Hints:
exhaust fan
ventilation
Don't just call the police. That's what a lot of people do. So, that's a common complaint, loud music, but also sometimes we can have smells, or other things that disturb our senses.
Yeah, that's a tough one, that's really a sensitive situation,
because if you want to live in the comfort of your own home
and not have to deal with unpleasant smells, then your neighbor is just as entitled to cook whatever she likes in the comfort of her own home. So, I would approach her, by saying, I am not sure if you realize what's happening, but, you know, I can smell something coming from your kitchen,
would you mind opening your window or maybe using your exhaust fan. You try to approach them politely, reasonably,
and if that doesn't work, you can also just talk to the management, and maybe there is something wrong with the building's ventilation system. If something is coming into your apartment, that might be a quick fix without having that uncomfortable conversation.
不要輕易報警, 很多人都選擇報警。噪音問題的確很常見,但是有時我們也會遇到一些影響我們感官的的氣味問題或者其他問題。
是的,這是個棘手的問題,確實有敏感性狀況。因為如果你想在自己家里舒服地待著,不用遭遇難聞的氣味,而你的鄰居也有權(quán)在她家里做任何她想做的菜肴。所以,我會這么跟她說:“我不確定你是否注意到,但是我聞到你廚房好像有什么氣味,你介意打開窗戶,或者開啟排風(fēng)扇嗎?” 你可以試著禮貌,且合理的方式告訴你的鄰居,如果這樣行不通的話,你也可以跟管理人員反映,也許是樓房的通風(fēng)系統(tǒng)有問題。如果有什么氣味竄到你的公寓里,作為權(quán)宜之計,這樣就避免了一場不愉快的談話。
