2--We need to redo the curtains and paint all the walls and ceilings.
1--I'm the painter. You can be in charge of going to curtain shops to choose curtains. That will probably be pretty expensive too. Having good curtains made isn't cheap.
2--You mean we can't just buy curtains already made?
1--Absolutely not. The windows must be measured, and then the curtains need to be made professionally. So that will take awhile. Maybe a month or so.
2--While the curtains are being made, I can start having people look at the kitchen. I can't stand that old kitchen. I won't be able to cook there. I don't want to use that electric stove.
1--We need to find an interior decorating company to redecorate the kitchen. I believe in Portland there are shops that specialize in kitchen renovation. I will look in the Yellow Pages. I'd like a kitchen mostly in ivory and light green.
2--I agree. The colors must be soft and pleasant. You should feel comfortable when you cook our dinners.
1--Me? Cook our dinners? Hah! You will be cooking, dear. You will cook.
2--No, I don't think so. I'll be too busy having tea in our new tea room.
1--Well, I suppose we'll have to hire a cook then. So you won't be able to afford any clothes next year.
2--And you'll have to sell your motorcycle. And your cameras. Right?
1--Maybe I'll cook once or twice a week. How is that?
2--Four times might be enough. Not once or twice.

译文：
1--地板弄完，家具放好后我们还要做什么呢？
2--我们需要重做窗帘和油漆所有的墙壁及天花板。
1--我是油漆工，你可以负责去窗帘店挑窗帘。那可能也会很贵，要订做好的窗帘不可能便宜。
2--你是说我们不能买成品窗帘？
1--绝对不行。必须先量好这些窗户，再特地制作窗帘，这可能会花上一段时问，也许要一个月左右。
2--做窗帘期间，我可以开始请人来勘查厨房。我受不了那个老旧的厨房，我没法在里面烹煮东西，我不想用那个电炉。
1--我们需要找一家室内装潢公司来整修厨房。我相信在波特兰会有一些专门整修厨房的店，我会翻一下黄页。我想要一间大部分是象牙色和浅绿色的厨房。
2--我同意。颜色必须柔和愉悦，做饭时你要觉得舒服才好。
1--我？做饭？哈，亲爱的，你才要煮，你煮啦。
2--不，我不认为。我会在新的茶室忙着品茶。
1--好吧，我想我们请个厨子好了。那你明年就买不起任何衣服了。
2--而且你必须卖掉你的摩托车，还有你的摄影机，是不是？
1--也许我一周煮饭一两次，怎么样？
2--四次才够，不只是一两次。
