Lesson 52

We have just moved into a new house and I have been working hard all morning.
我们刚刚搬进新家，整个上午都在努力工作。
I have been trying to get my new room in order.
我一直尝试让我的新房间井然有序。
This has not been easy because I own over a thousand books.
这并不容易，因为我拥有超过一千本书。
To make matters worse, the room is rather small, so I have temporarily put my books on the floor.
更糟糕的是，房间相当小，所以我暂时把书放在了地上。
At the moment, they cover every inch of floor space and I actually have to walk on them to get in or out of the room.
此刻，它们覆盖了每一寸地板，我实际上不得不踩在它们上面才能进出房间。
A short while ago, my sister helped me to carry one of my old bookcases up the stairs.
不久前，我的姐姐帮我把我的一个旧书柜搬上了楼。
She went into my room and got a big surprise when she saw all those books on the floor.
她走进我的房间，看到地上所有的书时，大吃一惊。
'This is the prettiest carpet I have ever seen,' she said.
“这是我见过的最漂亮的地毯，”她说道。
She gazed at it for some time then added, 'You don't need bookcases at all.
她凝视了它好一会儿，然后补充道：“你根本不需要书架。”
You can sit here in your spare time and read the carpet!'
你可以在空闲时间坐在这里读这块地毯！'
