CNN News: 垃圾輪

Mr. Trash Wheel -- sounds like a kid`s toy. And at first glance, it kind of looks like one. But though the name is trashy, its game is clean.

垃圾輪——聽(tīng)起來(lái)像一個(gè)小孩子的玩具。第一眼看到的時(shí)候，的確有點(diǎn)像。但是盡管它的名字似乎聽(tīng)起來(lái)有點(diǎn)小臟，但是其實(shí)這個(gè)游戲是很干凈的呢。

It uses the current of the Jones Falls River, plus solar power, to catch garbage floating downstream and keep it out of the Baltimore Harbor. It puts the litter in a dumpster barge and when that`s full, it switched out and towed away. Mr. Trash Wheel costs $720,000 to build.

它利用的是瓊斯瀑布的水流以及太陽(yáng)能來(lái)將浮在巴爾的庫(kù)港水面上的垃圾清理掉。它將收集的垃圾集中于一個(gè)放置垃圾的游艇上，當(dāng)這個(gè)垃圾游艇滿了之后，就會(huì)將其換出來(lái)，拖走。修建這個(gè)“垃圾先生”耗資72萬(wàn)美元。

Was that an offer officials couldn`t refuse? The money has gone to waste, so much has been thrown away, it`s all being used for dirty work, though it didn`t come from a slush fund. Mr. Trash Wheel makes cleaning up a de- breeze.

官員們沒(méi)有拒絕呢?盡管這些錢不是來(lái)源于受賄資金，因?yàn)槔速M(fèi)的錢，大被揮霍的錢都被用在了處理垃圾工作上，“垃圾輪”讓清潔變得簡(jiǎn)單。

And to all of you who`ve said my puns are trash -- well, there`s proof.

那些說(shuō)話我的雙關(guān)語(yǔ)都不怎么樣的，這可有證據(jù)哦~
