Neil:Hello, this is Real English from BBC Learning English, Im Neil.
Helen:大伙好，我是Helen，欢迎收听地道英语。
Neil:In Real English, we look at words and phrases that you might not find in your dictionary.
Helen:英语是在现实日常不断进步的语言，所以大家需要随时更新词语，最好的办法莫过于收听 BBC Learning English 制作的地道英语。
Neil:Thats right, Helen.
Helen:那好，今天大家学什么呢？Neil?
Neil:Todays new word is recycle. R.E.C.Y.C.L.E. Recycle.
Helen:Recycle. Recycle 的意思什么呢？
Neil:This is a word that refers to how we dispose of the things we use in daily life.
Helen:What do you mean, Neil?
Neil:Well, in the past people just threw away things like glass bottles, empty tins and paper after they used them. But it is more common nowadays to use the thing again. So using something again instead of throwing it away is recycling.
Helen:我了解了，去 recycle 就是收购再用，那样Neil，哪种东西可以被收购再用呢？
Neil:Well, I recycle plastic bags. When I go to the supermarket I take a plastic bag with me to use again. I dont need to use a new one.
Helen:So Neil 说他每次去购物的时候都会随身带一个可以重复用的塑料带，那样你为何要收购再借助一些物品呢？
Neil:The main reason to recycle things is to help protect the environment. By using something again and again we use fewer resources.
Helen:我了解了，收购再用有益于环境保护，节省有限的资源。譬如大家收购再用一次性的便捷筷， 就能少砍伐一些树木。
Neil:Exactly.
Insert
A: Hey dont throw that bottle in the rubbish bin1.
B: Why not?
A: Because you should recycle it. You could use it again.
Helen:So is recycling common in the UK, Neil?
Neil:Yes, it is. In fact many local councils help people to recycle by giving them special bins2 to put glass, paper, plastic and metal in. Then the council collects the items for recycling.
Helen:有意思，在英国，很多区政府帮助居民收购可以重复用的物品，负责管理废品收购借助的全过程。
Neil:Well, looks like were out of time. So lets recap.
Helen:Good idea. To recycle 就是收购再用，而不是完全遗弃掉，如此可以有利保护生态环境。
Neil:Thats all from Real English from BBC Learning English. Bye.
Helen:Bye.
