A pretty carpet

原文

We have just moved into a new house and I have been working hard all morning. I have been trying to get my new room in order. This has not been easy because I own over a thousand books. To make matters worse, the room is rather small, so I have temporarily put my books on the floor. At the moment, they cover every inch of floor space and I actually have to walk on them to get in or out the room. A short while ago, my sister helped me to carry one of my old bookcase up the stairs. She went into my room and got a big surprise when she saw all those books on the floor. "This is the prettiest carpet I have ever seen," she said. She gazed at it for some time then added. "You don't need bookcase at all. You can sit here in your spare time and read the carpet!"

译文

我们刚刚搬了新家，我辛辛苦苦干一个上午。我试图将我房间整理顺当。但这个当然不容易因为我有超过1000本书。最糟糕的事，这个房间太小了，我只要无奈的把书暂时都放在地板上。过了一段时间之后，它们占满所有的地方，以至于我要跨过它们进进出出。不久之前，我的妹妹帮我通过楼梯将我的一个旧书架搬了上来。她进入房间看到地板上都是书感到很吃惊。“这个是见过的最漂亮的地毯了，”她说道。她看了一会继续说道。“你完全不需要书架了。你可以躺在这里度过你的自由时光，读你的地毯！”
