今天的这段对话，在讨论浴室，
早上去洗手间的第一件事是什么？怎么装修家里的浴室
来听今天的讲解:
Beginner
A: what’s the first thing you do when you go to the bathroom in the morning?
早上去洗手间的第一件事是什么？
B: I look at myself in the mirror. Sometimes, it’s not a pleasant sight, especially if I have been out late the late before.
我照镜子。有时，这不是一个愉快的景象，尤其是如果我前一天很晚才出去的话。
A: do you usually shower or take a bath?
你通常淋浴还是洗澡？
B: I usually don’t have time for a bath in the mornings, so I just take a shower. Sometimes I need a cold shower to wake me up and sometimes I need a hot one, especially if it’s winter and I need to warm up.
我通常早上没有时间洗澡，所以我只洗个澡。有时我需要冷水淋浴来叫醒我，有时我需要热水淋浴，尤其是在冬天，我需要热身的时候。
A: do you shave every morning?
你每天早上刮胡子吗？
B: I shave every workday, but I only shave at weekends if I’m going out somewhere. If I’m staying at home, I don’t shave.
我每个工作日都刮胡子，但我只有在周末出去的时候才会刮。如果我呆在家里，我就不刮。
A: do you brush your teeth twice a day as dentists recommend?
你是否按照牙医的建议每天刷牙两次？
B: Yes. I brush my teeth in the morning, just before I go to work. It’s actually the last thing I do before leaving. Then I brush again before bed.
是的。我早上就在上班前刷牙。这实际上是我离开前的最后一件事。然后我在睡前再刷一次。
A: your dentist must be proud of you!
你的牙医一定为你感到骄傲！
Intermediate
A: the bathroom looks lovely. Did you redecorate it yourself or did you get someone in to do it for you?
浴室看起来很漂亮。是你自己重新装修的还是找人帮你装修的？
B: I did it myself. I went online and found a lot of website devoted to home improvement. Then I went to DIY shop and bought everything I needed. I’m sure I saved a lot of money by doing it myself and it was fun too. I learnt a lot by doing it myselft.
我自己做的。我在网上找到了很多专门用于家居装修的网站。然后我去了DIY商店，买了我需要的一切。我相信我自己做节省了很多钱，而且也很有趣。我自己做学到了很多。
A: so, let’s see. You have put new tiles on the floor and replaced a few tiles on the walls. You’ve also added a small cupboard for toiletries. The bath, shower, and washbasin are the same as before, aren’t they?
所以，让我们看看。你在地板上铺了新瓷砖，在墙上换了几块瓷砖。你还增加了一个小橱柜，用来放洗漱用品。浴缸、淋浴和洗手盆和以前一样，不是吗？
B: yes, they are. I gave them a good clean. They are in good condition and don’t need to be replaced.
是的，他们是。我把他们彻底清洗了。他们的状况很好，不需要更换。
A: how long did it take you to do the tiling.
你铺瓷砖花了多长时间。
B: as I hadn’t done it before, I had to keep referring to information I got from the internet. Doing the floor tiles took a whole day-from early morning to right through to the evening. Then I spent a few hours replacing the cracked wall tiles. Putting the cupboard up took about an hour, so it took me two days altogether.
由于我以前没有做过，我不得不不断地参考从网上得到的信息。从清晨到傍晚，我花了一整天的时间铺地砖。然后我花了几个小时更换开裂的墙砖。把橱柜放起来大约花了一个小时，所以我总共花了两天时间。
A: I think you’ve done a very good job. As least as good as a professional would do. Perhaps I can convince you to redo my bathroom?
我认为你做得很好。至少和专业人士一样好。也许我能说服你重做我的浴室？
B: you’ll be lucky! However, I’ll print out the information I got from the internet and you can do it yourselfe.
你会很幸运的！不过，我会把我从网上得到的信息打印出来，你可以自己做。
