 You're looking at them, perhaps waiting in a doctor's office — in the waiting room of a doctor's office you thumb through the magazines. 或许在医院的候诊室里等待时,你会翻看杂志。


Well, I'm thumbing through the Atlantic Monthly 1, and my wife is reading a novel. 那个,我在翻看《大西洋月刊》,而我妻子在读小说。
A novel, "novel," is a fictional 2 book — a book that is not a true story. 小说(novel)是虚构类书籍——不是在讲真实故事的书籍。
"At around 9," that is at nine p.m., "I remember that tomorrow is trash day." “At around 9,”也就是晚上9点钟,“我想起了明天是倒垃圾的日子。”
Trash, "trash," is anything that you are getting rid of — that you are throwing out — that you don't want anymore, 垃圾(trash)是任何你想处理掉的东西——你要扔掉的东西——你不再想要的东西,
and trash day is the day that the garbage trucks come by and take the trash away. 垃圾日就是垃圾车过来把垃圾运走的日子。
Now, in Los Angeles we have a public trash service, 现在,在洛杉矶我们有一项公共垃圾服务,
so that the government has trucks that it sends out, and it picks up your trash — it takes your trash and puts it into the truck, and then takes it away. 所以市政府会派出垃圾车来收垃圾——它把你的垃圾倒进卡车里,然后运走。
That is trash day. 这就是垃圾日。
In my neighborhood it is on Fridays and every neighborhood is different, they do a different part of the city each day. 在我家附近,垃圾日是每周的星期五并且每个社区都是不相同的,因此他们每天都要对城市的不同区域进行清理垃圾。
