Meg: Hey, Todd, where do you live?

梅格：嘿，託德，你住在哪裏？

Todd: I live on the east side of downtown

託德：我住在市中心東部。

Meg: Oh. Do you like it there?

梅格：哦，你喜歡那裏嗎？

Todd: I do. I live in an older house. But it's a big house, and it's really relaxing. It's a nice place to live.

託德：我很喜歡。我住在一個老房子裏。不過那座房子很大，讓人感覺很舒服。那是個適合居住的地方。

Meg: Wow. Sounds nice. How many rooms does it have?

梅格：哇哦。聽上去真不錯。你家有多少個房間？

Todd: My house is pretty big. It's four rooms. It has a big sleeping room. It's a Japanese house. So it's not really a bedroom because you sleep on the floor.

託德：我的房子非常大。有4個房間。有一間非常大的休息室。那是座日式房屋。所以準確來說不是臥室，因爲要睡在地板上。

Meg: Oh.

梅格：哦。

Todd: But it also has a living room. It has, like, an office room and it has a kitchen.

託德：房子裏還有客廳、辦公室和廚房。

Meg: Is it a big kitchen?

梅格：廚房大嗎？

Todd: No, it's a pretty small kitchen and it's a very old kitchen. I have a small stove. So it's very difficult to cook. But, you know, I have a refrigerator. I have a microwave. I have a nice kitchen table to eat at. So it's a pretty decent kitchen.

託德：不大，非常小，而且是一個非常老的廚房。我的爐竈非常小。很難用來做飯。不過廚房裏有冰箱和微波爐。還有一個漂亮的餐桌。可以說，這個廚房相當不錯。

Meg: It sounds okay. What about your living room? What do you have in the living room?

梅格：聽起來不錯。那客廳呢？你的客廳裏有什麼？

Todd: My living room, it's pretty cool for a guy because it's a good place to watch sports. I have a really big TV, and I have cable TV, so I get all the football channels.

託德：對男生來說，我的客廳非常酷，因爲那是一個看體育比賽的好地方。我有一個非常大的電視，而且我安裝了有線電視，所以我能收看所有足球頻道。

Meg: Nice.

梅格：不錯。

Todd: And I have a really big sofa, so I can sit on my sofa and watch sports and drink beer. It's great.

託德：而且我還有一個大沙發，所以我可以坐在沙發上，一邊看體育比賽一邊喝啤酒。非常享受。

Meg: Sounds relaxing.

梅格：聽起來很舒適。

Todd: Very relaxing.

託德：非常舒適。

Meg: Well, do you also have a nice bathroom?

梅格：你有浴室嗎？

Todd: I do. I actually have three bathrooms.

託德：有。實際上我有三個浴室。

Meg: Oh, really?

梅格：真的嗎？

Todd: It's kind of crazy, yes. So in English, we say bathroom, but I have two rooms that are for the toilet and I have one room or the bathroom with the toilet for the guests. And then I have a bathroom that I used. And then also I have a natural hot spring bath outside my house. So if I want to take a shower or bathe, I use that room.

託德：有點瘋狂。雖然在英語中我們說浴室，不過準確來說我有兩個衛生間，一間供客人使用的衛生間。還有一間我自己用的浴室。我房子外面還有一個天然溫泉浴。如果我想洗澡，我就用那個房間。

Meg: Wow. I'd love to have a hot spring at my house.

梅格：哇哦。我也想在房子里弄個溫泉。

Todd: Yeah, it's very nice. It's very, very nice.

託德：嗯，非常不錯。真的很不錯。

Meg: Does your house also have a yard?

梅格：你的房子有院子嗎？

Todd: It kind of has a yard. So outside my house, there's an area for flowers and bushes. And it's like a yard or a garden around the house, but it's not a place you can play sports. There's no grass or anything. So it's a very, very small yard. But, you know, it's a nice place.

託德：算有院子吧。我房子外面有塊空地，用來種花和灌木。那有點兒像是院子或花園，不過不可以進行體育運動。那裏沒有草地。可以說是一個非常小的院子。不過很不錯。

Meg: Oh yeah. It sounds like a nice place to live.

梅格：好。聽起來是個適合居住的好地方。

Todd: It is a nice place to live. I'm very, very lucky.

託德：的確是適合居住的地方。我非常幸運。

Meg: You said you have a sleeping room, not a bedroom. What does that mean?

梅格：你剛纔說你有一個休息室，不是臥室。那是什麼意思？

Todd: Yeah. I live at a Japanese style house. So it's called the tatami room. And you sleep in the tatami room and you sleep on the floor on a futon. So I don't have a bed. So it's not a bedroom. It's a room that you sit in during the day and you can eat and talk with guests. But it's also a room that you sleep in at night. So yeah, I call it my sleeping room. But I think in Japan, they just call it the tatami room.

託德：對。我住在日式房屋裏。所以，那是塌塌米房間。在塌塌米房間睡覺時，是睡在地板上或日式牀墊上。所以我沒有牀。那並不是臥室。白天可以坐在那間房間裏，和客人們一起吃東西，聊天。那也是我晚上睡覺的房間。所以我稱之爲休息室。不過我想，在日本人們稱之爲塌塌米房間。

Meg: Is it comfortable sleeping on the floor?

梅格：睡在地板上舒服嗎？

Todd: Yeah, it's really comfortable. Now I love it. So before, I slept on a bed. But now I sleep on the futon on the floor and I really like it. Actually, I prefer to sleep on the futon on the floor.

託德：非常舒服。現在我很喜歡睡在地板上。以前，我睡在牀上。不過我現在鋪上日式牀墊，睡在地板上，我非常喜歡這樣睡覺。實際上，我更喜歡睡在日式牀墊上。

Meg: Well, it sounds like your house is really comfortable.

梅格：聽起來你的房子非常舒服。

Todd: It is. It is. I never want to leave.

託德：對，沒錯。我從沒想過搬家。
