杰夫的一天 第12期：清潔講解(1)

In this episode, we are "Cleaning Up," or making ourselves clean. 在這故事中，我們?cè)?ldquo;清潔”，或者說(shuō)使自我變得潔凈。

"I go into my bathroom," I begin the story, "sometime around 6:45 a.m." 故事開(kāi)始，“我去衛(wèi)生間，”“在早上6點(diǎn)45分鐘左右。”

Notice that we say a.m., but you could also say, "in the morning." 6:45 is also the same as quarter to seven. 注意到我們是說(shuō)“a.m.”，而你也可以說(shuō)“in the morning.”6:45也就相當(dāng)于7點(diǎn)差15分。

"My sink and medicine cabinet are on the left when you enter my bathroom." “當(dāng)你進(jìn)入我的衛(wèi)生間時(shí)，你會(huì)看到水槽和藥柜在左邊。”

In your bathroom and in your kitchen there is usually a sink and a faucet. 在你的衛(wèi)生間和廚房里通常會(huì)有水槽和水龍頭。

The faucet, "faucet," is where the water comes out, and normally you have hot water and cold water. 水龍頭(faucet)，也就是出水的地方，一般來(lái)說(shuō)會(huì)有熱水和冷水。

The sink is where the water goes into. 水槽也就是裝水的地方。

Usually, it is a round or a square white bowl, really, that has a hole at the bottom and we call that hole the drain, "drain." 它通常是圓形或方形的白色碗狀物，它底部有個(gè)孔，我們稱之為排水孔(drain)。

That's where the water goes down into the pipe—it's where the water goes out of the sink. 水就從那里進(jìn)入水管——也就是水流出水槽的地方。

If you want to fill your sink with water, you usually have to stop the drain. 如果你想在水槽里裝滿水，你就得堵上排水孔。

To stop a drain means to put something over it so that the water doesn't go down. 要堵上排水孔你就得在上面放些東西，這樣水才不會(huì)流走。
