bIt’s not that bad, besides it really looks nice in that corner. It gives the room a good atmosphere.

aA good atmosphere? The tree is falling apart, and it’s messing up the room.
好气氛?圣诞树都七零八落了,还使房间里乱糟糟的。
bBut it makes the place feel so much like Christmas. I’d really hate to have to take it down.

aBut Christmas was two weeks ago! It’s been there only because we’ve been too busy to get rid of it.
但是圣诞节已经过去两个星期了。它还留在那是因为我们一直太忙,没有时间清理它。
bI know, but it seems like such a shame to have to take it away.
我知道,但是拿走它似乎是个遗憾。
aBut it’s falling apart, and the cat keeps playing with the lower branches.
但是它正变得七零八落,猫还总是玩弄下面的树枝。
bI know, I know. But it reminds me of the great Christmas we just had. All of us were here -- my parents, your parents, the kids, and the cousins -- the food was good, and everybody got what they wanted.
