垃圾分类
先看标题
Shanghai citizens out of sorts over new trash separation rules
Out of sorts：有点不舒服、有点不开心。昨儿刚喝完过期酸奶，今天就感到out of sorts。标题的用法不是不舒服的意思，而是upset, not happy
Over：because of or concerning sth; about sth。后面跟的是原因，经常出现在外刊当中，咱们自己写作时倒是很少使用，可以模仿造造句
Household trash has occupied the minds of Shanghai residents this week: specifically, are the contents of their bins “wet”, “dry”, “hazardous” or “recyclable”?
本周，上海居民满脑子想的都是自己产生的垃圾。具体说来，想的是垃圾桶里躺着的到底是“湿垃圾”，还是“干垃圾”，是“有毒垃圾”，还是“可回收垃圾”。
没啥难点，主要学习四个垃圾类别的英文名称。还可以记一个表达sth occupies one’s mind。
China is in the sixth year of a “war on pollution” designed not only to clean up its skies, soil and water but also upgrade its heavy industrial economy and “comprehensively utilize” its resources, including waste.
中国发起垃圾战已有六年，向垃圾宣战不仅是要把蓝天、土壤、水源搞得干干净净，更是要升级重工业，改变经济结构，“全面利用”包括垃圾在内的各类资源。
In the sixth year：说明这是第六年了，等于it’s been six years since China waged a war on pollution
Clean up: up是个小品词（particle）表示彻底地，换句话说，clean up就是打扫得一尘不染，clean只是简单的打扫，两者程度有异。另外，sky用的是复数，可以查查复数多用于什么语境
Improving recycling rates is crucial to China’s strategy, and cities are trying to figure out what to do with the heaps of trash clogging up rivers or buried in hazardous landfills.
提高可回收率对中国的垃圾治理战略有着举足轻重的影响。一堆堆垃圾或是堵住了河流，或是躺在填埋场里，大大小小的城市纷纷寻求相应的对策。
Heap：a lot of sth；补充个用法，Tom heaped praise on Jerry 汤姆对杰瑞大加赞扬。同义词shower，Tom shower Jerry with cans of cheese
Clog up：堵住了，马桶堵了，也是这个词
该如何处理成堆的垃圾。看到“处理”二字脑海里自然浮现的是address, handle, solve等，看看原文何不试试what to do with？千万别硬憋大词，自然为佳，憋出内伤就难过了
分类的初衷相信不是要为难大家，可是…
Citizens, however, are finding the new system complicated enough, with every item of waste now under careful scrutiny, from receipts and half-eaten crayfish to soggy cups of “bubble tea.” Residents are also unhappy about getting their hands dirty.
但市民们感觉新的分类系统太过复杂，每一件垃圾都会受到严格审查，不论是收银条，还是吃了一半的龙虾，亦或是湿乎乎的奶茶杯，一样都不放过。丢个垃圾就会把手弄脏，居民对此十分不满。
Soggy：又湿又软的，比如下完雨，土地很潮湿，踩上去“吧唧吧唧“响，这就是soggy；面包受潮了也是soggy
Unhappy：不满，除了不开心、不幸福外，还有不满意这个解，反过来，happy也可以作满意解，We’re very happy with your service
Get one’s hands dirty: 把手弄脏，引伸为干脏活累活。If you don’t want get your hands dirty, you’d better leave
有很多小伙伴迷惑with的用法，with很简单就是补充说明一件事儿，这里就用得很恰当，前面先说这事儿很复杂，再用with具体说来如何复杂，最后再跟上from to举例说明，三个层次，由大到小，层层推进
Though Shanghai has hired 1,700 instructors and conducted 13,000 training sessions, confused residents on social media are demanding to know how to sort items like batteries, human hair, meat on a bone, or fruit seeds and skins. The government has set up an app to handle enquiries.
尽管上海市聘请了1,700名指导员，组织了13,000场培训，但是不得要领的居民跑到社交媒体上询问电池、人的毛发、骨头上的肉、水果籽、皮等垃圾到底该如何分类。为此，上海市政府特地设计了一个手机软件用来接受市民咨询。
Shanghai aims to eventually burn or recycle all waste. By next year, dry waste incineration and wet waste treatment rates are expected to reach 27,800 tonnes a day, around 80% of the city’s total garbage. The city will also restrict the amount of single-use plastic cutlery that food service companies give out, starting on Monday.
上海希望所有的垃圾都可通过焚烧和回收进行处理。预计明年，干垃圾焚烧和湿垃圾处理率有望达到27,800吨/天，约是该城市所有垃圾的80%。同时，上海还将限制餐饮公司提供的一次性餐具的数量，该限令于周一起正式实施。
Incineration：焚烧，动词是incinerate。如果你和外星人接触过，所有的衣服都记得要be incinerated哦，不然可能会感染上太空病毒
Treatment:处理，a process by which sth is cleaned or protected，我们来举个例子，咱们平时喝的自来水都是先要经过处理的，所以是water treatment
Expected: sth is expected to do sth。预计某事有可能怎么怎么样，如Housing prices are expected to jump by next year
Single-use：一次性的，除了餐具还有一次性相机single-use camera，不知道大家小时候玩过没
小思考
Amount：比较下an amount of 和 a number of有啥区别？留言区见
翻译如做菜，煎炒炸煮、油盐酱醋
