Alright, ladies and gentlemen. We’ve been hired to build a deck on this here house, and turn this boring and drab lawn into a backyard oasis. There is one catch, though. We’ve only got one day to finish this, so I’m gonna need everyone to give one hundred and ten percent today. It’s going to be tough, but we’ve got a great team here, and I know that together we can tackle this project. That being said, let’s get to work!

好了，各位先生女士。我们被雇来在这房子上建个露台，把这块单调乏味的草坪变成后院绿洲。不过有个条件：我们只有一天时间完成，所以我需要每个人都付出百分之一百一十的努力。会很辛苦，但我们有个很棒的团队，我知道齐心协力就能搞定这个项目。话不多说，开始干活！

That’s right. Now, remember, we’ve been over the plans, but we really need to make sure that everything is up to code. The home inspectors here are pretty thorough, so please make sure you follow the plans exactly. And remember the carpenter’s rule of thumb: measure twice and cut once.

没错。记住，计划我们讨论过了，但一定要确保所有都符合规范。这里的房屋检查员很仔细，所以请严格按照计划来。记住木匠的黄金法则：量两次，切一次。

Okay, guys. Let’s get at it. Bob! Pass me that hammer! The nails won’t go in; the wood is too hard. I think I’m gonna need the nail gun. That did it!

好了，伙计们，开始干吧。鲍勃！把那个锤子递给我！钉子钉不进去，木头太硬了。我想我得用钉枪了。搞定！

Do me a favor and help me cut this two-by-four, will ya? Pass me the circular saw, and grab hold of the end of the board. Now help me drill some holes in it so we can place the bolts.

帮我个忙，把这根二乘四的木头锯开，行吗？把圆锯递给我，然后抓住木板的那头。再帮我钻几个孔，好放螺栓。

I think you should sand the edges. Look at all these splinters, someone could get hurt. Geez...you gotta take pride in your work!

我觉得你应该磨一下边缘。看看这些毛刺，有人可能会受伤。天哪……你得为自己的工作感到自豪！

Yeah, you’re right. Pass me the sander and I’ll take care of it.

嗯，你说得对。把砂光机递给我，我来处理。

Julia! Get over here with the level, measuring tape and that box of screws!

朱莉娅！拿水平仪、卷尺和那盒螺丝过来！

Oh, no! Look out below!

哦，不！下面当心！
