DIALOGUE

在朋友家

朋友：快进来！快进来！

王华：你家真大！又干净又漂亮！

朋友：谢谢。来，我带你到处看一看。这是餐厅。

王华：这个餐桌真漂亮！颜色看起来很舒服。我特别喜欢这样的餐桌。

朋友：是我老公选的。你看，左边那个房间是书房，右边那个是我在家里的办公室。

王华：我看看。…… 你家的桌子都在哪儿买的？一个比一个漂亮。餐桌、书桌、办公桌，每个我都特别喜欢。

朋友：我在网上买的。你好像很喜欢桌子。

王华：是。小时候我家只有一张桌子，是餐桌，也是书桌，还是办公桌。每天晚饭以后，爸爸、妈妈和我坐在桌子旁边。他们看书或者工作，我写作业。很喜欢那种感觉，所以我一直喜欢桌子，也喜欢买桌子。

朋友：原来如此。

At a friend's home

Friend: Come on in!
Wang Hua: Your house is massive! Clean and nice!
Friend: Thank you. Come on, let me show you around. It is the dining room.
Wang Hua: This dining table is gorgeous! The color looks very nice. I particularly like this type of table.
Friend: It is my husband's choice. Look, the room on the left is the study. The one on the right is my home office.
Wang Hua: Let me see. Where did you buy these tables? All of them are gorgeous. Dining table, desk, office table, I like each of them very much.
Friend: I bought them online. You seem to like tables very much.
Wang Hua: Yes. There's only one table in our house when I was young. It's our dining table, also our desk or office table. My Dad, mom, and I sat at the table every evening after dinner. They read books or worked, and I wrote the homework. I liked that feeling very much. Therefore I've always enjoyed buying this.
Friend: That explains it.
