Eztalk美语【154】This is too good to be true这根本是在

Walking into the laundry room

Beth: I'm in heaven! A Whirlpool dryer!

LL: I love them, too. Let's move into the kitchen. Wait until you see the refrigerator.

Beth: [Opening the refrigerator doors] This is too good to be true.

LL: And the stove is brand new. You know how to use a gas stove, right?

Beth: Yes. We've lived in Taiwan for a while. I had a gas stove in the States, too.

LL: It's better for cooking Chinese food. Well, what do you think?

Beth: We love it. But we'd like to know about the neighbors.

laundry room

洗衣间

The laundry room is so steamy I should bring my towel and pretend it's a spa.

洗衣间热气弥漫到我得带条毛巾假装我是在做spa。

Whirlpool

「惠而浦」是美国家电品牌，而whirlpool这个字原本是「漩涡」、「按摩浴池」的意思

Watch me make whirlpools with my boat paddle!

看我用船桨制造出的漩涡!

Wait until...

等到…就知道了。这个句型用在要对方别大惊小怪，接下来要经历的才叫厉害

Yes, he loves her-- wait until you see the engagement ring!

他是爱她没错——等你看到订婚戒指就知道了!

走进洗衣间

贝丝：我到天堂了!惠而浦的干衣机!

房东：我也很喜欢。我们去厨房吧。等看到冰箱，你会更兴奋。

贝丝：(打开冰箱门)这根本是在作梦。

房东：炉子也是全新的。你知道怎么用瓦斯炉，对吧?

贝丝：知道。我们在台湾住一阵子了。我在美国也有一个瓦斯炉。

房东：煮中国菜比较方便。所以，你们的想法如何?

贝丝：我们很喜欢这间房子。不过我们想了解一下邻居。
