扫地拖地

字幕原文

The floors are looking grubby, 地上看着脏兮兮的，

so I decide to give them a proper clean. 所以我打算好好打扫一下。

I grab the broom and sweep everything into a pile — 我拿起扫把，把垃圾扫成一堆——

crumbs, dust, a surprising amount of hair. 碎屑、灰尘，还有多得吓人的头发。

I crouch down with the dustpan, 我拿着簸箕蹲下身，

sweep it all in, and tip it into the bin. 把它们全扫进去，倒进垃圾桶。

Then I fill a bucket, dunk the mop, 然后我接了桶水，把拖把浸湿，

and wring it out until it's just damp, not dripping. 拧到微湿、不再滴水为止。

I work my way across the floor in slow strokes, 我一下一下慢慢地拖着地，

backing toward the door so I don't trap myself in a wet corner. 一边往门口退，免得把自己困在湿漉漉的角落里。

For the tight spots the mop can't reach, 至于拖把够不着的边角缝隙，

I run the vacuum along the edges and into the corners. 我就用吸尘器沿着墙边和角落吸了一遍。

There's a strange satisfaction in a freshly cleaned floor — 刚拖干净的地板总能带来一种奇妙的满足感——

you almost don't want to walk on it. 甚至让人有点舍不得踩上去。

I prop the mop up to dry, 我把拖把立起来晾着，

and the whole room suddenly feels lighter. 整个屋子瞬间感觉清爽了不少。
