跟我好好学英语的第46天

Feelings(3)
But now things are starting to turn around – I’ve been pleasantly surprised at all the help we’ve gotten from our friends and neighbors. 但现在情况开始好转了——我对我们从朋友和邻居那里得到的所有帮助感到惊喜 。


I’m just immensely grateful that my wife and son are healthy, and sometimes I’m overwhelmed with emotion as I reflect on how lucky we are (when emotion is so strong that it’s difficult to think or speak). 我非常感激我的妻子和儿子都很健康,有时当我回想我们是多么幸运时,我被情感淹没了(当情绪太强烈,以至于很难思考或表达) 。


Houses and Apartments (1)
I recently spent a month on vacation – but instead of staying in a hotel, I looked for a short-term rental (a place to live that can be rented for a short period of time). I ended up sharing a two-bedroom apartment – that’s an apartment with two bedrooms, a living room, and a kitchen – with some friends. It was actually cheaper than renting a studio apartment (an apartment with only one big room) all by myself. 我最近花了一个月的假期,但不是住在酒店,而是寻找一个短期的租赁(一个可以租很短的时间居住的地方) 。我最终和一些朋友合住一套两居室的公寓,那是一套有两间卧室、一间客厅和一间厨房的公寓 。实际上,这比自己租一套工作室公寓(只有一间大房间的公寓)便宜 。


【跟我好好学英语的第46天】The apartment was on the top floor of a five-story building (that’s a building with five floors) and it had a balcony overlooking the ocean (that means you can see the ocean from the balcony). 公寓位于一栋五层建筑的顶层(这是一栋五层的建筑),有一个俯瞰大海的阳台(这意味着你可以从阳台上看到海洋) 。
