A pretty carpet 漂亮的地毯
Wehave just moved into a new house and I have been working hard all morning. Ihave been trying to get my new room in order. This has not been easy because Iown over a thousand books. To make matters worse, theroom is rather small, so I have temporarily put mybooks on the floor. At the moment, they cover everyinch of floor space and I actually have to walk on them to get in or out of theroom. A short while ago, my sister helped me to carryone of my old bookcases up the stairs. She went into my room and got a bigsurprise when she saw all those books on the floor. This is the prettiestcarpet I have ever seen, she said. She gazed at it forsome time then added, You don t need bookcases at all.You can sit here in your spare time and read the carpet!

我们刚刚搬进一所新房子,我辛辛苦苦地干了整整一个上午。我试图把我的新房间收拾整齐,但这并不容易,因为我有1,000多本书。更糟糕的是房间还非常小,所以我暂时把书放在了地板上。这会儿,书把地板的每一点空隙都占据了,我实际上是踩着这些书进出房间的。几分钟前,我妹妹帮我把一个旧书橱抬上了楼。她走进我的房间,当她看到地板上的那些书时,大吃一惊。 这是我见过的最漂亮的地毯, 她说。她盯着 地毯 看了一会儿,又说: 你根本用不着书橱,空闲时你可以坐在这儿读地毯!
