　　1.Wrap Dresser Drawers

　　用梳妆台抽屉打包

　　Dressers are heavy and taking out the drawers is a must. This necessity means that you now have extra space being taken up by empty drawers. Putting your drawers to work is one of the first steps in reducing packing time. Instead of transferring items from your dresser into a box take the drawer out and wrap it in plastic wrap. Remove the knobs and store them somewhere safe to prevent any damage. Although normal plastic wrap will do, the Press ‘n’ Seal brand will keep things from slipping through the cracks.

　　2.Plastic Bags and Hangers⁵

　　塑料袋和衣架

　　Taking clothes off of hangers, folding them, putting them in a box, and then rehanging them at your new residence creates too much unnecessary work. Instead cover as many pieces of clothing as you can with a single trash bag. Separate a handful of clothing from the rest of your closet but leave it on the bar. Place the bottom of the clothing into the trash bag and continue up. At the hook of the hanger⁴ tie the trash bag and don’t forget to double knot. If your move is long and has many parts to it wrap the sections hooks together with masking tape to add extra security.

　　从衣架上拿下衣服，叠好，放在一个盒子，然后在你的新住宅重新挂起它们会产生过多不必要的工作。不要用一个袋子装尽可能多的衣服。从你的衣柜中拿出少许衣服，而把它留在柜台上。把衣服的底部放入垃圾袋，并继续。把袋子挂在衣架上的挂钩上，别忘了双结。如果你的移动路程很长，并且有许多部分的话，用胶带包裹这些部分来增加额外的安全性。

　　3.Utilize⁶ Suitcases

　　利用手提箱

　　Suitcases are not just for traveling but moving as well. Rather than just packing them empty with the rest of your belongings⁷, use them as packing containers. The rolling feature makes them ideal for carrying heavy items as well as the perfect material to protect your clothing. Fill the bottom of the suitcase with books or heavier items and place clothes on top to protect and utilize space. Jeans and pants work the best as they can be heavy when put all together.

　　手提箱不仅适合旅游也适合搬家。不是只用你其它的东西装满它们，用它们作为包装容器。它们滚动功能使它们能完美携带重型物品，以及作为保护你的衣服的完美材料。在手提箱底部装满书或较重的物品，把衣服放在顶部以保护和利用空间。牛仔裤和裤子工作是最佳的，因为它们在放一起时可以很重。

　　4.Separate Clothes and Shoes

　　分开衣服和鞋子

　　Packing shoes and clothes together while moving is definitely a bad idea. Shoes can be dirty or smelly and rub off on the clothing making extra work to wash all your items. If you have managed to keep your shoe boxes then simply place each pair back where they belong and pack them all in a giant box. If you, like many people, have thrown out your shoe boxes then placing your shoes in a box all to themselves is a good plan. Wrap pairs of shoes with special materials, decorations, or dirt in plastic grocery bags to keep them from sustaining damage or messing up others.

　　在搬家时把鞋子和衣服打包在一起是一个坏主意。鞋子可以是脏的或有臭味的，并且在蹭在衣服上，你需要做额外的工作来清洗你的所有物品。如果你设法留住你的鞋盒子，并把每双鞋放在它们本来的盒子里，最终再把它们都放在一个大盒子里。如果你和许多人一样，把你的鞋盒扔了，然后把你的鞋子放在一个盒子里，这些都是很好的计划。用特殊材料、鞋饰、或无污染的塑料购物袋包裹鞋子让它们远离持续损害或弄脏别人。

　　5.Use Storage Bags

　　使用储物袋

　　Lastly, don’t forget about storage bags. As cheesy as they seem packing clothing in a plastic bag and sucking the air out can actually be very useful for moving. These bags are waterproof⁸ and will keep your clothing dry and secure. If you have lots of accessories storage bags work great as well. Scarves, gloves, and hats can all be shrunk down to fit where you need them to go.

　　最后，别忘了储物袋。虽然把衣物收拾在塑料袋并吸出其中的空气会有些俗气，但它们对于搬家真的很有用。这些袋子都是防水的，能保持你的义务干燥和安全。如果你有很多配件，那储物袋也会很有用。围巾、手套和帽子都可以缩小到适合你带到需要的地方。

　　When moving it’s important to remind yourself that sometimes it’s not about the journey but the destination. By planning ahead and finding the best tips for your move you’re bound to have a smooth and easy transition. Don’t forget to plan for downtime to recuperate⁹ and remember that it’s always better to start earlier rather than later.

　　当移动时，有时提醒你这无关旅途而是与目的地相关很重要。通过事先计划，并找到你搬家的最佳的提示，你必然会有一个平稳和容易的过渡。别忘了修养恢复，并记住早点儿开始总是比晚点儿开始要好。
