Talking about Apartment

Jason:What do you think of this flat?

Alice:

It’s not really all that good. The bedroom is a little small for us.

Jason:Small but it should be enough for our needs, I think.

Alice:

But there’s no hot water after 10 at night. Sometimes I like to have a hot shower before bed, especially in the winter. It feels good.

Jason:

That’s true. But I love the living room; it’s huge and filled with sunshine.

Alice:True, and I like the kitchen. It’s new and well equipped.

Jason:It has a great balcony with an incredible view of the park.

Alice:

You’re right. The view is spectacular. But that bedroom is so small. We’d never be able to fit all of our stuff in there.

Jason:

Maybe we could get some new furniture. Better stuff.

Alice:I haven’t thought of that.

谈论公寓

杰森:你觉得这个公寓怎么样?

爱丽丝:并不那么好。对我们来说卧室有点小了。

杰森:是小,不过我想已经足够我们两个人用了。

爱丽丝:

但是晚上十点钟以后就没有热水了。有时候我想睡觉前洗个热水澡,尤其是在冬天,感觉很好。

杰森:

那倒是,但是我喜欢客厅,比较大,而且阳光充足。

爱丽丝:

是的,我还喜欢厨房,都是新的,设备也齐全。

杰森:

还有一个很棒的阳台,可以看到公园的美景。

爱丽丝:

是的,风景很优美。但是卧室那么小,放不下我们的东西。

杰森:或许我们应该买些新家具,更好的东西。

详细解说

“

What do you think of…”这个句型可以用来询问别人对某事物的看法。

“have/take a hot shower ”表示“冲个热水澡”。例如: Mary loves

having a hot shower after she’s been swimming. (玛丽喜欢游泳后冲个热水澡。)“洗冷水澡”则为“have/take a cold shower”,例如:It was such a hot night that I had a cold shower to refresh myself.(那个晚上好热,我冲了个冷水澡提提神。)

“be filled with sunshine”表示“阳光普照,充满阳光”。“be filled with

sth.”表示“被…填满,充满着…”,例如:The room is filled with the sound of children's laughter.(房间里充满了孩子们的欢声笑语。)

“be well equipped”表示“设备安装得很齐全、很完备”。另外,“be

equipped with sth.”表示“安装/配备有某种设备”。例如:The rooms are equipped with video cameras.(这些房间都安装了摄像头。)

FUN 轻松:贴士

不应“依赖老师”

很多中国学生在学英语的时候,看似付出了“极大努力”:他们听课非常认真,笔记也做了厚厚的几大本,老师指定的习题都能按时完成。但几年下来,英语水平却没有明显的提高。这是为什么呢?我们知道,英语作为一门语言技能,和其他科目的学习存在着差别,除笔头练习外,更应注重个人的口、耳训练。而这类同学在学习时缺乏主动性,过于依赖老师。他们对于知识只是被动地接受,而不是主动地思考,更别提对所学内容的巩固强化和融会贯通了。英语学习的主体是学生自身,而不是老师,老师只是起了一个引导和辅助的作用。中国的那句古话“师傅领进门,修行在个人”说的就是这个道理。

FUN 轻松:笑话

Form a Double Line 排成两行

While shopping in a supermarket, I heard over the PA system: “A wallet was found containing a large sum of cash but no identification. Will those laying claim to it please form a double line at the customer service counter?”

我在超级市场里买东西,听见广播通知:“捡到一个钱包,里面有很多现金,但没有身份证明。请要认领的人在顾客服务柜台前排成两行。”
