第46周 买房
荧屏情景:
星期二 推销房屋 片段选自《美国丽人》 American Beauty 11:30--12:38
Carolyn: Welcome. I'm Carolyn Burnham. This living room is very dramatic. Wait till you see the native stone fireplace! A simple cream could really lighten things up. You could even put in a skylight. Well, why don't we go into the kitchen? It's a dream come true for any cook. Just filled with positive energy, huh? And you'll be surprised how much a ceiling fan can cut down on your energy costs. You know, you could have some really fun backyard get-togethers out here.
卡洛琳:欢迎光临,我是卡洛琳·伯纳姆。这间客厅很气派,壁炉是用上好石材砌成的,粉刷一下便焕然一新。你也可以装个天窗,那效果会更棒。我们去看看厨房吧,这里简直就是美食家乐园,每个人都能当食神。你也一定会惊讶电吊扇可以省下一大笔电费呢,还有后院可以举行很棒的烤肉大会。
Clienta A: The ad said this pool was lagoon-like. There's nothing lagoon-like. Except for maybe the bugs. There aren't even any plants out here.
客户A:广告说泳池很像蓝色珊瑚礁,看来这一点也不像。不过这里只有一大堆蚊子,连花草都没有。
Carolyn: What do you call this? Is this not a plant? If you have a problem with the plants, I can always call my landscape architect. Solved.
卡洛琳:这些呢?这不是花草吗?你们要花草我就找园丁来一次搞定。
Client B: I mean, I think "lagoon", I think waterfall, tropical. This is a cement hole.
客户B:珊瑚礁应该有热带风味,可这只是个水泥坑。
Carolyn: I have some tiki torches in the garage.
卡洛琳:车库里有火把。
