9. 中國人現在住在哪種房子里面?政府應當如何改善人民的住房條件?
As science and technology grows,the houses Chinese people live in have changed quite a lot. More than twenty years ago,most Chinese people lived in single-story houses with small yards. Nowadays, they live in well-equipped apartments in tall buildings with air-conditioning and central heating. A few rich people have villas in the suburb. They choose to live in two-story houses with enough rooms to share with their families. People live in the countryside have more living space,and they usually have large yards and gardens. But we can see there are also some people who still live in shabby one-story house since, you know,they can't afford to buy the flat big enough to house the whole family; however this is not the main stream,and the government is making every effort to improve people's housing conditions. In my opinion, the government should offer sufficient funds to build more economical house.
隨著科技發展,中國人住的房子發生了很大改變。二十多年前,大多數中國人住在有小院子的平房里面。現如今,他們住在設備很好的大樓公 寓房間,里面有空調及中央暖氣系統。少數富人在郊區擁有別墅。他們選擇住在兩層的房子里以便有足夠的房間與他們的家人住在一起。農村居民有更多的生活空間,而且他們通常有大院子和花園。但是我們還是能看到有些人仍住在破舊的小平房里面,你知道,因為他們買不起住下一整家人的公寓房;然而這不是主流,而且政府正在盡一切努力來改善人民的住房條件。在我看來,政府應當提供足夠的資金建造更多經濟的房子。
10. What kind of houses do Chinese people like to live in? What do you think of this kind of house?
10. 中國人喜歡住在哪種房子里?你認為這種房子怎么樣?
A couple with one child usually like to live in a large apartment with three rooms, two of which can be used as bedrooms,and another one can be used as a study. What's more,in such an apartment, there should be a separate bathroom,a kitchen and a parlor. Besides,people would like to choose a living place near both their own working unit and a good school in order that their children can enjoy high-quality education. I think it's good and comfortable to live in large apartments. However,if we live in this kind of house, we'11 spend more money and energy on it,since we'11 pay more for the purchase and maintenance ,and it'll also take us more time to do the cleaning.
一對夫妻帶一個孩子通常喜歡住在一個有三居室的大公寓房間里,其中兩間可以作為臥室,另外一間則被當作書房。此外,在這種公寓里,應有一個獨立的浴室、廚房和客廳。而且,人們想要選擇住的地方既要臨近他們的工作單位也要有一所好學校以便孩子能得到高質量的教育。我認為住在大的公寓房里很舒適。然而,如果我們住在這種房子里,我們得花更多的錢和精力在上面,我們要花更多的錢交租金以及保養,而且打掃也要占很多的時間。
