    We have just moved into a new house and I have been working hard all morning.
    我們剛剛搬進一所新房子,我辛辛苦苦地干了整整一個上午。
    I have been trying to get my new room in order.
    我試圖把我的新房間收拾整齊,
    This has not been easy because I own over a thousand books.
    但這并不容易,因為我有1,000多本書。
    To make matters worse, the room is rather small, so I have temporarily put my books on the floor.
    更糟糕的是房間還非常小,所以我暫時把書放在了地板上。
    At the moment, they cover every inch of floor space and I actually have to walk on them to get in or out of the room.
    這會兒,書把地板的每一點空隙都占據(jù)了,我實際上是踩著這些書進出房間的。
    A short while ago, my sister helped me to carry one of my old bookcases up the stairs.
    幾分鐘前,我妹妹幫我把一個舊書櫥抬上了樓。
    She went into my room and got a big surprise when she saw all those books on the floor.
    她走進我的房間,當她看到地板上的那些書時,大吃一驚。
    'This is the prettiest carpet I have ever seen,' she said.
    “這是我見過的漂亮的地毯,”她說。
    She gazed at it for some time then added, 'You don't need bookcases at all.
    她盯著“地毯”看了一會兒,又說:“你根本用不著書櫥,
    You can sit here in your spare time and read the carpet!'
    空閑時你可以坐在這兒讀地毯!”
