This is flat number five, Li. I'm happy you came along to help me find a nice place to live.
莉,这是五号公寓。我很高兴你过来帮我找好的居住地。
Renting a new place is a big step, Finn.
芬恩,租新公寓是个重大的决定。
This one looks good. Look here. Big windows, lots of light coming in. Isn't it nice?
这间公寓看起来不错。看看这里。这么大的窗户,有很多光线可以照射进来。是不是很棒?
Yeah. It's good but…
是。是很好,但是……
It's been painted recently.
这间公寓近期刚粉刷过。
Look, the wooden floor is lovely!
看啊,那个木门多可爱啊!
Yes, you're right, it's lovely but… Li… there's not enough room to swing a cat!
是,你说得对,是很可爱,但是,莉……这里太狭小了,连转身的地方都不够!
A cat? Are you sure? No problem. I saw one outside. I'll be back in a minute.
一只猫?你确定吗?没问题。我刚在外面看到了一只。我马上就回来。
Li, what is this?!
莉,这是什么?
It's a cat, Finn.
芬恩,是只猫。
I didn't know you liked swinging cats around, but… well, this cat was just outside and you can try swinging it! Just be gentle with it.
我不知道你喜欢晃动猫咪,不过……嗯,这只猫刚刚就在外面,你可以试着摇摆它!你要对它温柔点。
No, Li. I don't swing cats.
不是,莉。我并不是要摇摆猫。
In English, you use the expression 'there's not enough room to swing a cat' when you want to say a place is much too small.
在英语中,你用there's not enough room to swing a cat这个表达该来来形容一个地方非常小。
What a relief!
真是松了口气!
