Her Dream House 她的理想之家
Curtis: All right. So Spencer if you could design yourdream home, what would it be like?
柯蒂斯:好。斯宾塞,如果你能设计你的理想住所,你会设计成什么样子?
Spencer: I know exactly what it would be like. Itwould be all wood, old-style beach house on theocean and on the sand. So it would have ocean frontporches all the way around. The biggest thing is the porches because I don't really care abouthaving, you know, massive extra rooms for guests or whatever like I want to be able to beoutside. Like being outside is big for me. I love screened-in porches as well. So that and alibrary. I'm a huge kind of book nerd, so I would love to have just a library with lots of differentshelves and, you know, a couple of desks for studying. That's the dream home for me.
斯宾塞:我完全清楚那是什么样子。那应该是全部用木头建造的老式海滨小屋,建在大海上或沙滩上。房子要有门廊,延伸至大海。门廊是最重要的,因为我并不在乎是否有客房之类的备用房间,我只想能更接近外面。这对我来说很重要。我也喜欢有屏风的门廊。还要有图书馆。我非常喜欢读书,所以我想有个小型图书馆,里面放很多书架,再放几张书桌用来学习。那就是我的理想之家。
Curtis: Actually, I'm wondering about the outside. Would you paint the house or would you justleave it the natural wood color?
柯蒂斯:实际上,我很好奇你房子的外观。你是会粉刷房子还是就让它保持原始木头的颜色?
Spencer: I want a natural color. There's an island south that's all kind of pastel Easter egglooking colors and it's too much for me. Also too like all the beach houses in LA, they're all kindof too tacky for me. Like I don't know. I like kind of the old look kind of traditional style.
斯宾塞:我想保持原有的颜色。南岛的房子是那种像复活节彩蛋一样的颜色,我认为那有些过了。另外,洛杉矶的海滨小屋看上去太俗了。要怎么说,我喜欢传统风格,喜欢旧貌。
Curtis: Do you think you would use natural wood on it or a different material? I know that thebeaches are really tough on the siding and paneling.
柯蒂斯:你是会用原木还是用其他材料?我知道在海滩上建房子很难用壁板和镶板。
Spencer: That is true.
斯宾塞:没错。
Curtis: Okay. What would the kitchen be like in your dream house?
柯蒂斯:好。那你理想之家中的厨房会是什么样子的?
Spencer: I'm not much of a cook but I hope that my future husband is. So I would like to havea big kitchen for him. Lots of table space. I want one of those islands, you know, in the centerof a kitchen where there's a marble countertop that has, you know, a couple of sinks and theability to kind of put multiple different parts of vegetables or fruits out and about while you'recooking and preparing. Yeah. I'd also like kind of a bar counter space as well so that peoplekind of pull up a chair and maybe help cook or maybe just be there for company while you'recooking.
斯宾塞:我不喜欢做饭,不过我希望我未来的老公会做饭。所以,我希望为他准备一个大厨房。有许多空间。我希望在厨房的中心是大理石台面,有洗涤糟,在做饭和准备烹调时,有地方把各种蔬菜和水果摆放出来。我还希望有个吧台一样的地方,这样我们就可以拉把椅子,帮忙做饭或是在有人做饭时陪伴在那里。
Curtis: And how about your living room, do you have any ideas for that?
柯蒂斯:那客厅呢?你有什么想法?
Spencer: Living room mainly just comfort. My parents had a living room in their house but itwas all just really nice antique furniture and we were never allowed to go there. So it's kind oflike what's the point of having a room in a house that you never go into? So I would like a livingroom, yes, maybe with a fireplace and some antique furniture but nothing too nice that, youknow, my child or my dog were to come in from outside could really like mess up.
斯宾塞:客厅一定要舒服。我父母的房子里有客厅,不过客厅里全是优质的古董家具,他们从来不允许我们去客厅。这样一来,家里就有一间我从来没去过的房间。所以,我希望客厅里有一个壁炉,有一些古董家具,但不用太名贵,这样我的孩子和宠物狗都可以进出和玩耍。
Curtis: And how about your yard, do you have any ideas for a yard around your house?
柯蒂斯:那花园呢,你会怎么设计花园?
Spencer: I want a lot of dogs. So I would like a big yard that they could be able to run aroundin, as well as if I have children, like have enough room for them to be able to, you know, slipand slide. So, you know, one of my best friends back home she had a yard that had a creek init. And that was so much fun like growing up being able to like catch different, you know, creepy-crawlies in the stream as well as have a messy or muddy day if we wanted to.
斯宾塞:我想养很多只狗。所以我希望有个大花园,让它们能在里面到处跑,如果我有孩子,我希望能有足够的空间让孩子们戏水。我最好的朋友,她家里的花园有一条小溪。孩子在这样的环境长大会更快乐,因为他们能在小溪里看到各种爬行动物,如果他们喜欢,还可以在泥塘里玩。
Curtis: And how about the bathroom?
