So that air conditioner no longer works, so I'm going to bring it to the dump, and I have a few other things that I need to bring to the dump as well.

那臺空調已經不能用了，所以我要把它帶到垃圾場去，我還有其他一些東西也要帶到垃圾場去。

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。

程度副詞

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。

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。

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。

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。

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。

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？

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

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.

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。

我買了一些丙烷罐和一個油漆罐。

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。

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。

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。

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。

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。

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.

This is where you would bring scrap metal.

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。

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。
