Being Tidy and Messy 整洁和邋遢

A:It is beyond me how you and Oscar can be roommates. You’re very tidy and he’s, 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:It’s not always easy, but we’re making it work.

确实不容易,但是我们做到了。

A:Isn’t 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 that’s because I’m 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:That’s 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, what’s 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:Let’s 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。
