CARL: I think we should do the floors before we work on the curtains and walls.
SUE: Why It doesnt make sense.
If we do the floors first, and then paint the walls,
we will get paint all over our new floor.
CARL: Hmm. Maybe youre right. But I cant stand all this green carpet in here.
And besides, I know how to paint. I will just cover everything with drop cloth.
I wont get anything on the floor.
SUE: Are you sure
CARL: Yes, Im sure. Ive done a lot of house painting in my life.
And my mother was very picky.
If I got even a tiny drop of paint on her furniture, she would get furious.
So I learned to be very careful.
SUE: Alright. Then maybe we can do the floor first.
These wood floors under this carpet are beautiful.
And me too--I cant wait to get all this old carpet out of here.
But how can we get it out Do we have to hire someone
CARL: Absolutely not. We can remove the carpet ourselves.
Carpet is held down with carpet nails. You just need to pull it hard and it comes up.
SUE: Great.
Then, after we remove the carpet, we need to restain all the wood floors. Right
CARL: Yes. But we should hire someone for that.
That will probably be expensive. And it has to be done right.
SUE: And then, after the floors are done, we can start to move our furniture in.
CARL: Sure. If we can get an appointment with someone to do the floors,
we should probably be able to have the furniture in here after a week or so.
I can get all the carpet out this weekend.
SUE: So, after the floors are done, and after the furniture is in,
we need to redo the curtains and paint all the walls and ceilings.
CARL: Im the painter.
You can be in charge of going to curtain shops to choose curtains.
That will probably be pretty expensive too. Having good curtains made isnt cheap.
SUE: You mean we cant just buy curtains already made
CARL: Absolutely not.
The windows must be measured, and then the curtains need to be made professionally.
So that will take awhile. Maybe a month or so.
SUE: While the curtains are being made, I can start having people look at the kitchen.
I cant stand that old kitchen. I wont be able to cook in there.
I dont want to use that electric stove.
CARL: We will need to find an interior decorating company do redo the kitchen.
I believe in Portland there are shops that specialize in kitchen renovation.
I will look in the Yellow Pages. Id like a kitchen mostly in ivory and light green.
SUE: I agree. The colors must be soft and pleasant.
You should feel comfortable when you cook our dinners.
CARL: Me Cook our dinners Hah! You will be cooking, dear. You will cook.
SUE: No, I dont think so. Ill be too busy having tea in our new tea room.
CARL: Well, I suppose well have to hire a cook then.
So you wont be able to afford any clothes next year.
SUE: And youll have to sell your motorcycle. And your cameras. Right
CARL: Maybe Ill cook once or twice a week. How is that
SUE: Four times might be enough. Not once or twice.
关于去购物的英文口语对话2ELIZA: This place is great. Im surprised they have so much.
JANE: Yes, but it takes a while to find things.
Its not organized as carefully as a regular store.
ELIZA: I never shopped in an outlet before. We dont have any in my hometown.
Why do they call it an outlet
JANE: Sometimes a clothes company makes too many of one item.
They cant sell it all in their regular stores. So they send the overstock to an outlet.
Thats why they call it an outlet.
Its a store that lets out products the company cant sell in regular stores.
ELIZA: And they have faulty products here too.
JANE: Yes. A faulty product may be a shirt that has some problem.
Or a pair of pants that is ripped a little.
Sometimes the fault is very small. So its a good deal to buy it.
Sometimes, if you have a needle and thread, you can fix it yourself.
ELIZA: I like to sew, so thats easy for me.
I think its a really good deal. Some of these shirts have only one tiny mistake on them.
JANE: I know.
So its a good idea to shop in an outlet sometimes. You can save a lot of money.
ELIZA: Thats great for me.
Now that Steve and I have the baby, we want to save as much as we can.
CASHIER: Cash or credit, Maam
ELIZA: Credit.
JANE: Wow! How many of those sweatshirts are you buying
ELIZA: I have six here.
JANE: Six Why do you need so many
ELIZA: Theyre such a good deal.
Im buying one for Steve, one for his brother Rick,
one for my dad, two for my sisters, and one for me.
JANE: You really know how to use an outlet store!
ELIZA: I ought to make the most of it while Im here, dont you think
JANE: Sure. Youre smart.
