在家学习英语（慢速英语）

你好。

Hello.

让我们来学习一些家居必备品。

Let's learn some house essentials.

我搬进了新公寓，需要为它添置家具。

I am in my new apartment, and I need to furnish it.

所以一起来收听这个慢速英语播客吧。

So join me in this Slow English podcast.

希望你们今天学到了一些新词汇。

I hope you learned some new vocabulary today.

在我的上一个视频中，我给你们展示了我到目前为止买的东西。

In my last video, I showed you guys what I had bought so far.

但现在，我又买了更多东西。

But now, I've bought even more.

所以让我们来学习一些英语中的家居必备品。

So let's learn some house essentials in English.

我买了一张沙发。

I bought a couch.

我非常喜欢这张沙发。

I love this couch.

它非常舒服。

It's so comfy.

一张舒适的沙发对家居来说非常重要。

A comfy couch is very important for a home.

我喜欢它的颜色，我觉得它让整个房间协调一致。

I love the color and I think it really ties the room together.

当某物让房间协调一致时，意味着它与房间里的所有物品都非常搭配，使整个空间独具特色。

When something ties the room together, it means it really synchronizes with everything in the room and makes it special.

你觉得我的新沙发怎么样？

What do you think of my new couch?

这是你喜欢的风格吗？还是不太符合你的品味？

Is it your style or maybe not so much?

我当然也买了一盆植物。

I got a plant, of course.

植物是一个家最重要的部分，我想让这个空间完全被植物填满。

Plants are the most important part of a home, and I want to fill this place up with plants completely.

植物能带来丰盛、繁荣和财富。

Plants bring abundance, prosperity, and money.

如果你家里还没有植物，那放几盆是个好主意。

It's a good idea to have plants in your home if you don't already.

我当然也买了一面镜子。

I got a mirror, of course.

我喜欢镜子在这个空间里的样子。

I love how mirrors look in a space like this.

我必须非常小心。

I just have to be very careful.

我爸爸说那面镜子可能会引起火灾。

My dad says that that mirror can cause a fire.

据说吧。

Supposedly.

我不知道，但我特别喜欢这个镜子放在这里的样子。

I don't know, but I love how that mirror looks right there.

我不想把它移开，因为阳光照在上面看起来太棒了。

I don't want to move it away from the sun because it looks so good right there.

但我爸爸说，镜子反射阳光可能会引发火灾。

But my dad says the sun reflecting off of the mirror can cause a fire.

我不知道。

I don't know.

我特别喜欢它放在这里的样子。

I love how it looks right there.

我不想把它移到别的地方。

I don't want to move it someplace else.

我还有一张瑜伽垫。

I also have my yoga mat.

当然，我把瑜伽垫藏在镜子后面，只是为了让整体看起来更整洁。

Of course, I hide it behind the mirror just to keep things looking tidy.

整洁有序，每样东西都各得其所。

Tidy and clean with everything in its place.

我还买了一盆新的植物。

I also got another plant, actually.

这盆植物是巴西树。

This plant is a Brazil tree.

我觉得是巴西树。

A Brazilian tree, I think.

我稍后会解释这些便利贴。

I'll explain the sticky notes in a minute.

别担心。

Don't worry.

我喜欢巴西树。

I love Brazil trees.

我房间里一直有一棵巴西树，它们非常漂亮。

I've always had a Brazil tree in my room and they're so pretty.

空气感觉清新多了，而且它们不需要阳光。

The air feels so much cleaner and they don't need any sun.

它们几乎不需要浇水。

And they barely need water.

每周一次就够了。

Only once a week.

我甚至会用堆肥的养分来给我的两盆植物浇水。

I even keep a compost to water my two plants with the nutrients from my compost.

你有养植物吗？

Do you have any plants?

你会为你的植物堆肥吗？

Do you keep a compost for your plants?

我买了一些毯子。

I got some throw blankets.

披肩毯比普通毯子要小。

Throw blankets are smaller than the average blanket.

