LESSON 23

A new house

0:00 / 0:00

原文

I had a letter from my sister yesterday. She lives in Nigeria. In her letter she said that she would come to England next year. If she comes she will get a surprise.

We are now living in a beautiful new house in the country. Work on it had begun before my sister left. The house was completed five months ago. In my letter I told her that she could stay with us.

The house has many large rooms and there is a lovely garden. It is a very modern house, so it looks strange to some people. It must be the only modern house in the district.

译文

昨天我收到了姐姐的来信。她住在尼日利亚。她在信中说她明年将来到英国。如果她来的话,她会得到一个惊喜。

我们现在住在乡下一栋漂亮的新房子里。在我姐姐离开之前,这项工作就已经开始了。房子是五个月前竣工的。我在信中告诉她她可以和我们住在一起。

房子有许多大房间,还有一个美丽的花园。这是一座非常现代的房子,所以对一些人来说看起来很奇怪。它肯定是该地区唯一的现代住宅。