柯蒂斯:那浴室呢?
Spencer: I want a massive bathroom actually. You know, my favorite shower in the world haslike five or six different faucets and it's just massive. That gives you space. I'm kind of aclumsy person, so if I fall down I don't want to be able to, you know – I don't want to hit myhead on anything. I also like a big Jacuzzi bathtub. My grandparents have this really, really, bigold porcelain tub that I swear like five people could fit into. So I'd really like to be able to havea big bathtub.
斯宾塞:我想有个大浴室。你知道,我最喜欢的淋浴器有五六个旋塞,非常大。这就保障了足够的空间。我有些笨手笨脚的,如果我摔倒了,我不想伤到头。我还想要一个大的按摩浴缸。我祖父母家里有一个非常大的旧式瓷盆,里面肯定能坐五个人。我非常想有一个大浴缸。
Curtis: Okay. Thank you.
柯蒂斯:好。谢谢你。
Sleeping Patterns 睡觉模式
Todd: So Sarah, let's talk about sleep. How manyhours of sleep do you usually get every night?
托德:萨拉,我们来谈谈睡眠。你一般每晚睡几个小时?
Sarah: Usually, at least eight. It depends on howlate I stay up but usually about eight hours, I try toget every night.
萨拉:通常来讲,至少睡8个小时。这要取决于我几点睡,不过一般我每晚会睡够8个小时,我会尽量做到。
Todd: And you are pretty consistent, like even on the weekends, you get eight hours.
托德:你是一直坚持睡8个小时吗?周末的时候也会睡8个小时?
Sarah: Yes. Even on the weekends. Sleep is very important for me to feel normal andenergetic.
萨拉:对。周末我也会坚持。对我来说睡觉非常重要,休息好能保证我的精神状态,让我活力充沛。
Todd: Now, do you need an alarm clock to wake you up or you just wake up naturally everyday?
托德:那你是需要靠闹钟起床还是每天会自然醒?
Sarah: I definitely have to have an alarm clock. Even though I wake up very easily, I don'twake up at a routine time easily. So I usually set two alarms and that will usually get me up.
萨拉:我必须要定闹钟。虽然我非常容易醒,不过我不会在应该起床的时间自然醒。所以我通常会设两个闹钟叫我起床。
Todd: Oh wow. I actually have this kind of weird mental ability. I thought that everybody cando this but I found out it's not the case, but I can wake up exactly at the minute I want, anytime. So like, if I have to get up at 5:43, before I go to bed, I can say, "Okay. Get up at 5:43." And I'll wake up at 5:43, exactly.
托德:哇哦。我有这种奇怪的精神能力。我以前认为所有人都能做到,不过后来我发现并不是这样,我可以在我需要起床的任何时间醒过来。比如,如果我要5点43分起床,那我在上床休息前,我会说:“好。5点43分起床。”然后我就会准确地在5点43分醒来。
Sarah: That's amazing.
萨拉:这太不可思议了。
Todd: Yeah. I don't know how – I guess your brain just can keep time. When I tell people this, sometimes they think, "Oh come on, that's not true." But really, ever since I was a kid I couldjust tell myself what time I want to wake up and I'll wake up exactly at that time.
托德:对,我也不知道为什么,可能是因为大脑记住了时间。我和其他人提到我的这种能力时,他们会说:“哦,得了吧,那肯定不是真的。”不过,我从小时候开始就一直告诉自己需要醒来的时间,然后我就会在准确的时间醒过来。
Sarah: That's really quite amazing. I wish it was that way for me, but it's not.
萨拉:这真的太令人吃惊了。我希望我也能做到,可惜我做不到。
Todd: Yeah. You know what's weird – because I don't use alarm clocks. And I can't – like analarm clock – the idea actually, I can't have a deep sleep if I know that it's going to ring andwake up, like it's going to jolt. To me an alarm clock is like somebody throwing cold water onyou, you know. So yeah, I don't use alarm clocks at all.
托德:嗯。那很怪异,因为我并没有用闹钟。我不能用闹钟这种东西,如果我知道有东西会响、会震动,会让我醒过来,那我就无法睡熟了。对我来说,闹钟就像被泼凉水一样。所以,我完全不能用闹钟。
Sarah: Yeah. I'm always paranoid about being late so that's why I set two just in case likeone doesn't go off. But I can sleep anytime of the day. Like it really doesn't matter what typeof day, it's very easy for me to fall asleep for as long as whenever. So that's why I have to havean alarm clock because I could sleep 12 or 14 hours and not wake up.
