杰夫的一天 第106期：休息 郵件和垃圾講解(8)

A container is like a big box that you put something in, “A container”就是可以放東西進去的大箱子，

and so a trash container is a big, in my case, plastic box that has wheels that I can then put it down on the street. 因此，在我看來，垃圾箱就是個有輪子的大塑料箱，這樣我可以把它推到大街上。

You have to put your trash containers on the street. 你必須得把垃圾箱放到街上去。

Each container has a different color. 每個垃圾箱都有不同的顏色。

In my case, black is the color for trash; blue is the color for recycling trash, so newspapers, for example; 據(jù)我所知，黑色表示裝垃圾;藍色表示裝報紙這類的回收垃圾;

and green is where you put things like leaves and grass, things that you have in your — outside of your house that you want to get rid of, that are plants, that sort of thing. 而綠色表示裝樹葉和雜草這類的東西，也就是房子外面你不想要的東西，比如植物這類的東西。

I put the trash containers out on the street because the garbage trucks "come by early in the morning." 我把垃圾箱推到了大街上，因為垃圾車“早上來得很早。”

They come by, a two word verb, which means that they come to your house — they drive to your house. “They come by”，兩個字的動詞，意思是他們來到你的住處——他們開車來到你家。

And, in my neighborhood, they come by very early, so at six o'clock on Friday morning I can hear the trucks outside my window. 而且，在我家附近，他們來得非常早，因此周五早上的6點鐘我就會被窗戶外面的垃圾車吵醒。

I don't like it, but I need to have my trash taken away, so one day of the week I wake up early because I can hear the garbage trucks outside. 我不喜歡它，但我需要我的垃圾被拉走，因此一周里總有那么一天我醒得很早，因為我會被外面的垃圾車吵醒。
