 　　Composting堆制肥料

　　Ron was excited to show his wife Debbie what he had bought at the home improvement store. Debbie, however, was not impressed when she saw the big, black plastic bin. She thought it was a garbage can. "We have a garbage can already. Why did you get another one?" Debbie asked. She seemed annoyed.

　　罗恩很高兴能在家里把他买的东西展现给给他妻子黛比看。然而，当她看到了大黑色塑料桶，她并无惊喜。她认为这是一个垃圾桶。”我们已经有了垃圾桶。你为什么要买一个呢？”黛比问。她似乎很生气。

　　Ron explained that it was not a garbage can. It was a compost bin. Ron explained that a compost bin was a place where they could put any organic waste, like fallen leaves, grass clippings, and fruit and vegetable peels. "Why can't we just throw that in the trash?" Debbie asked. She really didn't want extra work for herself.` Ron explained that it was good for the environment. About 30% of all the garbage in the United States is made up of waste from food and yards. Not only would they produce less garbage, they would also make compost, which was rich soil. It would help Debbie's flowers. She could have the beautiful garden she always dreamed of. Ron explained that little by little inside the bin, the food scraps and green waste would create a pile. The pile would naturally break down.

　　罗恩解释说，这不是一个垃圾桶，是一个堆肥箱。他又说，堆肥箱是一个能够装任何有机废物的东西，像落叶、草屑以及水果和蔬菜的皮。”为什么我们不能把垃圾扔到垃圾桶里？”黛比问，她真的不想给自己增添麻烦。美国大约有30%的垃圾是来自于食物和院子里的垃圾，他们不仅会产生更少的垃圾，他们也会制作肥料，可以肥沃土壤，这对黛比的花很有帮助，她可以拥有一个她一直梦想的美丽的花园。朗解释说，一点一点的往垃圾桶李扔东西，食物残渣和绿色废物会成为一堆，这一堆东西会渐渐的形成。

　　"Where are we keeping this pile?" Debbie asked. Ron said the bin would go in the back yard. Debbie wasn't convinced. She was worried about rats and roaches. Ron explained that as long as they didn't put any meat scraps or oily items in the compost bin, then rats wouldn't be a problem. Roaches, however, were a natural part of the materials breaking down.

　　“我们把这堆在哪里呢？”黛比问。罗恩说，应该把它放去后院。黛比表示很怀疑，她担心会有老鼠和蟑螂。罗恩解释说，只要他们没有把任何的肉类残渣或油性物品放在堆肥仓里，那就不会有问题了。不管怎么样，蟑螂也是堆肥的一部分。

　　Ron was especially excited about what he bought to put in the compost bin. He pulled out a small box and gave it to Debbie. She opened it and screamed before dropping the box on the floor. The box was filled with worms.

　　罗恩非常期待着他把垃圾放到堆肥箱的结果。他拿出一个小盒子，把它给了黛比。她打开它，然后尖叫了一声，把箱子扔在地板上。箱子里装满了虫子。
