Welcome to my house. Come on in for a tour and let's learn some English.

歡迎來到我家。進來參觀一下吧，讓我們學點英語。

The first room is the entryway. There are lots of different words we could use for this.

第一個房間是入口。我們可以用很多不同的詞來形容它。

程度副詞

We could use vestibule, foyer, or if you're really fancy, you could say foyer.

我們可以用前庭、門廳，如果你真的很花哨，也可以說門廳。

David, what do you usually call this room?

大衛，你通常怎麼稱呼這個房間？

Entryway. We'll stick with it. And as you can see, we have tons of hooks and we do have kids.

入口。我們會堅持用它。如你所見，我們有很多掛鉤，而且我們確實有孩子。

So we have lots of small and brightly colored things.

是以，我們有很多色彩鮮豔的小東西。

Look at this. I have to show this off because I'm so proud of it.

看看這個我必須炫耀一下，因為我為它感到驕傲。

I tie-dyed this myself last summer for my son Sawyer.

這是我去年夏天親手扎染的，送給我兒子索耶。

I got to say it took approximately one hour to put in all those rubber bands.

我得說，裝上所有這些橡皮筋大約花了一個小時。

So this isn't actually supposed to be me bragging about tie-dye. This is supposed to be my home tour.

所以這並不是我在吹噓扎染。這應該是我的家居之旅。

Okay, this is my garage and there is no way you're going to get me to open this door.

好吧，這是我的車庫，你不可能讓我打開這扇門。

It is such a mess. It's like a tornado went through.

真是一團糟。就像龍捲風刮過一樣。

Like a tornado went through means very, very messy.

就像龍捲風過境，意味著非常非常混亂。

A tornado, also called a twister, cyclone, or whirlwind, is an extremely powerful column of air on the Earth's surface.

龍捲風，又稱旋風、旋風或旋風，是地球表面一股極其強大的氣柱。

So you can imagine that if I'm saying my garage looks like a tornado went through it, it's a big mess.

所以你可以想象，如果我說我的車庫像被龍捲風刮過一樣，那就是一團糟。

Okay, up the steps. Now, the thing about my house is it's a split level.

好了，上臺階我的房子是分層的

So that means that the house, every floor is like that.

也就是說，這棟房子的每一層都是這樣的。

That got really close. Every floor is like this.

So we don't have any stretches of the house where front to back, it's all on one level.

是以，我們的房子沒有任何前後相連的部分，都在一個平面上。

So as you saw, we had to come up some steps and that brings us into our kitchen.

是以，正如你所看到的，我們必須走上幾級臺階，這就來到了我們的廚房。

Now when we bought this room, when we bought this house, this room was not a kitchen.

我們買下這間屋子時，這間屋子還不是廚房。

This room had a half bath, which is what you call a bathroom that's just got a toilet and a sink.

這個房間有一個半浴室，也就是所謂的只有馬桶和水槽的浴室。

And it was their dining room and their living room.

And we thought, no, no, no, no, no. We don't want a kitchen on the second floor.

我們想，不，不，不，不，不。我們不想在二樓建廚房。

That's just odd. So we renovated. We gutted the room.

這太奇怪了。所以我們裝修了我們把房間翻了個底朝天

And look at this island. I had a friend once call it the largest island in Philadelphia.

再看看這座小島。我有個朋友曾稱它為費城最大的島。

So this is the kitchen. Now let's just, let's do a little tour of what we've got here.

這就是廚房。現在，讓我們來參觀一下這裡的一切。

This is one of the ideas that I thought was absolutely genius, which is put a bunch of our mini appliances down here.

你可以從這裡看到我們對點燃蠟燭的熱愛。

So I've got my toaster. I've got my kettle, microwave, and my Vitamix.

And look at this. I just got this for Mother's Day from my sons.

再看看這個。這是我兒子送給我的母親節禮物。

A metal Vitamix pitcher or whatever you would call this, blender top. I love it.

一個金屬的 Vitamix 水壺，或者隨便你怎麼稱呼它，攪拌器的頂蓋。我很喜歡

But anyway, it's so nice having that away.

但無論如何，能離開這裡真好。

I like to be very tidy. I like things to have their place.

我喜歡整潔。我喜歡東西各歸其位。

So to not have to have stuff out on the counter makes me very happy.

所以，不用把東西擺在櫃檯上讓我非常高興。

This is a watercolor painting done by my sister-in-law. Isn't it gorgeous?

這是我嫂子畫的一幅水彩畫。是不是很美？

I like how the wood here, the warm wood color matches the wood of the floor.

我喜歡這裡的木材，溫暖的木色與地板的木色相得益彰。

This kind of wood tile, this kind of arrangement of the tile is called herringbone.

這種木質瓷磚，這種瓷磚的排列方式被稱為人字形。

And I grew up in a house in Florida and it had wood herringbone.

So when I walked in here and I saw this, I was like, I think I'm home.

所以，當我走進來看到這個，我就想，我想我到家了。

Okay, what else do you want to see? Oh, let's talk about the counter.

好吧，你還想看什麼？我們來談談櫃檯吧

This is soapstone, which is just cut from the earth into a slab and then put into our kitchen.

這是皁石，剛從地裡切割成板材，然後放進我們的廚房。

Now we love soapstone, but it is a soft stone, which means it can get busted easily.

現在，我們喜歡皁石，但它是一種軟石，這意味著它很容易破損。

For example, you can see there's a teeny tiny little scratch there.

例如，你可以看到那裡有一個很小的劃痕。

We've got like a pretty big divot. I probably dropped a pot while I was doing dishes and you can see all the it's right here, David. Can't find you.

我們這裡有一個很大的坑我可能在洗碗的時候掉了個鍋 你可以看到所有的東西都在這裡，大衛找不到你

Yep. All the little scratches. Now over here, right on the edge, bam, doing something, dropped it, got a big chink in the edge here.

是的。所有的小劃痕現在在這裡，就在邊緣上，"砰 "的一聲，在做什麼，把它摔了，邊緣上有個大缺口。

But you know what? You can put oil on it and it turns into a nice black.

但你知道嗎？你可以在上面塗油，它就會變成漂亮的黑色。

You can get the scratches right out with that oil.

So we have an eat-in kitchen, which means we have a table in our kitchen.

是以，我們有一個可進食的廚房，這意味著我們在廚房裡有一張桌子。

We don't have a dining room. We decided that we were going to be a house without a dining room because we thought this is big enough, this is good enough for our family of four, and when we have guests over, we can turn the table this way and we can add a leaf.

我們沒有餐廳。我們決定要做一棟沒有餐廳的房子，因為我們覺得這裡已經夠大了，對於我們一家四口來說已經足夠了，而且當有客人來訪時，我們可以把桌子轉到這邊來，還可以加一片葉子。

A leaf is a section of a table that you can add to make it longer.

桌葉是桌子的一個部分，可以加長。

Like leaf on a tree, same spelling, same pronunciation, but different meanings.

就像樹上的葉子，拼寫相同，發音相同，但含義不同。

We have another table we can put at the end and then we can make it really long.

我們還有一張桌子，可以放在最後面，這樣就可以把它做得很長。

Now our other table had two leaves. This table, smaller, only has one leaf.

現在，我們的另一張桌子有兩片葉子。這張桌子較小，只有一片葉子。

But it still works. It works great for us.

但它仍然有效。它對我們非常有用。

Just like a leaf on a tree, the plural of leaf for a table is leaves.

就像樹上的葉子一樣，桌子上葉子的複數是 leaves。
