ESL露西的一天 第7期:起床讲解(6)(在线收听) |
Lucy says that even her "nightstand matches" her "sheets and the rest of the bedroom." 露西说她的“床头柜”也和她的“床单和卧室其他部分很搭”。 A nightstand, "nightstand," (one word) is a small table that you have next to your bed, where you can put your alarm clock and maybe a glass of water. 床头柜(nightstand)是种小桌子,你可以放在床旁边,放闹钟或者放杯水。
That's your nightstand. Sometimes nightstands have what we call a drawer, "drawer." 这就是床头柜。有时候床头柜会有抽屉(drawer)。
A drawer is something that you put something into, like a little box that is in the table. 抽屉就像桌子里的一个小盒子,你可以在里边放东西。
Lucy has a nightstand that matches - that has the same type of color as the rest of her bedroom. 露西说她的床头柜和她卧室其他部分搭配得很好,也就是床头柜和卧室是同一色系。
She says that she decorated her bedroom "so that it would be restful after a busy day at work." 她说她认真装饰了卧室,“这样忙碌了一天回来可以好好休息”。
To decorate, "decorate," means to make your room look nice - to make the colors, the pictures, other things that you have in the room look good - look nice together. 装饰(decorate)是指让房间看起来更赏心悦目,让颜色、图片还有卧室的其他东西看起来更美观,放在一起看更协调。
Lucy decorated her room; she wants it to be restful, "restful." 露西认真装饰了房间,想让它更温馨(restful)。
To be restful means that when you walk into the room, it's relaxing, it's comfortable, it allows you to be able to sleep easily. 温馨的意思是你走进房间的时候,觉得很舒适放松,这也让你入睡更容易。 |
