梅格：嘿，托德，你住在哪里？
Todd: I live on the east side of downtown
托德：我住在市中心东部。
Meg: Oh. Do you like it there?
梅格：哦，你喜欢那里吗？
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.
托德：我很喜欢。我住在一个老房子里。不过那座房子很大，让人感觉很舒服。那是个适合居住的地方。
Meg: Wow. Sounds nice. How many rooms does it have?
梅格：哇哦。听上去真不错。你家有多少个房间？
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.
托德：我的房子非常大。有4个房间。有一间非常大的休息室。那是座日式房屋。所以准确来说不是卧室，因为要睡在地板上。
Meg: Oh.
梅格：哦。
Todd: But it also has a living room. It has, like, an office room and it has a kitchen.
托德：房子里还有客厅、办公室和厨房。
Meg: Is it a big kitchen?
梅格：厨房大吗？
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.
托德：不大，非常小，而且是一个非常老的厨房。我的炉灶非常小。很难用来做饭。不过厨房里有冰箱和微波炉。还有一个漂亮的餐桌。可以说，这个厨房相当不错。
Meg: It sounds okay. What about your living room? What do you have in the living room?
梅格：听起来不错。那客厅呢？你的客厅里有什么？
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.
托德：对男生来说，我的客厅非常酷，因为那是一个看体育比赛的好地方。我有一个非常大的电视，而且我安装了有线电视，所以我能收看所有足球频道。
Meg: Nice.
梅格：不错。
Todd: And I have a really big sofa, so I can sit on my sofa and watch sports and drink beer. It's great.
托德：而且我还有一个大沙发，所以我可以坐在沙发上，一边看体育比赛一边喝啤酒。非常享受。

梅格：你有浴室吗？
Todd: I do. I actually have three bathrooms.
托德：有。实际上我有三个浴室。
Meg: Oh, really?
梅格：真的吗？
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.
托德：有点疯狂。虽然在英语中我们说浴室，不过准确来说我有两个卫生间，一间供客人使用的卫生间。还有一间我自己用的浴室。我房子外面还有一个天然温泉浴。如果我想洗澡，我就用那个房间。
Meg: Wow. I'd love to have a hot spring at my house.
梅格：哇哦。我也想在房子里弄个温泉。
Todd: Yeah, it's very nice. It's very, very nice.
托德：嗯，非常不错。真的很不错。
Meg: Does your house also have a yard?
梅格：你的房子有院子吗？
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.
托德：算有院子吧。我房子外面有块空地，用来种花和灌木。那有点儿像是院子或花园，不过不可以进行体育运动。那里没有草地。可以说是一个非常小的院子。不过很不错。
Meg: Oh yeah. It sounds like a nice place to live.
梅格：好。听起来是个适合居住的好地方。
Todd: It is a nice place to live. I'm very, very lucky.
托德：的确是适合居住的地方。我非常幸运。
Meg: You said you have a sleeping room, not a bedroom. What does that mean?
梅格：你刚才说你有一个休息室，不是卧室。那是什么意思？
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.
托德：对。我住在日式房屋里。所以，那是塌塌米房间。在塌塌米房间睡觉时，是睡在地板上或日式床垫上。所以我没有床。那并不是卧室。白天可以坐在那间房间里，和客人们一起吃东西，聊天。那也是我晚上睡觉的房间。所以我称之为休息室。不过我想，在日本人们称之为塌塌米房间。
Meg: Is it comfortable sleeping on the floor?
梅格：睡在地板上舒服吗？
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.
托德：非常舒服。现在我很喜欢睡在地板上。以前，我睡在床上。不过我现在铺上日式床垫，睡在地板上，我非常喜欢这样睡觉。实际上，我更喜欢睡在日式床垫上。
Meg: Well, it sounds like your house is really comfortable.
梅格：听起来你的房子非常舒服。
Todd: It is. It is. I never want to leave.
托德：对，没错。我从没想过搬家。
