''nice''
的用法值得注意：
大家都知道
''nice
and +
adj.
''
表示强调，如：
The house seemed nice and tidy.
（房子里好像很干净。）
The weather is nice and warm.
（天气很暖和。）
注意：这时的
''nice
and +
adj.
''
放在系动词后面；如果
''nice and +
adj.
''
放在名词前面，就不能再加
''and''
了。
例：
a nice long holiday
（很长的假期）
a nice new car
（很新的汽车）
a nice hot drink
（很烫的饮料）
以及剧中的
''a nice new
coffeemaker''
。

Here's why I should get the place. You and Lily, you

two roommates. And
on top of that
I could be homeless. Does that seem
fair?