萨拉:好。我一直很怕会迟到,所以我要定两个闹钟,以防闹钟不响。不过我在任何时候都能睡着。无论是哪天,对我来说入睡非常容易,我任何时间都可以睡着。所以要设两个闹钟,不然我可能会睡12到14个小时。
Todd: Wow. That's like you do like sleep.
托德:哇哦。听起来你很喜欢睡觉。
Sarah: Yeah.
萨拉:对。
Todd: So do you take naps?
托德:那你午睡吗?
Sarah: No, because then I feel really like groggy and really like irritable if I take naps becauseI just want to sleep longer than that amount of time. So I don't take naps.
萨拉:不,如果我午睡的话,我会感觉无力又易怒,因为我想多睡一会儿。所以我不午睡。
Todd: Like can you sleep with the light on?
托德:开着灯你能睡着吗?
Sarah: Yes.
萨拉:可以。
Todd: Really?
托德:真的吗?
Sarah: Yes.
萨拉:对。
Todd: Yeah, I can't. Actually, that's why I always wake up so early. As soon the light comesthrough the window, I wake up. I can't sleep if it's not dark.
托德:好,我睡不着。所以我很早就醒了。阳光一照进窗户,我就醒了。如果不是黑暗的环境,我就睡不着。
Sarah: I can sleep in any situation; light, noise, sitting up. It doesn't matter. I can sleep.
萨拉:我可以在任何环境下睡着,无论是开着灯、有噪音,还是坐着,我都能睡着。
Todd: Oh wow. So you're a deep sleeper.
托德:哇哦。所以你睡得很沉。
Sarah: Yeah.
萨拉:对。
Todd: I'm so jealous. Like just a little bit of noise or a little bit of light and I can't sleep. Andactually, I probably only get an average six hours a night. But I do sometimes take naps.
托德:我太羡慕你了。只要有一点噪音,或是一点光,我就睡不着了。我的睡眠时间为平均6小时。不过我有时会午睡。
Sarah: Oh okay. How long do you usually nap for?
萨拉:好。你一般午睡多长时间?
Todd: Usually an hour. I found out if I go over an hour then that's the danger zone becausethen if you sleep like two or three hours, then you wake up and you're just groggy for the wholeday. Like you can't – it's like you've been drugged, you know. So yeah. Forty-five minute nap isabout it.
托德:通常是一个小时。我发现,如果我午睡的时间超过一个小时,那就会进入危险区,因为那样我会睡两三个小时,这样再醒来的时候就会感觉一整天都处于无力的状态。就像有人拖着你一样。所以,45分钟左右的午睡很合适。
Sarah: Yeah. When you were a child, did your parents make you take naps?
萨拉:好。你小时候,父母会让你午睡吗?
Todd: They did. And oddly enough, when I was a kid though, I couldn't sleep, like, you wouldcry, "I don't want to take a nap" you know. And you'd be like you conk out. But yeah, I doremember. Do you remember having to take naps in school?
托德:会。奇怪的是,我小时候午睡睡不着,然后我就会说“我不想午睡”。然后就会很快睡着。我还记得这些。你记得在学校里午睡的情况吗?
Sarah: I didn't go to school actually. I was home schooled.
萨拉:实际上我没有去上学。我是在家自学的。
Todd: Oh really.
托德:哦,真的吗?
Sarah: I remember taking naps when I was really little but beyond that and like school-age, Inever had to.
萨拉:我很小的时候会午睡,不过在那之后,到入学年龄以后,我就不再午睡了。
Todd: Oh wow. Anyway, all these talks are making me tired. I think I'm ready for a nap.
托德:哇哦。这些对话让我感觉很累。我想我要去小憩一下。
Sarah: Sounds good.
萨拉:听起来不错。
His Dream House 他的理想之家
Spencer: Yeah. So Curtis, what would your dreamhouse be like? Tell me about the kitchen, livingroom, yard.
斯宾塞:好。柯蒂斯,你的理想之家是什么样的?和我说说你理想中的厨房、客厅和花园。
Curtis: Well, I've thought a lot about my dreamhouse and designing it. Actually, that's the kind ofwork that my father does, so he said he could draw the plans up for me. But I've done a lot ofart and I really want to work my art into the house. So the living room, I would like there to bekind of a frieze around the outside of the room where I actually do the art myself. Now, I usedto do a lot of construction when I was younger, and so I would really like to take part in theprocess so that I have a kind of sense of ownership with the house that I've really built a partof that. The kitchen, I want it to be a very large space and next to a room that has a lot ofmedia so that you can kind of pay attention to things or watch tutorials and recipes whileyou're cooking, follow along with your favorite chefs or cooking channels. I'd like a really bigindustrial refrigerator and a huge island that I can work with, as well as a massive sink forcleaning things. I used to work at a restaurant and I loved the dishwasher there because it wasso quick and easy. So I would like a restaurant-style dishwasher in my kitchen, too.
