杰夫的一天 第14期：清潔講解(3)

The toilet, "toilet," is what you use to go to the bathroom—what you use to get rid of things from your body, we might say. 馬桶(toilet)，就是你去衛(wèi)生間會用到的東西——也就是你用來排泄的。

When you are done using the toilet, you then flush the toilet. 你用完馬桶后就需要沖馬桶。

The verb, to flush, "flush," is when you get rid of what's inside the toilet after you're done using it, usually with water. 動詞“沖”(flush)，就是當(dāng)你用完馬桶后，去除馬桶內(nèi)物的動作，一般是用水沖。

There is a tub in my bathroom. 我的衛(wèi)生間里有個浴缸。

A tub, “tub,” sometimes called a bathtub, is where you can take a bath. 浴缸(tub)，有時候稱為“bathtub”，是你洗澡的地方。

You can fill the tub up with water and you can get into the water. 你可以在浴缸里裝滿水并進(jìn)入水中。

"Anyway," I say in the story, "I turn on the lights." “不管怎樣”，我在這個故事里說到，“我打開燈。”

Notice the use of the word "anyway." 注意到用的這個詞“不管怎樣。”

It's very common in English to use that word when you want to get back to something you were talking about before. 當(dāng)你想回到你之前講過的事情時，英語中最常用到那個詞。

We can also say, “as I was saying,” it means something similar here. 我們還可以說，“正如我剛才所說的，”它在這里的意思與之相似。

"Anyway, I turn on the lights, and try to find the mouthwash in the medicine cabinet." “不管怎樣，我打開燈，在藥柜里翻尋漱口水。”
