A container is like a big box that you put something in,
“A container”就是可以放东西进去的大箱子,
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,在我看来,垃圾箱就是个有轮子的大塑料箱,这样我可以把它推到大街上。
You have to put your trash containers on the street.
你必须得把垃圾箱放到街上去。
Each container has a different color.
每个垃圾箱都有不同的颜色。
In my case, black is the color for trash; blue is the color for recycling trash, so newspapers, for example;
据我所知,黑色表示装垃圾;蓝色表示装报纸这类的回收垃圾;
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.
而绿色表示装树叶和杂草这类的东西,也就是房子外面你不想要的东西,比如植物这类的东西。
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,因为垃圾车“早上来得很早。”
They come by, a two word verb, which means that they come to your house — they drive to your house.
“They come by”,两个字的动词,意思是他们来到你的住处——他们开车来到你家。
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,他们来得非常早,因此周五早上的6点钟我就会被窗户外面的垃圾车吵醒。
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.
我不喜欢它,但我需要我的垃圾被拉走,因此一周里总有那么一天我醒得很早,因为我会被外面的垃圾车吵醒。
