地道美語聽力播客:Trash and Recycling
Rajid: What are you doing?
Nicole: I’m putting my garbage into the garbage can . Why?
Rajid: Don’t you recycle ? You’re supposed to separate out your recyclables and put them in a separate bin .
Nicole: I know, I know, but who has the time? I don’t have that much trash anyway.
Rajid: Oh, yeah? The dump is full of food containers that aren’t biodegradable from people who didn’t have the time.
Nicole: Come on. Don’t blow things out of proportion . It’s not like I’m going to save theenvironment all by myself.
Rajid: No, you’re not, but if everybody thinks the same way you do, we’re going to use up all of our natural resources .
Nicole: When did you turn into an ecologist ? I don’t see you conserving energy. You have your lights on all night. I can see them through your window.
Rajid: I use energy-efficient bulbs. Besides, I take my recyclables to the recycling center , I have energy-efficient appliances, and I turn down my thermostat .
Nicole: I’m just saying that you’re not doing everything you can to save the environment. Okay, okay. Put your money where your mouth is and help me separate out my recyclables.
Rajid: Me? You want me to help you sort through your garbage?
Nicole: Since you’re the expert, I need you to show me how.