柯蒂斯:就理想之家来说,我想了很多,也进行了设计。实际上,那是我父亲的工作,他说过他可以为我画设计图。不过我也学过很多与艺术相关的东西,我想自己设计我的房子。就客厅来说,我希望房外墙有壁画,我通常自己制作这些壁画。我以前做建筑工作,我年轻的时候很喜欢建房子,这让我感觉我是这个家的主人,房子一部分是我建的。我希望厨房空间很大,厨房旁边的房间最好有很多媒体设备,这样在做饭的时候,就能参考教程或是食谱,按照你喜欢的主厨或是美食频道教的那样做。我想要一个大的工业冰箱,一个大的工作台,以及清洁用的洗涤糟。我在餐厅工作过,我喜欢餐厅的洗碗机,因为可以很快就把碗洗完,而且很好操作。我也想在我的厨房里装一个餐厅用的洗碗机。
Spencer: Yeah. So tell me about – what would your yard be like?
斯宾塞:好。那花园呢?
Curtis: I would like a lot of grass. I really love a yard with nice grass especially when you'replaying soccer, you can get under the ball and have a lot of fun like that.
柯蒂斯:我希望有块大草坪。我非常喜欢带草坪的花园,可以在草坪上踢足球、玩躲避球,享受快乐时光。
Spencer: It's nice to have a big backyard to play sports.
斯宾塞:有个能进行体育活动的大后院不错。
Curtis: Yeah. I think so as well.
柯蒂斯:对。我也是这么想的。
Spencer: What about your bathroom?
斯宾塞:那浴室呢?
Curtis: My bathroom. Well, I would like to have a kind of a spa in there, honestly. I would liketo have a big bathtub. But I want my house to have geothermal heating. And if I have ageothermal heating system, I can also probably have a hot spring in the bathroom. I like it tobe quite big and have a nice shower as well. Just very nice open area with nice sinks. I don'twant to feel constrained in my bathroom. I don't want it to be small. It has to be big.
柯蒂斯:浴室。说实话,我想在浴室装一个水疗设施。我也想浴室里有个大浴缸。我希望我的房子用地热供暖。如果我有地热供暖系统,我还可以在浴室里泡温泉。我还希望浴室面积大一些,有不错的淋浴器。浴室要有开孔面积,配备优质的水槽。我不希望浴室给人压抑的感觉。浴室也不能太小,面积一定要大。
Spencer: What about your living room?
斯宾塞:那客厅呢?
Curtis: My living room. One of the things that was really important to me for my living roomagain, is the art that I want to have a lot of details around the outside that are murals or friezesthat I have actually created on the wall and so that there's almost a kind of entertaining senseabout it. Just being in there before you turn on any other devices or televisions or anything likethat. That there is kind of a artistic and comfortable feel to it. It doesn't feel sterile, it feelsvery homey.
柯蒂斯:客厅。我认为,对客厅来说其中一件重要的事是,我希望外墙有很多艺术作品,比如我制作的壁画,这会使人愉快。在打开其他设备或是电视以前,看看那些艺术品。那种艺术性会让人感觉舒适。不会给人刻板的感觉,而是会让人感受到温馨。
Spencer: Cool. Would you have a big garage?
斯宾塞:真酷。你想要个大车库吗?
Curtis: I probably would have a big garage because I really love driving, and I used to race carsat the track. And for the purposes of doing work on cars, or any other DIY work around thehouse, I would like to have a really big nice garage.
柯蒂斯:我可能需要个大车库,因为我喜欢开车,我以前在赛道上赛过车。为了改装汽车,或是自己设计房子,我想有个非常大的车库。
Spencer: Would you have any sort of like swimming pool or – I know you said you wanted asauna in your bathroom but...
斯宾塞:你想要游泳池吗?你说过你想在浴室里建个桑拿房。
Curtis: I would really like a portion that's maybe separate from the bathroom, that hasshutters that open up. So on a nice night, you can actually open it and see out over the yard orwhatever landscapes that the house is built next to.
柯蒂斯:我希望浴室有一部分区域和浴室隔开,安装百叶窗。在一个美好的夜晚,你可以打开百叶窗,俯视花园或是房子周围的景色。
Spencer: That would be cool.
斯宾塞:那一定很酷。
Curtis: But I would like the area to be a little bit private, hopefully surrounded by woods a littlebit where you can't see your neighbors immediately.
柯蒂斯:不过我希望那个区域能隐私一些,希望周围有树木之类的可以遮住,这样就不会直接看到邻居了。
Spencer: Yeah, exactly.
斯宾塞:对,没错。
