B：Thank you. Yeah, it's home, but a number of things have been going wrong lately. 謝謝，是啊，這是一個(gè)家。但是最近有很多地方出了問(wèn)題。
A：That's too bad. What problems are you having? 那可太糟了，出什么問(wèn)題了？
B：Oh, the whole house needs re-painting, for starters. The carpet in the living room is worn out, and I'd like to put in new wall-to-wall carpeting. Last week, I had to call the plumber to fix the toilet. Anyway, all par for the course when you own a house, I guess. I think I'm going to hire an interior decorator to look the place over. 哦，剛剛住進(jìn)來(lái)，正間房子都需要從新粉刷，臥室里的地毯也已經(jīng)很舊了，我想裝一套新的。上星期，我不得不打電話(huà)找水管工來(lái)修理廁所。不管怎么說(shuō)，如果你有一間房子，我覺(jué)得這都是最尋常不過(guò)的事。我看我要請一個(gè)室內工程師來(lái)看看這個(gè)地方。
A：I've studied Western home decoration as a hobby. Could I make some suggestions? 我曾學(xué)過(guò)室內裝飾。我能給你提一些建議嗎？
B：Go right ahead. 太棒了，請講。
A：Well, I think a crystal chandelier would look great in your living room, and maybe some new drapes for the windows. Also, a grandfather clock would look great in the den. Perhaps you could buy some potted plants for the dining room. 啊，我覺(jué)得在臥室里裝一盞水晶燈會(huì )很漂亮。另外呢，可能需要一些落地窗來(lái)裝飾窗戶(hù)。還有,休息室里放一盞落地燈會(huì )很漂亮的。你還可以買(mǎi)一些盆栽裝飾飯廳。
B：Wow! You really do have a talent for this, Ethabella. Thanks for your suggestions. 哇噻！你在這方面，可真是天才啊，Ethabella，謝謝你的建議。
A：You are welcome, Jack. Glad to be of help. 不客氣，Jack。很高興能幫上你。
