A: Oh, I don’t know if you heard, but someone moved into that old house down the road.
哦，我不知道你是否听说了，但是有人搬到路那头的那栋老房子里去了。
B: Yeah, I know. I met the owner of the house yesterday as he was moving in. His name is Armand.
是的,我知道。昨天我遇见了房子的主人，他正在搬进来。他的名字是阿尔芒。
A: Really? What’s he like? You have to fill me in.
真的吗?他喜欢什么?你得告诉我。
B: Actually, he’s a bit strange. I don’t know... I’ve got a bad feeling about him.
事实上，他有点奇怪。我不知道…我对他有一种不好的感觉。
A: Really? Why?
真的吗?为什么?
B: Well, yesterday I brought over a housewarming gift, but Armand started acting really weird, and then he practically kicked me out! I tried to, sort of, peek into his house, but everything was so dark inside that I couldn’t really get a good look.
嗯，昨天我带了一份乔迁礼物过来，但是阿尔芒开始表现得很奇怪，然后他真的把我赶出去了!我试着去看看他的房子，但是里面太黑了，我看不清楚。
