本课您将学到:kick back(放松?腐败?),above all句型
家是一个极易引起联想的字,在美国人的心目中,它又有着什么样的地位呢?
Home. Few words in the English language have such a special meaning. Home is a place where you can relax, kick back and just be yourself. Just about everyone has a strong opinion of what makes a house a home. And for most people in America, home should be, above all, comfortable.
Americans like their homes to reflect their personal tastes(品位). Many do-it-yourselfers enjoy fixing up(为做出安排) their house and making it more livable. They often try to create a cozy(舒适的) atmosphere(气氛) so that when theyre at home, theyll really feel at home. Sofas and lounge chairs(趟椅) may be heavily padded and arranged in groupings conducive(有助的) to relaxed conversation.
Americans try to make the most of their space, too. The majority(大多数) of homes have built-in closets(橱柜) and shelves(架子), and people spare no pains(不遗余力) to add dressers, filing cabinets(档案柜) and closet organizers to maximize(使增加到最大限度) their storage(贮藏) space. Although keeping the house neat is often a constant battle, Americans feel its a battle worth fighting.