这是普通毯子的样子，这是披肩毯的样子。

This is what a normal blanket looks like, and this is what a throw blanket looks like.

看到了吗？

See?

它们小得多。

They're much smaller.

你只是在看电影或工作时随便盖一下，我想。

You just use them to throw on when you're watching a movie or just working, I guess.

我买了这些边桌，用来放些杂物，比如我的跳绳或健身带。

I got these side tables to keep some junk in, like my jump rope or my exercise bands.

我只是喜欢它们，这样看电影时可以把杯子放上去。

I just like these so I can set my cup on them while I'm watching a movie.

现在，我最喜欢的部分之一——投影仪。

Now, one of my favorite parts, the projector.

这个投影仪晚上看起来真漂亮。

This projector looks so nice at night.

屏幕太大了。

It's such a big screen.

如果你在决定是买电视还是考虑买投影仪，我来告诉你答案。

If you're deciding between buying a TV or considering buying a projector, I have your answer.

买投影仪吧。

Get the projector.

我超爱我的投影仪。

I love mine.

我每天晚上都在这个投影仪上看《权力的游戏》。

I have been watching Game of Thrones on this every night.

我刚刚开始看这个剧。

I just started watching this series.

太好看了。

It's so good.

我着迷了。

I'm obsessed.

我一直在看《权力的游戏》。

I have been watching Game of Thrones.

你最近在看什么？

What have you been watching?

记住，当我们想表达某事从过去开始并持续到现在时，要用‘have been’。

Remember, we use have been when something started in the past but continues in the present.

我有一块小白板，用来写下我要做的小事。

I have this little whiteboard that I write down little things that I have to do.

这是我的待办事项清单。

It's my to do list.

别管这些乱七八糟的盒子、网线和角落里堆着的书。

Ignore all of this mess of boxes and Ethernet cables and my pile of books left in the corner.

还有很多工作要做。

There's still a lot of work to be done.

但现在，我们来看看厨房，我买了两把可旋转的椅子。

But now, moving on to the kitchen, I bought two swivel chairs.

可旋转的椅子，因为它们可以左右转动。

Swivel chairs because they swivel from side to side.

它们非常适合我们在小厨房吧台用餐。

They are perfect for us to eat at our little kitchen bar.

另外，抱歉看到这把扫帚。

Also, excuse the broom.

我刚才在扫地，就把所有东西都堆在角落里了。

I was sweeping and I just left the entire mess in the corner.

但说到扫帚，我买了一把拖把。

But speaking of brooms, I bought a mop.

我终于能拖地了。

I can finally mop.

当然，我还得买一个水桶。

And, of course, I also had to get a bucket.

现在最重要的部分，冰箱。

Now the most important part, the refrigerator.

终于，我每天都在吃金枪鱼，但最后我们有了冰箱。

Finally, I was eating tuna every day, but finally we got the refrigerator.

这其实非常令人紧张，因为我们订购了冰箱，它到了，也安装好了。

It was so stressful actually because we ordered the refrigerator, it arrived, and it was installed.

我们等了二十四小时，然后才打开它。

We waited twenty four hours, and then we turned it on.

我们插上冰箱的电源，但它不工作。

We plugged in the refrigerator, and it didn't work.

它无法变冷。

It wouldn't get cold.

所以我们的所有食物都坏了。

So all of our food went bad.

水果、蔬菜、牛奶和酸奶全都坏了。

The fruits and vegetables and milk and yogurt all went bad.

所以我们不得不叫了维修工，他来修好了我们的冰箱。

So we had to call the repairman, and he came and fixed our refrigerator.

我们当然得多付钱，但无论如何，我们有了冰箱。

We had to pay more, of course, but nevertheless, we have a fridge.

还有另一件非常重要的事，就是盖子。

Something else that's very important, the toppers.

就是特百惠容器。

The Tupperware.

大号的特百惠。

Big tuppers.

小号的特百惠。

Small tuppers.

还有中号的特百惠。

And medium sized tuppers.

