After Getting Home
Jane：Home at last. Tonight we have a lot of homework though.
Tom：Are you saying we don’t have time to watch our favorite show tonight? Jane, you know I really don’t like our teacher all that much. He gives far too much homework. He criticizes me in front of everyone all the time.
Jane：To tell the truth, I don’t really like him either. He’s kind of boring and not very active. He always looks unhappy too.
Tom：Yes, and he also…
Jane：Do you think we should be talking about him like this behind his back?
Tom：Probably not. After all he is our teacher. We should try to find something nice to say. If you can’t say something nice you shouldn’t say anything at all.
Jane：I absolutely agree. It’s getting dark. We should finish our homework now.
Tom： All right. I want to take a shower first, I’m exhausted.

簡：說實(shí)話，我也不是很喜歡他。他有點(diǎn)兒乏味而且一點(diǎn)兒也不活躍，看起來總是一副不開心的樣子。
湯姆：對啊，而且他還…
簡：你覺得我們應(yīng)該在背后這樣說他嗎？
湯姆：不應(yīng)該，畢竟他是我們的老師。我們應(yīng)該找點(diǎn)好的說。如果你不能說點(diǎn)好的，那就別說了。
簡：我完全贊成。天要黑了，我們還是先把功課做完吧。
湯姆：好吧。我想先沖個(gè)澡。累死了
起居室（drawing room）一詞的來源
通常，我們回家后，就會毫無顧忌地在起居室（drawing room）的沙發(fā)上躺下來，因?yàn)樵谕饷鎰诶哿艘惶?，回到家里終于可以放松放松（relax）了。
看到這里，大家不禁要問，“起居室”不是寫成“l(fā)iving room”或“sitting room”嗎？為什么還能寫成“drawing room”呢？
我們知道draw有“繪畫”的意思，但是“drawing room”（起居室）卻與藝術(shù)一點(diǎn)也不相干?！癲rawing room”是指“接待客人的房間”，也就是“客廳”或“起居室”，其英文解釋是“a room, especially a large room in a large house, where people sit and relax, or entertain guests”，它是一種比較正式的說法。
關(guān)于“drawing room”的來源，其背后有個(gè)小故事。“drawing room”這個(gè)詞源自于“withdrawing room”。在英國過去有個(gè)習(xí)慣，為了讓女士們不受男士“吞云吐霧”的吸煙之害，就要求她們在用餐后待在飯廳旁的另一個(gè)房間。也就是要求女士們從飯廳中“退出來”（withdraw），然后男士們就可以盡情地抽煙喝酒、高談闊論，而不受干擾了。
至于女士們所停留的那個(gè)房間，本來叫做“withdrawing room”，后來就約定俗成地寫成“drawing room”了。
