Being Tidy and Messy 整洁和邋遢 A：It is beyond me how you and Oscar can be roommates. Youre very tidy and hes, well, a slob. 我真不明白你和Oscar怎么能成为室友的。你如此整洁，而他那么邋遢。 B：Its not always easy, but were making it work. 确实不容易，但是我们做到了。 A：Isnt Oscar really messy all the time? Whenever I see him, his clothes are rumpled and his hair is unkempt. 难道Oscar不是一直很邋遢吗?我每次见到他，都是衣服皱巴巴，头发乱蓬蓬的。 B：His room is really cluttered, but he keeps the common areas in passable condition. I do have to straighten up fairly often, and I sometimes have to pick up after him, but thats because Im pretty nitpicky. 他的房间确实乱七八糟，但是公共区域还是可以接受的。我确实需要经常清理，有时甚至跟在他后面收拾，但那是因为我很挑剔。 A：Thats very tolerant of you. 你太宽容了。 B：Well, we have set up a system so that if things get too messy, I have some recourse. 我们制定了规章制度，如果太乱了，我有追索权。 A：Really, whats your system? 你们的规章制度是什么呢? |
