Heating

It’s freezing in here! Can I turn up the heat?

这里冷死了！我能把暖气调高吗？

Don’t touch that thermostat! You don’t pay the bills around here!

别碰那个温控器！你又不用付这里的账单！

Dad! Are you serious? What’s the point of having central heating if we can’t use it! Look, I can see my breath!

爸！你是认真的吗？装了中央暖气却不让我们用，那有什么用！你看，我都能看到自己呼出的白气了！

Put on a sweater! I’m not gonna let you run up my heating bill just because it’s a bit chilly.

穿上毛衣！我不会因为有点冷就让你把我暖气费搞上去的。

Dad! I’m gonna catch a cold!

爸！我要感冒了！

When I was your age, my parents didn’t have central heating like you do! We had a furnace in the center of the living room and that was it. We used it to cook, heat the house and even dry our clothes! We never caught a cold. You should be grateful!

我像你这么大的时候，我爸妈可没有你们现在这样的中央暖气！我们客厅中间就一个炉子，就这样。我们用那个炉子做饭、取暖，甚至还烘干衣服！我们从没感冒过。你应该知足了！
