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.
或許在醫院的候診室里等待時,你會翻看雜志。
Well, I'm thumbing through the Atlantic Monthly, and my wife is reading a novel.
那個,我在翻看《大西洋月刊》,而我妻子在讀小說。
A novel, "novel," is a fictional book — a book that is not a true story.
小說(novel)是虛構類書籍——不是在講真實故事的書籍。
"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點鐘,“我想起了明天是倒垃圾的日子?!?/div>
Trash, "trash," is anything that you are getting rid of — that you are throwing out — that you don't want anymore, and trash day is the day that the garbage trucks come by and take the trash away.
垃圾(trash)是任何你想處理掉的東西——你要扔掉的東西——你不再想要的東西,垃圾日就是垃圾車過來把垃圾運走的日子。
Now, in Los Angeles we have a public trash service, 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.
現在,在洛杉磯我們有一項公共垃圾服務,所以市政府會派出垃圾車來收垃圾——它把你的垃圾倒進卡車里,然后運走。
That is trash day.
這就是垃圾日。
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個社區都是不相同的,因此他們每天都要對城市的不同區域進行清理垃圾。
