Houses and Apartments (2)

From the roof, we also had a nice view of the city skyline (this is another expression used when you can see something from a certain place). 从屋顶上，我们还可以欣赏到城市天际线的美景（这是从某个地方看到某些东西时使用的另一种表达方式）。

The apartment had recently been remodeled/renovated – meaning it was fixed up and improved – and was fully furnished,so it already had furniture (beds, tables, etc.) and appliances (refrigerator, stove, etc.) 该公寓最近进行了改造/翻新， 这意味着它被修复和改善了 • 家具齐全， 所以它已经有家具 （床， 桌子等） 和电器 （冰箱， 炉子等）

We loved the spacious living room (the room was big), but unfortunately thebedrooms were rather cramped (small and uncomfortable). It was nice to spend a month there, but by the end of the trip I started to feel homesick – that’s when you feel sad because you miss your life at home. 我们喜欢宽敞的客厅（房间很大），但不幸的是卧室相当狭窄（小而不舒服）。在那里呆上一个月真好，但旅行结束时，我开始想家了——那时你因为怀念家里的生活而感到悲伤。

I’d really like to have a place of my own so that I’m not throwing away money on rent every month, but there’s a real shortage of affordable housing (houses/apartments that are reasonably priced) in my city. 我真的很想有自己的地方，这样我就不会每个月都把钱丢在房租上，但是我城市里经济适用房（价格合理的房子/公寓）确实短缺。
