So I thought, let's learn English at the dump.

所以我想，讓我們在垃圾場學英語吧。

So I just need to back up to the house to get a few more things, but as I do that I just want to explain that the dump is more than just a big hole in the ground.

所以，我只需要回到房子裡再拿幾樣東西，但在這之前，我只想解釋一下，垃圾場不僅僅是地上的一個大洞。

The reason I think it would be cool to do an English lesson at the dump is because the And there's even a little surprise right by the front gate of the dump.

我之所以覺得在垃圾場上英語課很酷，是因為垃圾場的正門旁邊還有一個小驚喜。

I think you'll like it.

我想你會喜歡的。

So I also have a couple of bags of old clothes that I'm not going to bring to the dump, but I'm going to bring them to the thrift store.

我還有幾袋舊衣服，我不打算把它們送到垃圾場，而是要把它們送到舊衣回收店。

A thrift store is a store that sells used items, including used clothing.

舊貨店是出售舊物品（包括舊衣服）的商店。

So instead of putting these in the dump, someone else will get a bit more use out of them.

與其把這些東西扔進垃圾堆，還不如讓別人來利用它們。

Well I think I'm ready to go.

我想我可以走了。

Are you ready to go?

準備好了嗎？

Let's go!

我們走吧

So I've used the word dump, but technically this is a waste management site, or sometimes we would call it a waste management facility, or maybe a landfill.

所以我用了垃圾場這個詞，但從技術上講，這裡是一個廢物管理場，有時我們會稱它為廢物管理設施，也可能是垃圾填埋場。

A dump is more than just a big hole in the ground, like I said.

如我所說，垃圾場不僅僅是地上的一個大洞。

It's a place where they sort things, and we try to recycle as much as possible.

這是一個分類的地方，我們儘量回收利用。

Some things do just go into the landfill.

有些東西只能扔進垃圾填埋場。

They do just go into a big hole in the ground, but many things will actually be recycled.

它們的確會被扔進一個大坑裡，但很多東西實際上會被回收利用。

So I call it the dump because that's what I called it as a kid, but it's really a waste management site.

所以我叫它垃圾場，因為我小時候就是這麼叫它的，但它其實是一個廢物處理場。

So I think this is a great idea.

我認為這是一個好主意。

At the entrance to the dump, there is a donor welcome center where you can donate things that are still good, and they'll later be sold in a thrift store.

在垃圾場的入口處，有一個捐贈者歡迎中心，您可以在這裡捐贈還算完好的物品，這些物品隨後會在一家舊貨店出售。

So I'm quite happy that this is here because things that might normally go in the landfill can now get used again.

我很高興能在這裡看到它，因為那些通常可能會被扔進垃圾填埋場的東西現在可以重新使用了。

Okay, so the next thing we need to do is we need to get weighed.

好了，接下來我們要做的就是稱重。

Not me, the van and everything that's in it needs to get weighed.

不是我，麵包車和車裡的所有東西都需要稱重。

So we'll be pulling up onto the scale.

所以，我們會拉到天平上。

Uh, Smithville?

史密斯維爾？

What do you have today?

你今天有什麼收穫？

I have an air conditioner and some electronics.

我有一臺空調和一些電子產品。

So for the air conditioner, hun, there is a $22 to recharge.

對於空調來說，hun，充電需要 22 美元。

Okay.

好的

There's just no weight associated, so it's just that $22 point, okay?

只是沒有相關的重量，所以只有那 22 美元，好嗎？

Okay.

好的

Okay, thank you.

好的，謝謝。

That always scares me.

這總是讓我害怕。

There's a loud bang when you pull off the scale.

拉下秤時，會發出一聲巨響。

So the first part of the dump I'm going to show you is the electronics recycling area.

我要向你們展示的垃圾場的第一部分是電子產品回收區。

This is a place where you can bring any kind of electronics, old computers, old radios, all of that kind of stuff.

在這裡，你可以帶來任何種類的電子產品、舊電腦、舊收音機等。

I'll show you a close-up of the image there.

我給你看一下那裡的影像特寫。

And there are two bins here that say electronics bin.

這裡有兩個垃圾桶，上面寫著電子產品垃圾桶。

So one section of the dump, the electronics recycling area.

垃圾場的一個區域是電子產品回收區。

So refrigerators, freezers, and air conditioners have CFCs in them.

冰箱、冰櫃和空調都含有氯氟化碳。

I'm not quite sure what those are, but I'll put it, I'll put the word up here and I'll give you a definition.

