Hugo: Wow, when you said that you did some woodworking on the weekends, I thought you meant refinishing furniture. But this! This is a real workshop and you’re actually building furniture.
雨果:哇奥,你说周末做了一些木工活时,我以为你整修了一些家具呢。但是这个地方真是个作坊,你确实在做家具。
Shawna: Yeah, this is what I’m working on right now. I’m building a dining table and chairs.
莎瓦娜:是的,这就是我现在做的事。我正做一个餐桌还有一些椅子。
Hugo: The grain is beautiful on this piece of hardwood. It certainly looks better than the plywood furniture I have in my house. What is all this?
雨果:这块硬木头的纹理很漂亮,看上去比我家里的三合板家具要好很多。这些是什么东西?
Shawna: Just some basic tools: saws, chisels, and drills.
莎瓦娜:只是一些基本的工具:锯、凿子和电钻。
Hugo: And what is all this metal for?
雨果:这些金属是用来干什么的?
Shawna: I’m adding some grillwork for the back of the chairs. I don’t usually do metalwork, but I’m keeping it simple.
莎瓦娜:椅子靠背后,我想加一些格子形图案。我不经常做金属加工的活儿,但是我想弄简单点。
Hugo: This doesn’t look simple. These pieces have been welded together, and is that used for soldering?
雨果:这看起来并不简单。这些金属碎片已经焊接到一起了,那个工具是用来焊接的吗?
Shawna: You got it. When all is said and done, I’ll have a new dining room set with a large table and eight chairs.
莎瓦娜:是的,等所有这些弄完了,我就会有一个新的餐厅:配有一张大桌子、八张椅子。
Hugo: Wow, I’m impressed.

Shawna: Want to try your hand at it?
莎瓦娜:你想试试做一下吗?
Hugo: No thanks. You see these 10 fingers? I’m rather fond of them.
雨果:不了,谢谢。你看这10根手指,我非常喜欢。