还有一些香料、酱料和食用油。

Some more spices, sauces, and cooking oil.

一个刀架。

A knife holder.

更多的盘子、杯子、勺子、叉子，一些用于涂抹黄油的黄油刀、一个打蛋器、一块被我的浆果弄脏的砧板、一个奶酪擦丝器和一个青柠榨汁器。

More plates, more mugs, more spoons, more forks, some butter knives for spreading butter, a whisk, a cutting board, dirty from my berries, a cheese grater, and a lime squeezer.

一些小东西，比如纸巾、垃圾袋、一台咖啡机。

Some little things like paper towels, trash bags, a coffee machine.

虽然我不喝咖啡，但我的室友喝。

Even though I don't drink coffee, my roommate does.

我还买了一块全新的地毯。

I also got a brand new rug.

我觉得它和房间搭配得完美极了。

I think it ties in with the room perfectly.

那是我的新环形灯。

That's my new ring light.

我买了一个牙刷架、一条浴巾，还添置了一些拍视频用的新东西。

I got a toothbrush holder and a bath towel, and I got some new things for my videos.

我妈妈给我买了这些蜜蜂灯给Miss Honey，还有一个带环形灯的三脚架，以及一个用来让录制更舒适的枕头。

My mom bought me these bee lights for Miss Honey, a new tripod with a ring light, and a pillow to be more comfortable recording.

我还得买这些耳塞，因为外面太吵了。

I also had to get these earplugs because it's so noisy outside.

没有它们我根本睡不着。

I couldn't sleep without them.

这是我的桌子，堆满了各种杂物，还有我的润肤露。

This is my desk filled with lots of junk, my lotion.

这个东西太棒了。

This thing is amazing.

你知道这是什么吗？

Do you know what this is?

一些便利贴、我的移动电源、我的指甲剪、一个加湿器、一杯咖啡、我的眼镜、我的电脑和鼠标。

Some sticky notes, my portable charger, my nail clippers, a humidifier, a mug with some coffee, my glasses, my computer, and the mouse.

现在让我来解释一下这些便利贴。

And now let me explain all of these sticky notes.

这个有点模糊了。

This one's a little bit smudged.

我从一个新朋友那里得到了一个建议。

I got a tip from a new friend of mine.

她是中国人，学英语的时候，她说她曾经在家中每件物品上都贴上英文名称的便利贴。

She's Chinese, and when she learned English, she said that she used to put sticky notes with the names in English on every object in her house.

这样，她首先就学会了周围所有东西的英文名称。

That way, she learned the name of everything around her in English first.

不是那些你从不使用的、最终会忘记的无用英语单词。

Not unnecessary English words that you never use, therefore, you forget eventually.

有了便利贴，你一整天都能看到它们。

With the sticky notes, you see them all day.

因为这些便利贴，你的大脑一直在用英语思考。

Your brain is always thinking in English because of those sticky notes.

所以我也用同样的方法学中文。

So I'm doing the same with Chinese.

我听从了朋友的建议，把家里每样东西的名字都写在便利贴上，然后贴在对应的物品上。

I followed my friend's advice, and I wrote down every word from around my house onto a sticky note, and I stuck them onto each object.

我的电脑、桌子、植物，甚至厨房的椅子上都贴了，这个方法真的非常有用。

My computer, my table, my plant, and even on my kitchen chair, That's been a super useful tip.

我也建议你试试看。

I recommend you try it too.

到目前为止，这是我为家里购置的基本用品。

These were the essentials I bought for my home so far.

我还需要买几样东西，但我的公寓还没完全布置好。

I still have a few things to get, but my apartment isn't fully furnished yet.

你家里什么是必需品？

What is an essential in your home?

你家里最重要的东西是什么？

What's the most important thing in your house?

我的是沙发。

Mine is the couch.

它让任何空间都像家一样，让我和我的家人、朋友能坐在一起欢笑。

It makes any space feel like a home, and it lets me and my family, me and my friends sit down and laugh together.