我不太清楚這些是什麼，但我會把它放在這裡，我會把這個詞放在這裡，我會給你一個定義。

They need to be put here so that that can be drained from them before they're properly recycled.

需要把它們放在這裡，以便在適當回收之前將其排出。

So this is where I'm going to put my air conditioner.

這就是我要放空調的地方。

Whew!

呼！

It's a little bit heavy.

有點重。

So the next part of the dump we're going to go to is the toxic waste drop-off area.

我們要去的下一個垃圾場是有毒廢物投放區。

So some things obviously can't go in a landfill because they are full of chemicals.

有些東西顯然不能扔進垃圾填埋場，因為它們充滿了化學物質。

I have like one old paint can and a few other small things.

我有一箇舊油漆罐和其他一些小東西。

Not a lot, but I'm going to go to this section here and we'll drop off those items.

不是很多，但我要去這個區域，把這些東西放下來。

Yeah, also called hazardous waste.

對，也叫危險廢物。

Hello.

你好

How are you?

你好嗎？

I got some propane cans and a paint can.

我買了一些丙烷罐和一個油漆罐。

You're in the right spot.

你來對地方了

Okay, let me pull forward.

好吧，讓我向前拉。

Thank you.

謝謝。

No problem.

沒問題。

Okay, we have one last area of the dump to go to and that is the main area of the dump where most household waste would go.

好了，我們還要去垃圾場的最後一個區域，那是垃圾場的主要區域，大部分生活垃圾都會被運到這裡。

You might be wondering though, why am I at the dump?

你可能會問，我為什麼會在垃圾場？

Doesn't my garbage or trash get picked up every week at the end of our driveway?

我的垃圾不是每週都會被運到車道盡頭嗎？

And it does actually, but this is more of a place where you can bring lots of stuff.

事實上也是如此，但這裡更像是一個可以帶很多東西的地方。

You know, when you clean out your house or you clean out a shed, sometimes it's nice just to load up a van or trailer and bring it somewhere.

你知道，當你清理房子或棚屋時，有時裝上一輛麵包車或拖車，把它們運到某個地方也不錯。

So that's why I'm at the dump today.

這就是我今天來垃圾場的原因。

But normally we would just put it in bags and put out, I think one bag a week right now, we're allowed to do.

但通常情況下，我們只是把它裝進袋子裡，然後放出去，我想現在一週一袋是允許的。

I just have one aquarium now.

我現在只有一個水族箱。

Garbage.

垃圾

Okay, thank you.

好的，謝謝。

Where is that?

在哪裡？

Go to the fourth one.

轉到第四個。

Okay, thank you.

好的，謝謝。

You're welcome.

不客氣。

And here we have a section for household garbage, no paint, oil or other hazardous materials.

這裡有一個生活垃圾區域，沒有油漆、油類或其他有害物質。

In this section, you will find anything that can't be recycled.

在這一部分，您可以找到任何無法回收的物品。

So even though we do try to recycle everything that we can, there are sometimes things that can't be recycled and this is the bin where they would go.

儘管我們盡力回收一切可以回收的東西，但有時有些東西是不能回收的，而這個垃圾桶就是它們的去處。

Okay, so this part of the dump is for wood only, no metal garbage or flooring.

好吧，這部分垃圾場只能堆放木材，不能堆放金屬垃圾或地板。

You can see in this bin here, in this dumpster, there's just a lot of wood.

你可以看到，在這個垃圾箱裡，有很多木頭。

You can bring wood from your house if maybe you're doing a renovation.

如果您正在進行裝修，您可以從家裡搬來木材。

You can bring branches or sticks.

您可以攜帶樹枝或木棍。

But this is where you would bring wood.

但這就是你要帶木頭的地方。

Unfortunately, tires don't last forever.

遺憾的是，輪胎並不是永遠耐用的。

I wish they did because the last set of tires I bought were quite expensive.

我希望他們能這樣做，因為我買的上一套輪胎相當昂貴。

But this is the area where you would bring your old tires.

不過，這裡就是你要帶舊輪胎的地方。

I'm not sure exactly what they do with old tires, but I'm sure they take them somewhere and probably chop them up and make something new out of them.

我不太清楚他們是怎麼處理舊輪胎的，但我肯定他們會把輪胎帶到某個地方，然後把它們切碎，再做成新的東西。

But if you have old tires, you bring them here and I think you have to pay to drop your tires off.

