environments Explanation: I think your hesitation may have had to do with using "environments" in the plural. So I gave it the acid test and searched for "environments+furnished" and got 177 hits for the plural. I wasn't aware of the use of this word in the plural, but it's definitly part of the jargon in the furniture industry. |

ambience, room Explanation: room quando for um lugar na casa ambience para a atmosfera, serve athmosfere, sem dúvida. Difícil achar um termo que inclua os dois conceitos em inglês! -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 16 hrs 43 mins (2004-05-16 15:36:49 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I\'ve found environment(s) in this very context, but mainly in not native sites, latin ones... it might be a justa a bad translation... |
