ESL杰夫的一天 第13期:清洁讲解(2)

 　　So, we have a faucet¹ and we have a sink, and in your bathroom, you often have a small box, 因此，我们既有水龙头，又有水槽，在你的卫生间里，经常会有个小盒子，

　　sometimes with a mirror on it so you can see yourself, that we call the medicine cabinet. 有时它上面会有一面镜子，这样你就能照自己，那个盒子我们就叫做药柜。

　　A cabinet, "cabinet," is like a small box where you put things, but it's a box that hangs on the wall—it is attached to the wall. “柜子”（cabinet），类似于你放东西的小盒子，但它是挂在墙上的——它固定在墙上。

　　You can have cabinets in your kitchen, where you put your dishes. 你的厨房里也可以有放餐具的柜子。

　　So, they're containers—they're things that you used to put and store or keep things. 因此，它们是容器——它们是你用来放置和保存东西的。

　　A medicine cabinet is a place where you have medicine, but also, it's a place where you put your other things that you use in the bathroom; 药柜是你放药的地方，但它也可以用来放你会在卫生间使用的其它物品；

　　things like mouthwash, shaving cream, razors and so forth². 诸如漱口水、剃须膏、剃须刀等。

　　We'll talk about those in a second. 稍后我们将说到这些东西。

　　So, that's your medicine cabinet. 所以，那就是你的药柜。

　　In my bathroom, the "sink and the medicine cabinet are on the left side" when you walk into the bathroom, "the toilet is next to that." 在我的卫生间里，当你走进我的卫生间时，“你会看到水槽和药柜在左边，旁边是马桶。”
