小伙伴們，今天的你有沒有好好復(fù)習(xí)呢？下面，幫考網(wǎng)為大家準(zhǔn)備了一些關(guān)于托?？荚嚨牧?xí)題，供大家練習(xí)，希望能夠?qū)Υ蠹矣兴鶐椭?。一起來看?o:p>

In today`s class we`ll be examining some nineteenth-century pattern books that were used for building houses.

在今天的課上我們將審查一些十九世紀(jì)用來建造房屋的樣本手冊。

I think it`s fair to say that these pattern books were the most important influence on the design of North American houses during the nineteenth century.

我認(rèn)為公平來講，這些樣本手冊在十九世紀(jì)期間北美的房屋設(shè)計上有著最重要的影響。

This was because most people who wanted to build a house couldn`t afford to hire an architect.

這是因為大多數(shù)想要建造房屋的人雇不起(不能承擔(dān)雇傭)建筑師(的費用)

Instead, they bought a pattern book, picked out a plan, and took it to the builder.

取而代之，他們買一本樣本手冊，挑選一個計劃，然后把它拿給建筑者

The difference in cost was substantial.

費用的差異是很大的。

In 1870, for example, hiring an architect would`ve cost about a hundred dollars.

在十九世紀(jì)七十年代，舉例來說，雇一個建筑師應(yīng)該花費大約一百美金。

At the same time, a pattern book written by an architect cost only five dollars.

同時，一個建筑師寫的樣本手冊僅僅花費五美金。

At that price, it`s easy to see why pattern books were so popular.

在那種價位，很容易看出為什么樣本手冊是如此受歡迎。

Some are back in print again today, and of course they cost a lot more than they did a hundred years ago.

今天有一些又回頭出版了，當(dāng)然它們比一百年前要花費得多的多。

But they`re an invaluable resource for historians, and also for people who restore old houses.

但對歷史學(xué)家來說他們是一種無價的資源，同時對修復(fù)舊房子的人來說也是如此。

I have a modern reprint here that I`ll be passing around the room in a moment so that everyone can have a look.

我這里有一本當(dāng)代的再版，我將會在房間里傳遞一會兒以便每個人能看一眼。
