Most people know what it looks like on the outside, but how about the inside?

In this video, I want to show you each floor and what the different rooms are used for.

這部影片，我想向大家展示各層樓以及不同房間的功用

Let's make sure we're all on the same page here.

which is on the East Coast of the United States of America.

華盛頓哥倫比亞特區位在美國東岸

When you think of the White House you probably picture a view like this...

但如果你縮小一點來看，你會發現白宮的規模不只是這樣而已

You can separate the building into three different parts:

你可以將這棟建築分成三個不同部分：
