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——聽起來像一個(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起來有點(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能來將浮在巴爾的庫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，拖走。修建這個(gè)“垃圾先生”耗資72萬美元。

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.

官員們沒有拒絕呢?盡管這些錢不是來源于受賄資金，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”讓清潔變得簡單。

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

那些說話我的雙關(guān)語都不怎么樣的，這可有證據(jù)哦~
