Topic: He’s my roommate.
Victor:Nancy今天我们来学一下roommate。
Nancy:He’s my roommate.
Victor:他就是我的室友。
Nancy:Technically this means you share a room, but we also use it for people who share a house or an apartment.
Victor:从广泛的意义上讲就是指你们两个住在一个房子里面,但是你们也可以讲住在一个公寓里面。
Nancy:You should actually say housemate, but every one says roommate.
Victor:当然你可以说housemate,但是最专业的词叫roommate。
Nancy: Victor,remember,in Western countries it’s very common for men and women to be roommates, but not boyfriends and girlfriends.
Victor:大家千万不要把roommates和boyfriends及girlfriends搞混。
Nancy:So, he’s my roommate.
Victor:He’s my roommate.
Nancy:Thanks for coming.
