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.


垃圾轮——听起来像一个小孩子的玩具。第一眼看到的时候,的确有点像。但是尽管它的名字似乎听起来有点小脏,但是其实这个游戏是很干净的呢。


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 1 and when that`s full, it switched out and towed away. Mr. Trash Wheel costs $720,000 to build.


它利用的是琼斯瀑布的水流以及太阳能来将浮在巴尔的库港水面上的垃圾清理掉。它将收集的垃圾集中于一个放置垃圾的游艇上,当这个垃圾游艇满了之后,就会将其换出来,拖走。修建这个“垃圾先生”耗资72万美元。


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.


官员们没有拒绝呢?尽管这些钱不是来源于受贿资金,因为浪费的钱,大被挥霍的钱都被用在了处理垃圾工作上,“垃圾轮”让清洁变得简单。


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


那些说话我的双关语都不怎么样的,这可有证据哦~
