Lesson 23 A new house
新居

I had a letter from my sister yesterday. She lives in Nigeria.昨天我收到了姐姐的一封信,她住在尼日利亚。

In her letter, she said that she would come to England next year. If she comes, she will get a surprise. 在信中她说她明年将到英国来。如果她来了,她会感到非常惊奇了。

We are now living in a beautiful new house in the country. Work on it had begun before my sister left. 我们现在住在乡间的一栋漂亮的新住宅里。这栋房子在我姐姐离开之前就已动工了,

The house was completed five months ago. In my letter, I told her that she could stay with us. 是在5个月以前竣工的。我在信中告诉她,她可以和我们住在一起。

The house has many large rooms and there is a lovely garden. It is a very modern house, so it looks strange to some people. It must be the only modern house in the district. 这栋房子里有许多房间,还有一个漂亮的花园。它是一栋非常现代化的住宅,因此在有些人看来很古怪。它肯定是这个地区唯一的一栋现代化住宅。
