A new house

原文

I had a letter from my sister yesterday. She lives in Nigeria. In her letter, she said that she would come to England next year. If he comes, she will get a surprise. We are now living in a beautiful new house in the country. Work on it had begun before my sister left. The house was completed five months ago. In my letter, I told her that she could stay with us. The house had many large rooms and there is a lovely garden. It is a very modern house, so it looks strange to some people.

译文

我姐姐昨天给我来了一封信。她住在尼日利亚。在她的信中她说到她将明年来英格兰。如果她来的话，她将有一个大惊喜。我们现在住在一个非常漂亮的乡下新房子里。工程在我姐姐动身之前就已经动工。在5个月之前这栋房子竣工了。在我的回信中，我告诉她他可以和我们住在一起。这个房子有好多空房间还有一个漂亮的花园。这是一个很现在的房子，所以在有些人看来又点奇怪。这个肯定是唯一一栋现代的房子在这个地方。
