[00:43.02]how long it would take and what it would cost.Right, that's fine.

[00:44.92]需要多久的时间和花  多少钱。那没有问题。

[00:46.83]Well, let's start with the hall, as we're in it, shall we?

[00:48.97]我们先从门厅开始，是  我们所站的这个地方吗？

[00:51.12]It looks in quite good condition.Well, yes, it was decorated only a few years ago.

[00:53.74]看起来环境非常不错。  只在几年以前装修过。

[00:56.37]But what I really want is for all the doors to be painted.

[00:58.32]但是我真正想要的是将  所有的门再上一遍漆。

[01:00.26]You can see the paintwork has got quite chipped. Right.

[01:02.00]你可以看到油漆工作  非常琐碎。是的。

[01:09.67]我们去看看厨房吧。

[01:11.81]Oo ... there's a fair bit of work needs doing here, isn't there?

[01:13.94]很显然这里需要做很多  工作，对吗？

[01:16.06]Exactly.It hasn't been modernised at all.

[01:17.66]正确地说，这里一点也  不现代。

[01:19.26]What I'd like is for new cupboard units to be built.

[01:21.08]我想要一个新的碗碟橱。

[01:22.90]Both the lower ones around the cooker and sink,

[01:24.65]要矮一些的，在灶具和  水池周围，

[01:26.39]and the upper ones on the wall for holding crockery and glasses. Yes, I see.

[01:39.24]那应该没有问题。我看  到你有一个新的漂亮的  灶具。

[01:41.60]Yes, I bought that last month. I'd like the cupboards to be built around it at the

[01:44.57]我上个月买的。我想要  在同样的高度修一个碗  碟橱。

[01:47.54]same height. There's also a new sink with draining boards,

[01:49.29]这里也有一个新的水槽，

[01:51.03]that the plumber 1 installed last week with a new washing machine.

[01:52.60]水管工人上周安装了一个  新的洁具。

[01:54.16]Yes, I'll have to measure the walls and the appliances carefully to

[01:56.36]我必须仔细测量墙壁和  器具

[01:58.55]make sure the cupboards are fitted correctly,

[01:59.72]以保证碗碟橱大小合适，

[02:00.89]then I'I1 get the wood and start making the cupboards for you. Anything else here?

[02:03.38]然后我会开始用木材做  碗碟橱。这里还有其他  的吗？

[02:05.86]Yes, when you've finished the cupboards ,I'd like the wall above them to be tiled

[02:08.42]当你做完碗碟橱的时候，  我想将它们上面的墙壁  铺上瓷砖。

[02:10.97]I've chosen the tiles I want. And then the rest of the walls

[02:12.74]我已经选好了我想要的  瓷砖。剩下的墙壁

[02:14.50]and the ceiling to be painted. I've chosen a paint that matches the tiles.

[02:16.44]和天花板刷漆。我已经  选好了一种匹配瓷砖的  油漆。

[02:20.89]我明白，那不错。你  告诉我你想要的瓷砖  和油漆的名字及准确的  颜色

[02:23.39]and the tiles you want and I'll buy them for you.

[02:24.74]我将买给你。

[02:26.09]I get quite a good discount from the DIY shop in London Road. Oh, that's marvellous.

[02:29.06]我可以从伦敦路一家DIY 商店中得到很多的折扣。  那很了不起。

[02:32.03]What about the floor? Oh yes, I'm going to have it covered with linoleum 2,

[02:34.37]地板怎么样呢？我打算  铺上油毯，

[02:36.71]but you don't need to worry about that as I'm buying it from Marshalls,

[02:36.75]但是你不用担心，因为  我从马歇尔那里买，

[02:36.78]and they'll send someone to cut it to size and fit it,

[02:38.20]他们会派人来裁减大小  并安装，

[02:39.62]when you've finished the cupboards. Oh yes, they're very good. Very reliable.

[02:39.12]当你完成碗碟橱的时候。  那非常好。非常可靠。

[02:38.62]Yes, so I've heard. Well, shall we go on to the bathroom? Right you are.

[02:40.68]我已经听说。我们继续  去浴室看看吗？在这里。

[02:42.73]I don't think I need to replace the bath

[02:43.97]我认为我不需要装修  浴室

[02:45.21]and the washbasin as they are in such good condition.

[02:46.98]和脸盘，因为它们的  情形很好。

[02:48.74]They're over thirty years old, you know! Oh, yes,

[02:50.68]你知道，它们已经有30  多年了  哦，是的，

[02:52.63]they used to make them well in those days. Made to last!

[02:54.39]它们过去使用的很好。  直到最后

[02:56.15]What I would like is for the walls around the bath and shower to be tiled up to the

[02:58.48]我想将浴室周围的墙壁  到天花板铺上瓷砖，

[03:00.80]ceiling,which is quite low. Again, I've chosen the tiles I want.

[03:02.76]相当低。我也选择好了  我想要的瓷砖。

[03:04.72]And I'd like the ceiling and other walls painted in the same colour as the

[03:06.68]我想将天花板和其他的  墙壁刷成同样的颜色。

[03:08.64]tiles.You'll be needing a special water-proof paint for that.

[03:10.44]你需要一种特殊的防水  漆。

[03:12.24]It might be difficult to match that exactly with the colour of the tiles.

[03:14.31]要将瓷砖与油漆的颜色  准确地匹配有些困难。

[03:16.38]Well, if you can get one as close to the colour as possible.

