喬布斯與勞倫的愛(ài)巢
【英語(yǔ)原文】
The two-story house was made of red brick, with exposed wood beams and a shingle roof with curved lines; it evoked a rambling Cotswold cottage, or perhaps a home where a well-to-do Hobbit might have lived. The one Californian touch was a mission-style courtyard framed by the wings of the house. The two-story vaulted-ceiling living room was informal, with a floor of tile and terra-cotta. At one end was a large triangular window leading up to the peak of the ceiling; it had stained glass when Jobs bought it, as if it were a chapel, but he replaced it with clear glass. The other renovation he and Powell made was to expand the kitchen to include a wood-burning pizza oven and room for a long wooden table that would become the family’s primary gathering place. It was supposed to be a four-month renovation, but it took sixteen months because Jobs kept redoing the design. They also bought the small house behind them and razed it to make a backyard, which Powell turned into a beautiful natural garden filled with a profusion of seasonal flowers along with vegetables and herbs..(Chapter 20 A REGULAR GUY: A Family Home)www.Examw.com
【譯文】
這座兩層房屋由紅磚建造,木梁外露,屋頂鋪設(shè)木瓦板,呈流線狀。它讓人聯(lián)想起科茨沃爾德隨處可見(jiàn)的鄉(xiāng)間別墅,又或是某位殷實(shí)的霍比特人的家。房子的兩翼圍成了一個(gè)傳教士風(fēng)格的庭院,這讓人看出了一點(diǎn)加利福尼亞的風(fēng)格。兩層穹頂?shù)钠鹁邮也⒎侵幸?guī)中矩,它有著瓷磚和琉璃鋪設(shè)的地板,房間盡頭是塊巨大的三角窗戶直達(dá)天花板頂部。喬布斯買(mǎi)下這房子的時(shí)候,房間的窗子是彩繪玻璃的,如同小教堂一般。但他把窗子換成了透明玻璃。他和鮑威爾做的另一項(xiàng)改動(dòng)就是把廚房擴(kuò)大,擴(kuò)大后的廚房放得下燒木材的披薩烤爐,一張成為家庭首要聚會(huì)場(chǎng)合的大長(zhǎng)木桌。本來(lái)計(jì)劃4個(gè)月完成的改造因?yàn)閱滩妓沟牟粩嘈薷耐系搅?6個(gè)月之后才完成。喬布斯和鮑威爾還買(mǎi)下了屋后的小房子,在把它拆掉后他們弄出了一個(gè)后院。鮑威爾則將這后院變成了鮮花遍開(kāi),蔬草遍布的美麗植物園。
