Lesson 168 Doing everything up

Lesson 168
Steven家住在京杭府26楼，家里视线非常好。Mary来到他家，发现窗外的景色特别好于是赞叹道：There's a wonderful view outside the window！Steven听了很高兴，问道：你家住的怎样？How is your home? Mary对他说：Our house is very old，We are going to spend a fortune doing every thing up。我们家的房子太旧了，我们打算花上一笔钱把它好好翻修一下。Spend是花费的意思，fortune是一大笔钱，是呀翻修住房确实是需要一大笔钱。She inherited a fortune from her father.她从她父亲那里继承了一大笔钱。He must earn an absolute fortune. 他一定能赚一大笔钱。doing every thing up是把每件事都做好的意思，那么用在房屋上就是翻修房屋了，对房子进行装修了。好，咱们再读一遍这句话。Our house is very old，We are going to spend a fortune doing every thing up。OK，今天就学到这里吧。So much for today，I’m Andy. Thanks for your listening. see you tomorrow。
