Wow, congratulations, Simon! The place looks absolutely amazing!
哇噢，可喜可賀，西蒙！這地方看起來棒極了！
Really? You think so?
真的嗎？你這么認為？
Of course. I love it. It looks like you had a professional interior designer. But you didn't, did you?
那是當然。我很喜歡。這看起來好像你有個專業的室內設計師一樣。但你并沒有，是嗎？
No. I did it all by myself with a little help from my brother, Greg. He's actually in the construction business, which was really helpful.
是的，我是在哥哥格雷格的幫助下獨自完成的。他實際上是做建筑生意的，這真的對我很有幫助。
Honestly, I'm impressed! I know I can probably repaint the walls in my house over a weekend or something,
說實話，這真的令我印象深刻！我知道我可以用一個周末或別的什么時候重新粉刷我房子的墻壁，
but not a full renovation. Where did you get your ideas? I wouldn't know where to start.
但不能完全翻新。話說你的靈感哪里來的？我都不知道從哪里開始著手。
Well, for a while now, I've been regularly buying home design magazines.
嗯，有一段時間，我經常買家居設計雜志。
Every now and then, I'd saved the pictures I liked.
我時不時地把喜歡的照片存起來。
Believe it or not, I have a full notebook of magazine pages.
說出來你可能不信，我有一本滿是雜志頁的筆記本。
Since by overall style was quite minimal, I thought and hoped a whole renovation wouldn't be too difficult. And sure enough, with Greg's help, it was very achievable.
由于整體風格是比較小的，我想但愿整個裝修不會太困難。果不其然，在格雷格的幫助下，這是非常可行的。
Wasn't it expensive? I have imagined a project like this could be.
不貴嗎？我也想象過像這樣的一個工程。
Actually, it was surprisingly affordable. I managed to sell a lot of my old furniture and put that extra money towards the new material.
實際上出人意料，完全負擔得起。我設法賣掉了許多舊家具，把多余的錢用在新材料上。
Greg was also able to get some discount materials from a recent project he was working on as well.
格雷格也能從他最近的一個項目中得到一些折扣材料。
Great! If you don't mind, I'd like to pick your brain a bit more.
太好了！如果你不介意的話，我想向你請教下。
Johansson and I are thinking of renovating our sitting room, not the whole house, not yet anyway.
約翰森和我正在考慮裝修我們的起居室，而不是整個房子，反正現在還沒有。
And we'd love to get some inspiration from your experience.
我們很想從你的經歷中得到一些啟發。
