Stop Littering
不要亂扔垃圾
The only thing I hate more than wasteful people are litterbugs.
唯一一個讓我覺得比浪費的人更可惡的就是垃圾蟲。
Litterbugs are my least favorite bug, and there are more than you'd think. If you've ever thrown even one piece of gum, paper, candy wrapper, cigarette butt, etc on the ground,you're a disgusting litterbug, and you should be ashamed of yourself.
垃圾蟲最讓我厭惡,而且永遠多的讓你數不清。如果你曾扔過一塊口香糖,一張紙、糖果包裝、煙蒂,那么你就是惡心的垃圾蟲。你應該感到恥辱。
There are over 7 billion people in the world –if each person only throws one "innocent"piece of garbage on the ground, that's 7 billion pieces of garbage littering a world in which nobody "did it".
世界上有超過70億的人——如果每個人都無意識的扔一點垃圾,那么全世界就會變成70億垃圾場,哪怕沒有罪魁禍首。
Your one decision makes a huge difference, and I will not allow you to blow it off and walk around with your head held high.
你的一個決定會產生深遠的影響,我不贊成你去大馬路大聲高呼。
You're a litterbug, and it needs tostop immediately. You don't get a life hack for this one, you filthy animal. Just stop –you already know how。
如果你是垃圾蟲,那么就需要馬上停止了,也許不會救命,但能讓你不那么惹人厭。停止這一舉動吧,你知道該怎么做的。
