我们刚刚搬进了一所新房子，我整整一个上午都在努力工作。
We have just moved into a new house and I have been working hard all morning.
我一直在努力把新房间整理好。
I have been trying to get my new room in order.
这件事一直不容易，因为我拥有一千多本书。
This has not been easy because I own over a thousand books.
更糟糕的是，房间相当小，所以我暂时把书都放在了地板上。
To make matters worse, the room is rather small, so I have temporarily put my books on the floor.
此刻，它们覆盖了地板的每一寸空间，我实际上不得不踩着书才能进出房间。
At the moment, they cover every inch of floor space and I actually have to walk on them to get in or out of the room.
不久前，我姐姐帮我把一个旧书柜搬上了楼梯。
A short while ago, my sister helped me to carry one of my old bookcases up the stairs.
她走进我的房间，当她看到地板上的所有那些书时，大吃了一惊。
She went into my room and got a big surprise when she saw all those books on the floor.
"这是我见过的最漂亮的地毯，"她说。
'This is the prettiest carpet I have ever seen,' she said.
她凝视了一会儿，然后补充说："你根本不需要书柜。你可以在空闲时坐在这里读地毯！"
She gazed at it for some time then added, 'You don't need bookcases at all. You can sit here in your spare time and read the carpet!'