但如果你有舊輪胎，你可以把它們帶到這裡來，我想你必須付錢才能把輪胎放下來。

So in this area, you can recycle styrofoam and then you can also recycle any other containers.

在這一領域，你可以回收發泡膠，也可以回收任何其他容器。

So this is more like a traditional recycling area.

這裡更像是一個傳統的回收區。

Anything that we would put into a blue box, that's the color of the box that we use for our recycling, can go into this container.

我們可以把任何東西放進藍色的盒子裡，也就是我們用來回收的盒子的顏色，也可以放進這個容器裡。

So, if you have stuff that can be recycled, this is where you can bring it.

所以，如果你有可以回收的東西，就可以把它帶到這裡來。

And here is where you can put your cardboard.

這裡就是你可以放紙板的地方。

Must be flattened.

必須壓平。

I actually think this might be a spelling mistake, but I'm not 100% sure.

實際上，我認為這可能是一個拼寫錯誤，但我不能百分百肯定。

So if you have any cardboard, maybe you've bought a lot of things from Amazon and you don't know what to do with all of the cardboard boxes, you can bring them here and they can go in this bin.

所以，如果你有任何紙板，也許你從亞馬遜買了很多東西，不知道如何處理這些紙板箱，你可以把它們帶到這裡來，放到這個垃圾桶裡。

And these, again, will be recycled.

同樣，這些都將被回收利用。

All cardboard in Canada is recycled, as far as I know.

據我所知，加拿大的所有紙板都是回收的。

So if you have lots of it, this is where you would bring it.

所以，如果你有很多，就可以把它帶到這裡來。

And then, of course, you might have metal.

當然，還有金屬。

This is where you would bring scrap metal.

你可以把廢金屬運到這裡。

Scrap simply means the metal is not usable anymore.

廢料只是意味著這些金屬已經不能再用了。

No wood or plastic.

不使用木材或塑膠。

In this bin, they simply want scrap metal.

在這個垃圾箱裡，他們只想要廢金屬。

So if you have anything that's made out of metal, this is where you would bring it.

如果你有任何金屬製造的物品，都可以帶到這裡來。

So if you have bottles or cans, you can bring them here.

如果您有瓶子或罐子，可以帶到這裡來。

Bottles and cans can be recycled.

瓶子和罐子可以回收利用。

It actually looks like here you can return them for charity.

實際上，在這裡你似乎可以將它們退還給慈善機構。

That means somehow they get some money for all of these bottles and cans.

這意味著，他們可以通過某種方式從這些瓶瓶罐罐中獲得一些錢。

And a charity is an organization that does good things for other people.

慈善機構是一個為他人做好事的組織。

So they get the money from all of the bottles and cans that people have brought here.

他們從人們帶來的瓶瓶罐罐中獲得資金。

So if you have lots of bottles and cans, you can bring them right here.

如果您有很多瓶瓶罐罐，可以直接帶到這裡來。

So I'm not allowed back there, but way in the distance you can see large piles of what is actually compost.

所以我不能回去，但在遠處可以看到大堆的堆肥。

In my part of Ontario, Canada, you can put compost at the road and it will get picked up.

在我所在的加拿大安大略省，你可以把堆肥放在路邊，就會有人來收。

And it comes here to the waste management site.

然後運到這裡的廢物處理場。

So basically what they do is they take kitchen scraps, leaves, grass clippings, all of those kinds of things get mixed and turned a whole bunch of time.

他們所做的基本上就是把廚房下腳料、樹葉、草屑等所有這些東西混合在一起，然後再轉一圈。

And eventually it turns into really, really good compost.

最終，它變成了非常非常好的堆肥。

So I just have to weigh out and they'll tell me how much I owe.

所以我只需要稱一下體重，他們就會告訴我欠了多少錢。

Many things are free to drop off at the dump, but you do have to pay for some things.

很多東西都可以免費扔到垃圾場，但有些東西需要付費。

I think I have to pay for the air conditioner.

我想我得付空調費了。

There's a disposal fee.

有一筆處置費。

And then you pay sometimes by weight.

然後有時按重量付費。

So we'll see. 22 pence, sir.

我們走著瞧吧22便士，先生

That's for the air conditioner?

那是空調用的嗎？

Yeah.

是啊

Yeah, we'll do debit.

是的，我們會做借記。

Yeah, we didn't charge you weight, just the price of that.

是的，我們不收你的重量，只收那個的價格。

And could I get a receipt?

能給我一張收據嗎？

Absolutely.

當然可以。
