molly likes to spend time on decoration to make her home more pleasant.
莫莉很喜欢花时间装修房子让她的家更温馨。
molly: i think the whole house needs repainting. i'd like the rural style, which can bring some elements of nature. what about repainting the living—room in primrose yellow?
莫莉：我觉得整个房子都需要重新粉刷。我喜欢田园风格的，这样能给我们带来一些自然元素。你觉得把客厅刷成淡黄色怎么样？
king: great minds think alike. and we can also ask someone to draw a picture on the wall.
金：英雄所见略同。我们也可以找人来帮我们在墙上画一幅画。
molly: i think a crystal chandelier would look great in our living—room, and maybe some new curtains for the windows.
莫莉：在客厅里装一盏水晶吊灯会很漂亮，另外还需要一些新窗帘装饰窗户。
king: no problem. you can be in charge of going to curtain shops to choose curtains. having good curtains made isn't cheap.
金：没问题，你可以负责去窗帘店挑窗帘。要订做好的窗帘可不便宜。
molly: why can't we just buy curtains already made?
莫莉：为什么我们不能买已经做好的窗帘？
king: absolutely not. the windows must be measured, and then the curtains need to be made specially.
金：绝对不行。必须先量好这些窗户，再专门制做窗帘。
molly: ok, leave it to me.
莫莉：好，交给我吧。
king: perhaps we could buy some potted plants for the dining room. and i think it's better to paint the dining room in orange or yellow to increase our appetite.
金：也许我们可以买些盆栽装饰餐厅。我认为把餐厅粉刷成橙色或者黄色比较好，这样可以增加食欲。
molly: great! paint it orange, ok?
莫莉：这个主意太棒了！把餐厅刷成橙色怎么样？
king: i can't agree with you any more.
金：非常赞同。
