. So what about your apartment? Do you have a nice apartment?

托德：哦，那很不錯(cuò)。你的公寓怎么樣?你的公寓漂亮嗎?

Meg: It's a nice apartment, but it's really small.

梅格：我的公寓很好，不過(guò)非常小。

Todd: Oh yeah? How many rooms?

托德：是嗎?有幾個(gè)房間?

Meg: Well, there are three rooms. But each room is pretty small. There's a bedroom, a sitting room like a living room, and the kitchen room.

梅格：有三個(gè)房間。不過(guò)每個(gè)房間都很小。有一間臥室、一個(gè)起居室，還有廚房。

Todd: Oh, wow. So in your bedroom, like, do you have a big queen size bed, a small bed?

托德：哇哦。你臥室里的床是大床還是小床?

Meg: I have a small twin size bed or a single bed in the bedroom because it's pretty small. So there's not much space for a big bed.

梅格：我臥室里有一張小的單人床，因?yàn)榕P室很小。沒(méi)有足夠的空間放大床。

Todd: All right. So do you have a TV in your bedroom?

托德：好。那你臥室里有電視嗎?

Meg: No. Actually, I don't own a TV at all.

梅格：沒(méi)有。我家里沒(méi)有電視。

Todd: Really? So there's no TV in the living room, too.

托德：真的嗎?所以起居室里也沒(méi)有電視。

Meg: There's no TV anywhere in the apartment.

梅格：公寓里沒(méi)有電視。

Todd: Wow. What do you do in your house?

托德：哇哦。那你在家里時(shí)做什么?

Meg: I have a laptop computer. So usually, I can watch some TV shows or videos on my laptop.

梅格：我有一臺(tái)筆記本電腦。通常我用筆記本電腦看電視節(jié)目和視頻。

Todd: All right. Okay. Do you like to watch movies in bed?

托德：好。你喜歡躺在床上看電影嗎?

Meg: Yeah. Sometimes I like to watch movies in bed or sometimes I prefer to sit in the living room and watch movies.

梅格：對(duì)。有時(shí)我喜歡躺在床上看電影，有時(shí)我喜歡坐在起居室里看電影。

托德：好。你家的網(wǎng)速一定很快。

Todd: Okay. Cool. Do you have a nice big sofa?

托德：好，真酷。你有大沙發(fā)嗎?

Meg: I have two small sofas. So you can push them together to make one big sofa or you can keep them separate. Usually, I keep them separate because there's more room for people to sit on.

梅格：我有兩個(gè)小沙發(fā)?？梢园褍蓚€(gè)沙發(fā)拼在一起，做成一個(gè)大沙發(fā)，也可以分開(kāi)用。通常，我不會(huì)把兩個(gè)沙發(fā)拼在一起，因?yàn)檫@樣有更多的空間，方便人們坐在上面。

Todd: Okay. Now, you like to cook. So you must have a nice kitchen.

托德：好。你喜歡烹飪。你一定有個(gè)很棒的廚房。

Meg: Unfortunately, I have a very tiny kitchen.

梅格：不幸的是，我的廚房非常小。

Todd: Oh no. How do you cook?

托德：哦不。那你怎么做飯?

Meg: I have to use some extra tables to have more space. The counter is really small, so there's not much space. So I have an extra table I use for preparing the food.

梅格：我要用其他的桌子來(lái)增加空間。廚房的操作臺(tái)太小了，沒(méi)有太多空間。所以我在準(zhǔn)備食物時(shí)要用其他的桌子。

Todd: Okay. Do you have an oven?

托德：好。你有烤箱嗎?

Meg: I have a very small toaster oven. So it's not really an oven.

Todd: Okay. Do you cook every night?

托德：好。你每天晚上都做飯嗎?

Meg: I don't cook every night. Sometimes, I'm too busy. And sometimes because my kitchen is so small, I get a little frustrated. So I just pick up some food from a restaurant.

梅格：我不是每晚都做飯。我特別忙的時(shí)候就不做。而且因?yàn)閺N房太小了，所以有時(shí)我會(huì)沮喪，那時(shí)我也不做飯。我會(huì)從餐廳買飯回家。
