起居室在英语中通常称作 "living room"。这个词来源于拉丁语 "vivus" 和 "rego"，意为 "生活" 和 "管理"。因此，起居室可以被视为是一个家庭的中心，是家人活动的主要场所。例如：

I like to relax in the living room after a long day at work.

We have a cozy living room where we can spend time together as a family.

The living room is where we entertain guests and host parties.
