Conversation Two
对话二
Oh, where are we going?
我们要去哪儿？
I want to show you something.
我想给你看些东西。
I know, but what is it?
我知道，但是关于什么的？
A farm. It's just down this road. It's a small place, but at least it would be our own.
一个农场，靠近公路那边，有点小但至少是属于我们的。
A farm? How can we afford to buy a farm?
农场？我们怎么买得起？
It isn't very large, only 40 acres. We wouldn't have to pay very much right now.
不是很大，只有40亩。我们现在不用急着付款。
Is there a house on the place?
那地方有房子住吗？
A small one, two bedrooms, but it needs to be fixed up a little. I can do the job myself.
有一个小房子，里面有两间卧室，但是有点小问题，需要修复一下。这个我能搞定。
OK. Is there enough space for a kitchen garden?
好的，那里有足够的地方做菜园吗？
There is about half an acre around the house. That's plenty of space.
有足够的空间。房子周围有半英亩地。
Then we can grow our own fresh vegetables. And maybe keep a few chickens, couldn't we?
我们可以种些蔬菜。也许还可以养一些鸡，不是吗？
Yes, and we can probably grow a lot of our own food.
是的，我们可以种很多粮食。
What are you thinking about growing, if we do take this place?
如果我们住那里，你想种什么？
Well, it really isn't big enough for corn. I thought we might try to raise a crop of potatoes.
那里应该没有足够的地方种玉米。我觉得我们可以尝试种土豆。
Potatoes? There are a lot of work.
土豆？工作量很大。
We are used to hard work, aren't we?
我们已经习惯辛苦工作了，不是吗？
Yes, we are, but the money. Do we have enough to get started? It seems like a dream.
是的，但是钱呢。我们的钱够吗？这像是做梦。
I think we've saved enough. We can pay a little on the farm and maybe put a few dollars down on the tractor, too.
我想，我们已经存够了。我们能支付农场的一小部分或许还能买一辆拖拉机。
