and so a trash container is a big, in my case, plastic box that has wheels that I can then put it down on the street. 因此，在我看来，垃圾箱就是个有轮子的大塑料箱，这样我可以把它推到大街上。

You have to put your trash containers on the street. 你必须得把垃圾箱放到街上去。

Each container has a different color. 每个垃圾箱都有不同的颜色。

In my case, black is the color for trash; blue is the color for recycling trash, so newspapers, for example; 据我所知，黑色表示装垃圾；蓝色表示装报纸这类的回收垃圾；

and green is where you put things like leaves and grass, things that you have in your — outside of your house that you want to get rid of, that are plants, that sort of thing. 而绿色表示装树叶和杂草这类的东西，也就是房子外面你不想要的东西，比如植物这类的东西。

I put the trash containers out on the street because the garbage trucks "come by early in the morning." 我把垃圾箱推到了大街上，因为垃圾车“早上来得很早。”

They come by, a two word verb, which means that they come to your house — they drive to your house. “They come by”，两个字的动词，意思是他们来到你的住处——他们开车来到你家。

And, in my neighborhood, they come by very early, so at six o'clock on Friday morning I can hear the trucks outside my window. 而且，在我家附近，他们来得非常早，因此周五早上的6点钟我就会被窗户外面的垃圾车吵醒。

I don't like it, but I need to have my trash taken away, so one day of the week I wake up early because I can hear the garbage trucks outside. 我不喜欢它，但我需要我的垃圾被拉走，因此一周里总有那么一天我醒得很早，因为我会被外面的垃圾车吵醒。
