In Egypt, there's a city built entirely on garbage.

在埃及，有一座完全建在垃圾上的城市。

基礎被動語態

Just a short drive from the world's most popular tourist attraction lies a place where 14,000 tons of trash are dumped every day.

在距離世界上最受歡迎的旅遊勝地不遠的地方，每天有 1.4 萬噸垃圾被傾倒在這裡。

程度副詞

Here, residents have to move mountains of garbage just to survive.

在這裡，居民們為了生存不得不搬運堆積如山的垃圾。

With no clean water, unreliable electricity, and the constant threat of disease, life in this city is a daily battle.

沒有乾淨的水，電力不穩定，疾病的威脅無時無刻不在，這座城市的生活每天都在戰鬥。

But sometimes, one man's trash is another man's treasure.

但有時，一個人的垃圾就是另一個人的財富。

Because here, thousands of locals rely on collecting waste to support their families.

因為在這裡，成千上萬的當地人靠收集垃圾養家餬口。

And you won't believe the things they find.

And could you survive a day in this city?

Joining me on this adventure is Maged, a local guide from the community.

和我一起參加這次探險的是來自當地社區的導遊馬吉德。

One of my goals with him is to get access into someone's home and see their living conditions.

我和他在一起的目標之一就是進入別人的家，看看他們的生活條件。

And he said that we can try this later on.

他說，我們以後可以試試這個。

Also with us is my Egyptian friend, Passant, who's never been to Garbage City before.

和我們一起的還有我的埃及朋友帕桑特，他以前從沒來過垃圾城。

Growing up in Cairo, I was always like super, super overstimulated.

我在開羅長大，總是受到超級、超級過度的刺激。

Only in the last years that I started to appreciate its chaosness.

只是到了最近幾年，我才開始體會到它的混亂。

Just trying to grab my head around what we're seeing.

我只是想搞清楚我們看到了什麼。

I mean, we're just like, boom, we're here.

我的意思是，我們就像，嘣，我們在這裡。

Our office is like just 15 minutes right from here.

我們的辦公室離這裡只有 15 分鐘車程。

You never heard of this place until I messaged you?

在我給你發資訊之前，你從來沒聽說過這個地方？

I just never like decided to come and walk.

So all of the garbage here is collected from the city.

是以，這裡所有的垃圾都是從城市收集的。

Do people have a side business where if they find like things in the garbage and they want to sell them?

如果人們在垃圾中找到喜歡的東西，想把它們賣掉，他們會做副業嗎？

If you find any things like gold like this, garbage collector, please come.

如果你發現任何像這樣的金子，垃圾收集者，請過來。

Didn't know that they take recycling so seriously.

I mean, we barely even have separated trash like everywhere.

我的意思是，我們幾乎連垃圾都沒有分類，就像到處都是一樣。

But they're separating it manually, you know?

但他們是手動分離的，你知道嗎？

You know, they brought the cardboard to the factory down in town called Al-Azhar.

你知道，他們把紙板運到城裡一家叫 "愛資哈爾 "的工廠。

This is not like a storage to take this to the factory to recycle it.

這不像是要把它送到工廠回收的倉庫。

Everyone's just working diligently in this back corner with like millions of boxes.

每個人都兢兢業業地在後面的角落裡工作著，好像有幾百萬個箱子。

More than 90,000 people live in Garbage City, which is officially called Manishyat Naser.

垃圾城的正式名稱是 "馬尼什亞特-納賽爾"（Manishyat Naser），居住著 9 萬多人。

The people who live here are called the Zabaleen, who are mostly poor Christians who relocated here from Giza in the 1940s.

居住在這裡的人被稱為扎巴倫人，他們大多是 20 世紀 40 年代從吉薩遷居到這裡的貧窮基督徒。

Soon after that, the Zabaleen became Cairo's informal garbage collectors.

此後不久，扎巴倫人就成了開羅非正式的垃圾收集者。

Today, about 90% of them live in self-built homes, often in slum-like conditions.

如今，他們中約有 90% 的人居住在自建的房屋中，條件往往像貧民窟一樣。

They use donkey-pulled carts to collect trash across Cairo, bringing it back to sort at home.

他們用驢拉車在開羅各地收集垃圾，然後帶回家進行分類。

Children handle plastic, women manage cans, men focus on glass and metal, and they feed organic waste to pigs.

兒童處理塑膠，婦女管理易拉罐，男人專注於玻璃和金屬，他們還用有機廢物餵豬。

The Zabaleen recycle up to 85% of what they collect, which is much higher than the 25% average in Western countries.

扎巴倫人對收集到的物品進行回收利用的比例高達 85%，遠遠高於西方國家 25% 的平均水平。

但他們的生活方式正受到威脅。

Authorities in Cairo are in talks with big garbage companies to take over waste collection, putting their economy and lifestyle at risk.

開羅當局正在與大型垃圾處理公司談判，以接管垃圾收集工作，這將危及他們的經濟和生活方式。

Now, there are fears they might be relocated pushed further outside Cairo.

現在，人們擔心他們會被重新安置到開羅城外更遠的地方。

While I understand the need for formal waste management and disease control,

雖然我理解正規廢物管理和疾病控制的必要性、

I worry about what this means for the local people.

我擔心這對當地人民意味著什麼。

Bring the garbage in the first level, then they gather everything in the levels.

將垃圾帶入第一關，然後在各關收集所有東西。

Does everybody here work in garbage collecting? Everybody?

這裡每個人都從事垃圾收集工作嗎？每個人？

But about 20 years, some people, they bring machines to recycle plastic.

但大約 20 年前，有些人帶來了回收塑膠的機器。

I was going to ask you, are there a lot of sickness here because of trash?

我想問你，這裡有很多人因為垃圾而生病嗎？

I will give you some tap water to drink to top your Egyptian immunity.

我會給你一些自來水喝，以增強你的埃及免疫力。

It really does feel like everybody's working in garbage.

真的感覺每個人都在垃圾堆裡工作。

Like no one's doing anything else but collecting.

好像除了收集，沒人在做其他事。

And every single crack is filled with garbage.

This is how they transport things up to like the third and fourth floor.

他們就是這樣把東西運到三樓和四樓的。

他們只是把它放在這個滑輪系統上。

And they swing the bags up on a slack line.

他們用鬆弛的繩子把袋子吊起來。

Everywhere you look in this community, there's someone doing something in all their shops.

在這個社區裡，無論你走到哪裡，都會看到有人在自己的店鋪裡做著什麼。

這個人不知道從哪裡冒出來的。