[03:17.99]如果你可以尽可能地  找到相近的颜色。

[03:19.59]I'd also like the floor tiled. I rather like the thought of terracotta tiles,

[03:22.59]我也想铺地面。我相当  喜欢赤土色的瓷砖，

[03:25.60]they look so warm and natural.Oh, now they're difficult.

[03:27.88]它们看起来特别温暖和  自然。现在很困难。

[03:30.17]You'd actually need a specialist for them,

[03:31.50]你实际上需要一位专家，

[03:32.83]as they have to be waxed and waterproofed 3 correctly.

[03:34.40]因为你必须打蜡，并且  严密地防水。

[03:35.97]I think you should ask at the Natural Tile Shop on George Street about that.

[03:38.16]我想你应该问问George  大街自然瓷砖商店。

[03:40.36]Oh, right. I'll do that. Now, the dining room. There isn't much to be done,

[03:42.62]哦，我会那样做的。  现在，是餐厅。这里  没有太多需要做的，

[03:44.89]but I think the window frames need painting. White, is it?Yes, I think white is best.

[03:47.95]但是我想窗户需要重新  刷漆。白色吗？是的，  我想白色是最好的。

[03:51.01]I don't fancy these new coloured frames. I also want the walls to be papered.

[03:53.53]我不能想像这些新的  颜色设计。我也想将墙  包装。

[03:56.05]I have chosen a very pretty wallpaper, but you need to tell me how much to buy.

[03:58.73]我已经选了一种非常  漂亮的壁纸，但是你  需要告诉我要买多少。

[04:01.41]The rolls are ten metres long. Mm ...well,

[04:03.02]一卷是10米长。

[04:04.62]I'd say you'd need about ten rolls for this room ... to be on the safe side.

[04:07.10]我想这间屋子你大概  需要10卷.. .可靠地说。

[04:09.59]What about the ceiling ?Yes, I'd like the ceiling painted white.

[04:11.82]天花板呢？我想将天花板  刷成白色。

[04:14.05]My ex-husband used to smoke a lot and you can see the nicotine 4 stains on it.

[04:16.41]我的丈夫常常吸烟，你  能看到上面有烟碱。

[04:18.76]So it's window frames painted, walls papered and ceiling painted, right?

[04:21.86]窗户刷漆，墙壁贴纸，  天花板刷漆，对吗？

[04:24.96]Yes, that's it. The sitting room doesn't really need much,

[04:26.74]是的，就是那样。客厅  真得不需要太多，

[04:28.52]as it was decorated a few years ago. I think I'd just like the window frames

[04:30.79]因为它在几年前装修过。  我想只需要将窗户

[04:33.06]and doors painted white.Oh yes, this is a lovely room, isn't it?

[04:35.18]和门刷成白色。哦，是  的，这是一个可爱的  房间，不是吗？

[04:37.30]Yes, we've always been very happy here. It gets a lot of light

[04:39.19]我们在这里一直很开心。  得到很多的阳光

[04:41.08]through those two big windows. Now, there's just the bedrooms left.

[04:43.71]尽管这里只有两扇窗户。  现在，  只剩下卧室了。

[04:46.34]Right. Lead the way. This is the main bedroom.

[04:48.46]没错，带路。这是主  卧室。

[04:50.59]I really hate this wallpaper and don't know quite

[04:52.46]我很不喜欢这个壁纸，

[04:54.33]why I've put up with it for so long. So, I'd like it stripped

[04:56.15]不知道为什么会放这么  久。我想把它换掉

[04:57.96]and I think I'd like the walls painted instead.

[04:59.30]把墙壁刷漆来代替。

[05:00.63]I have my eye on a very nice lilac colour , which I think would suit this room.

[05:03.36]我看中了非常漂亮的  紫丁香颜色，我想会  适合这个房间。

[05:06.10]So, you want the paper stripped and the walls painted. Ceiling as well?

[05:08.98]你想要去掉壁纸，给墙  刷漆。天花板也一样吗？

[05:11.86]Yes, ceiling in white. And that's all here. The last one is the guest room.

[05:15.04]是的，天花板是白色的。  最后一个是接待室。

[05:18.23]I'm sorry, it's in a bit of a mess at the moment.

[05:19.81]我很抱歉，这里现在  有点乱。

[05:21.40]I tend to dump everything in here when I don't have guests.

[05:23.09]当我没有客人的时候，  我往往会把所有的东西  都堆放在这里。

[05:24.78]As you can see, it's a small room, but I really think it needs brightening up.

[05:26.76]就象你看到的，这是  一个小房间，但是我  真得认为它需要装饰。

[05:28.74]It doesn't get much light.Yes, you really need a much lighter 5 colour here, don't you

[05:31.66]它得不到太多的阳光。  你需要比较亮一点的  颜色。

[05:34.57]I've chosen a pale yellow paper for this room. So if you could paper it,

[05:37.07]我已经选了但黄色的  壁纸。如果你铺上壁纸，

[05:39.58]paint the ceiling white and the window frame, then I think that will be all.

[05:41.77]把天花板和窗户刷成白  色，我想那会更好一些。

[05:43.97]Right, paper the walls , paint the ceiling and the window frame. So, that's the lot.

[05:46.63]铺壁纸，给天花板和  窗户刷漆。这里有很多  工作。
