Feng Shui Heaven 風水好不好？ 2
Anna: |
Well, that’s part of it. Basically, feng shui is about the relationship between houses and their
1)surroundings. |
|
Rick: |
You mean like what direction a house faces? |
|
Anna: |
Yeah—things like location and 2)lot
3)placement. And no 4)sloping land behind the house! |
|
Rick: |
OK. This house has no slope. |
|
Anna: |
But look—when you open the front door, you see a wall. |
|
Rick: |
Not good for energy flow? |
|
Anna: |
Oh, you have good 5)instincts! And see the backyard? It’s half the size of the front. It’s better if the backyard is bigger. |
|
Rick: |
Interesting. |
| 安娜∶ |
那是其中一部份。基本上，風水是房屋與周遭環境之間的關系。 |
|
瑞克∶ |
你指的是例如房屋面朝哪個方向？ |
|
安娜∶ |
對，像是位置和地位置。而且房子後面不能有斜坡地！ |
|
瑞克∶ |
好。這間房子沒有斜坡。 |
|
安娜∶ |
但你看，一打開前門時，你看到的是一面墻。 |
|
瑞克∶ |
不利氣的流動？ |
|
安娜∶ |
喔，你很有天分！看到後院了嗎？它比前院小了一半。後院最好比較大。 |
|
瑞克∶ |
很有趣。 |
