One of the books that I have recently read is called At Home: A Short history of Private Life by an author called Bill Bryson. It is a thick, factual book about many different subjects. It is really a collection of information and anecdotes related to our private lives, past and present.
我最近读到的一本书叫做《家：比尔布莱森的短篇私人生活史》。这是一本关于许多不同主题的厚而真实的书。它实际上是一个关于我们的私人生活，过去和现在的信息和轶事的集合。
The book is mainly about things that have been included in our homes over the centuries. The author started out by wondering about the history of everything in his own home. As it is a factual book rather than a novel, it does not have a plot as such. Each chapter in the book covers the history of a particular room. For example, the chapter on the kitchen talks about the history of running water, electricity, gas cooking and so on. The chapter about the bathroom looks at the history of plumbing, sanitation and privacy. The book contains so much interesting information that I think I will have to read it again in order to take it all in.
这本书主要讲的是几个世纪以来我们家的东西。作者一开始就对自己家里所有事情的历史都感到好奇。由于它是一本事实性的书，而不是一本小说，所以它没有这样的情节。书中的每一章都涵盖了某一特定房间的历史。例如，厨房的那一章讲的是自来水、电、煤气烹饪等历史。关于浴室的那一章回顾了管道、卫生设施和隐私的历史。这本书包含了很多有趣的信息，我想我还得再读一遍才能把它全部读完。
As to the kind of people who would enjoy It, I think anybody who IS interested in history and enjoys learning lots of interesting facts would enjoy reading this book. It would also appeal to a busy person, as it is a good book to dip in and out of, because you don't have to follow a story, as you would with a novel. You can just take it chapter by chapter, or even page by page, as there is something to learn on every page. Each chapter is written like a story, even though it is a factual book, so it takes the reader to all sorts of unexpected places, and for me it was a real page-turner.
对于那些喜欢它的人来说，我认为任何对历史感兴趣并且喜欢学习很多有趣的事实的人都会喜欢读这本书。它也会吸引一个忙碌的人，因为这是一本很好的书，因为你不需要跟着一个故事走，就像你在小说里那样。你可以把它一章一章，甚至一页一页地看一看，因为每一页都有一些东西需要学习。每一章都写得像个故事，尽管它是一本真实的书，所以它把读者带到各种各样意想不到的地方，对我来说，这是一本真正引人入胜的书。
I like this book because I learned such a huge amount from it, which has made me look around my own home with different eyes and appreciate just how far we have come in a short space of time in terms of architecture, technology, lighting, comfort and many other things.
我喜欢这本书，因为我从它中学到了很多东西，它让我用不同的眼光去看我自己的家，欣赏我们在建筑、技术、照明、舒适和其他许多事情上，在很短的时间内所取得的成就。
