Hey, Joey, how do you like the washing machine you bought last weekend? |
Joey: |
Oh~ Perfect! It’s hard to imagine life without a good washing machine! What about your fridge? |
Hope: |
It goes well. And most importantly, it is quiet and it is energy-efficient and eco-friendly. |
Joey: |
Eco-friendly 我知道是環保,and energy-efficient 是節能省電嗎? |
Hope: |
Correct. More and more people nowadays care about the issue. Hey, Joey, have you got any appliances that you think like an energy hog? |
Joey: |
An energy hog? |
Hope: |
Yes, appliances that use too much electricity. |
Joey: |
Oh! An energy hog! …Hmm, let me think…there is one. My electricity fan.I think it is just too old…and a microwave oven, 我家的微波爐, is old too. There is a tumble dryer, 滾筒乾衣機. I think it uses lots of electricity. |
Hope: |
What about some appliances that you or your family have bought and you find them useless? |
Joey: |
Wow! There are quite many. I have a 縫紉機 and I only use it once. |
Hope: |
A sewing machine? You only use it once? Anything else? |
Joey: |
Ah~電玩主機和控制器。 |
Hope: |
A video game console and its video game controller. |
Joey: |
There is 鬆餅機 and 氣炸鍋 |
Hope: |
A waffle maker and an air Fryer. |
Joey: |
A waffle maker and an air Fryer. That’s right. Oh, there is also a blender in my kitchen and a toaster, too. I hardly use them often because I always grab my breakfast at a convenience store. What about you, Hope? |
Hope: |
I think in my house, I don’t really need an oven. I hardly use it because I don’t know how to make any cookies or bread. |
Joey: |
對了, Hope, How do you say “掃地機器人” in English? |
Hope: |
You can just call its brand name or a robotic vacuum. |
Joey: |
I think it is really convenient to have a robotic vacuum to clean the floor for you. |
Hope: |
I couldn’t agree more. |
