ESL杰夫的一天 第98期:休息 邮件和垃圾(1)

 With the dinner dishes done, my wife and I each sit down on the couch to chill out and watch the national news which comes on at 6:30.  由于晚餐餐具洗好擦干了，我和我妻子坐在沙发上歇息，并观看6:30开播的国内新闻。

During the newscast, I sort through the day's mail.  新闻播送期间，我整理了一下白天的邮件。

Most of it is junk mail and bills.  其中大部分都是垃圾邮件和账单。

There are also several fliers for houses for sale in the area.  还有一些该区域的售房传单。

I check the front stoop and see that there are no packages. 我查看了一下房子前面的门廊发现没有包裹。

I like to watch TV and my wife likes to watch reality shows.  我喜欢看电视，我妻子喜欢看真人秀节目。

One thing I hate is having to watch all of the commercials, so I turn the sound down when they come on.  我讨厌的一件事就是要看那些广告，所以当它们出现时我便把音量调小。

After the show is over, I thumb through the latest issue of the Atlantic Monthly, while my wife reads a novel by her favorite mystery writer. 节目结束之后，我翻看最新一期的《大西洋月刊》，而我妻子读她最喜欢的推理作家的小说。

At around 9, I remember that tomorrow is trash day, so I take the kitchen garbage out and dump the recycling bins¹ as well.  9点左右，我想起了明天是倒垃圾的日子，因此我把厨房垃圾拿出去并倒掉回收箱。

I roll the trash container out to the street ready for the garbage trucks, which come by early in the morning. 我把垃圾箱推到了大街上，好让一大早来的垃圾车拉走。
