   A: How do you like your new roommate?


  A: 你喜欢你的新室友吗?
  B: He is an okay person. I like him.
  B: 我喜欢他。他这个人不错。
  "okay"、"all-right" 和 "decent" 都是指「不错的」的意思。通常用来形容人的时候, 有暗指和对方并不算熟识, 但大致上说来, 对方还算是个蛮不错的人。
  "okay" 还有一个用法是指一个东西的品质还可以(在可接受的范围内), 但不算非常非常好(excellent)。好比常常我们可能会因为预算的关系, 买了一个也许不是我们最想要的物品, 但总算是自己觉得还可以的。这时如果朋友问我们:「你买了什么样的电视啊?」(比方), 我们就可以在回答他们品牌后, 再补一句:"Well, it\'s not exactly my dream TV., but it\'s a decent one." (嗯, 虽然不算是我梦想中的电视, 不过也不错啦!)。要注意的是, 上面这个用法是用在形容「事物」的时候, 用"decent"来形容「人」时, 并没有暗示对方不是最好的意思喔!
