所以我們有一個問題要解決。我們需要新床，所以我們要把這個問題和

我們要做一個關於它的英語課，所以你要學習一些新的詞彙。

new phrases while we're on the streets of  New York City going furniture shopping.

當我們在紐約市的街道上購買傢俱時，新的短語。

There's so many different kinds of beds so we're  looking for a king, that's the biggest. Queen

is the next then full then twin. Now, there's  also something called a California King which

is also really big but the dimensions are kind of  different but today we're looking for king bed.

也是非常大的，但尺寸有點不同，但今天我們要找的是大床。

Are you thinking wood, metal, upholstered,  leather like what material are you thinking about?

你想的是木頭、金屬、軟墊、皮革，比如你想的是什麼材料？

Well, I'm thinking more about  upholstered which is unusual for me.

好吧，我更多考慮的是軟墊傢俱，這對我來說是不尋常的。

So, like what kind of fabric, you know  I love velvet. I love a good velvet.

那麼，像什麼樣的面料，你知道我喜歡天鵝絨。我喜歡好的天鵝絨。

是的。現在我也在那個我是那個區域。

Uhmhm, Okay. I was just thinking about the word  metal like the material. It's sort of a  

呃，好吧，我只是在想，金屬這個詞就像材料一樣。它是一種

tricky pronunciation that's a flap T and then  a dark L and it sounds just like this word:  

棘手的發音，是一個翻轉的T，然後是一個深色的L，聽起來就像這個詞。

meddle, which is a verb and it means to get into  and to get busy with someone else's business,  

meddle，這是一個動詞，它的意思是進入和忙於別人的事情。

things that don't concern you like I could say,  

與你無關的事情，比如我可以說。

“stop meddling in my life. You do not need to  know the details of my life. Stop meddling!”

"不要再插手我的生活了。你不需要知道我生活的細節。別再管閒事了！"

Alright, we're crossing Houston. In New York City,  the street is pronounced Houston but in Texas,  

好了，我們正在穿越休斯頓。在紐約市，這條街道的發音是休斯頓，但在德克薩斯州。

same spelling, big city is Houston. Now we're  heading there to the building with green spikes  

同樣的拼寫，大城市是休斯頓。現在我們正向那裡走去，前往有綠色尖頂的建築

on top. We're heading to the Crate and Barrels.  To head somewhere means to go in that direction,  

在上面。我們要去木箱和木桶店。  往某處走意味著往那個方向走。

that is your destination. We're  heading to the Crate and Barrel.

這就是你的目的地。我們要去Crate and Barrel。

Yeah, check there. And beds are upstairs.

是的，檢查那裡。而床在樓上。

Now, we are making a side stop at the  espresso machine spot because I decided  

現在，我們在濃縮咖啡機的地方做了一個側面的停留，因為我決定

it's what I want for my birthday. The question  is do you go with the big one that does lots  

這就是我想要的生日禮物。問題是，你是否會選擇一個能做很多事情的大機器？

of things or small one that's simple and  just does one thing well? Hard to decide!

還是一個簡單的、只做好一件事的小東西？很難決定!

In this video, you're going to hear  me use the phrase “head on in”,  

在這段視頻中，你會聽到我使用 "迎面而來 "這個短語。

Now, you said you didn't love the looks of it.  Seeing it in person, what do you think?

現在，你說你不喜歡它的外觀。  看到它本人，你覺得怎麼樣？

Shoot. Well then, I guess we're starting from  

scratch because that's what  I had narrowed it down to.

劃痕，因為這是我縮小範圍的結果。

This one, a little too bold for our taste  so you probably know bold, the font. If  

這個，對我們的口味來說有點太粗了，所以你可能知道黑體，這個字體。如果

something is bold like in style or color, it's  making a big statement, it's pretty different.  

有些東西是大膽的，比如在風格或顏色上，它是一個大的聲明，它是相當不同的。  

這張床對我們來說有點太大膽了。

This one less chunky, less bold, more subtle  than the metal one. I kind of like the warmth  

這幅畫沒有金屬畫那麼厚重，沒有那麼大膽，比金屬畫更微妙。我有點喜歡這種溫暖的感覺

of the wood color, what to you think? You were  thinking upholstered, this is not upholstered.

你覺得木頭的顏色怎麼樣？你在想軟墊，這不是軟墊。

I do kind of like the ones that have more of a  platform feel where this comes out of a few inches  

我確實有點喜歡那些有更多平臺感的產品，在那裡，這個產品會有幾英寸。

although there's sort of a  pain in the butt to make.

It's a maybe. We may choose it in  the end. Any bed that is a no is  

這是個也許。我們最後可能會選擇它。任何一張床都是否定的，是

one we're definitely going to eliminate  and when we finally find the one we like,  

一個我們肯定要淘汰的，當我們最終找到我們喜歡的那一個。

that's the one and the only  one that will be a yes.

這是一個也是唯一一個會被同意的人。

Upholstered has a bit of a wider frame to it.

Because of that flap T, the word  wider sounds just like this word,  

因為有了這個翻頁T，這個詞更廣泛聽起來就像這個詞。

Looks like they have various fabrics  we could choose from. Let's look.

看起來他們有各種面料，我們可以選擇。讓我們來看看。

This one does have different swatches available.

這款產品確實有不同的色塊可供選擇。

Alright, I'm open to it. I can't say  yes in the moment but I'm open to it.

好吧，我對它持開放態度。我不能在此刻說是，但我願意接受。

In addition to a bed, we  are looking for a mattress.

除了床之外，我們還在尋找一個床墊。

I think it would match the  style of the nightstands.

我想它會與床頭櫃的風格相匹配。

It's also nice. It's also got the metal  leg that that I think is a nice feature.

它也很好。它也有金屬腿，我認為這是一個很好的特點。

Okay. Not crazy about it. But  you're crazy about the boucle?

好的。不為它瘋狂。但你對花束很瘋狂？

Boucle, just like velvet is a kind of fabric.

絨布，就像天鵝絨是一種織物。

We already know we don't want all wood right?

我們已經知道我們不想要所有的木材，對嗎？

Alright. So, it's sort of between those two  

好的。所以，它是介於這兩種情況之間的

boucle ones. What? Now you're  looking at and you're wavering.

布洛克的。什麼？現在你在看，你在搖擺不定。

That looks sort of like the style of what  the vanity is going to be in the bathroom.

這看起來有點像浴室裡的盥洗臺的風格。

Yeah. But how is this going to look next to white  wood nightstands. I don't want to get new nightstands.

是的。但是，這和白色的木質床頭櫃放在一起怎麼看呢。我不想買新的床頭櫃。

I mean I love the dresser; I love the  nightstands but they're not what we have.

我的意思是我喜歡這個梳妝檯；我喜歡這個床頭櫃，但它們不是我們所擁有的。
