整洁和邋遢!
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?
B：Oscar and I agreed that every time he leaves a big mess, I can fine him.
我和Oscar一致同意，每次他把房间弄得太乱，我可以罚款。
A：That seems kind of drastic, but maybe it works for you guys.
这听上去非常严厉，不过或许对你们男孩子来说管用。
B：Yeah, it keeps the place pretty clean.
是的，这样可以让我们的房间非常整洁。
A：Still, knowing Oscar, you must have had to fine him a lot.
不过，根据我对Oscar的了解，你肯定罚了他很多次。
B：Lets just say that my next vacation will be in Monte Carlo!
我只想说，我下一次度假想去蒙特卡罗。
