You have enough money to purchase either a house or a business. Which would you choose to buy? Give specific reasons to explain your choice.
你有足够的钱买房子或做生意。你会选择买哪个？请给出具体的理由来解释你的选择。
If I had enough money to buy either a house or a business, I'd buy a house. A business may succeed or fail. It's also possible I might change my mind about what I wanted to do in business. However, a home is a lifetime gift to myself.
如果我有足够的钱买房子或生意，我会买房子的。企业可能成功也可能失败。我也有可能改变我在生意上的想法。然而，家是我一生的礼物。
Right now I'm in small apartment, with barely enough room for everything. All my furniture and things I've accumulated since I left college barely fit. I have almost no closet space left. This means my clothes are always wrinkled because they're crushed together. I don't have any place to put my cleaning supplies, nor room for more than one set of sheets and towels. A new house would mean a lot more room for all these things.
现在我住在一个小公寓里，几乎没有足够的空间容纳一切。我大学毕业后积攒下来的家具和东西几乎都不合身。我几乎没有壁橱了。这意味着我的衣服总是起皱，因为它们被压碎了。我没有地方放清洁用品，也没有地方放一套以上的床单和毛巾。一栋新房子意味着有更多的空间来放置这些东西。
I love having plants around. It's very healthy for the air inside and it's cheerful to have living things growing in a room. I'd like to have a garden instead. That way I could grow a lot of different kinds of plants and flowers, and I could have a vegetable garden in the summer.
我喜欢周围有植物。室内空气很健康，室内有生物生长是令人愉快的。我想改用花园。这样我可以种很多不同种类的植物和花，夏天我可以有一个蔬菜园。
Besides having a garden, I'd like to have a backyard with lots of trees and a small fountain in the corner. I love watching birds and listening to them sing. On the windowsill of my apartment, I put out bird seed every morning. In the hot weather, I put out a shallow tin plate with water in it for birds. The trees and the fountain in my backyard would gibe me pleasure, but they'd really be for the birds. The trees would give them a place to nest, and the fountain would be a source of fresh water when it's hot.
除了有一个花园，我还想有一个后院，有很多树，角落里有一个小喷泉。我喜欢看鸟，听它们唱歌。在我公寓的窗台上，我每天早上都撒下鸟的种子。在炎热的天气里，我拿出一个装着水的浅铁皮盘子给鸟吃。我后院的树和喷泉会取笑我的快乐，但它们真的是为了鸟儿。树木会给它们一个筑巢的地方，喷泉会在热的时候成为淡水的来源。
Can you picture my dream house? A business would only give me money. A house would give me someplace special to be myself.
你能想象一下我梦寐以求的房子吗？做生意只会给我钱。房子会给我一个特别的地方做我自己
