我是一根电线杆。大家知道,我一直做着非常重要的工作。
I am a utility pole. Everyone knows that I have been doing very important work.
但我最近心情很不好,觉得自己非常可怜。我原本整洁光滑的身体现在污秽不堪。我身上被涂了很多胶水,弄得我喘不过气来;一层一层残破不堪的小广告,什么“不孕不育药到病除”,“高薪招聘机不可失”,什么“全科培优步步为赢”,三教九流,应有尽有。这些已经够令我难受的了,关键人们竟然还在我的脚边扔下一袋袋臭哄哄的垃圾……就连小猫咪一家也难以忍受这恶劣的环境搬走了,我周围冷冷清清,无人问津。我实在是受不了,可我又能怎样呢?
But I've been in a bad mood lately and feel very sorry for myself. My once neat and smooth body is now filthy. I have been coated with a lot of glue on my body, making it hard for me to breathe; Layer by layer of tattered small advertisements, such as "Infertility medicine can cure the disease", "High paying recruitment opportunities are not to be missed", "General training excellence is achieved step by step", all kinds of education are available. These are already enough to make me feel uncomfortable. The key is that people are still throwing bags of smelly garbage at my feet... Even the kitten family can't bear the harsh environment and has moved away. The surroundings around me are cold and deserted, with no one paying attention. I can't take it anymore, but what can I do?
好在天无绝人之路,这天从旁边养老院的大喇叭里听到了一个好消息——政府将组织城市大扫除。所以今天对于我,是一个非常重要的日子,因为一群志愿者要来给我美容了。
Fortunately, there is no dead end to the road. On this day, I heard good news from the loudspeaker in the nearby nursing home - the government will organize a city wide cleanup. So today is a very important day for me because a group of volunteers are coming to give me beauty treatments.
就在我望眼欲穿的时候,终于有人过来了。几个人提着桶子和铲子向我走来,他们望着我开始议论:“这工作量不小啊!”“这些人真是败类!贴这么多!”“不管了,开干!”他们给我身上喷了很多除胶剂,铲子在我身上刮了又刮,铲下来的垃圾足足装了两个垃圾袋。难怪我浑身这么难受,原来贴了这么多!看着我脚下的垃圾被逐一运走,我顿时感到了前所未有的轻松,我深呼吸了几口,啊,空气真是清新啊!
Just as I was about to see it, someone finally came over. A few people walked towards me carrying buckets and shovels. They looked at me and began to discuss, "This workload is not small!" "These people are really scumbags! There are so many stickers!" "Forget it, let's go!" They sprayed a lot of glue remover on me, and the shovel scraped and scraped on me. The garbage they shoveled down was packed into two garbage bags. No wonder I feel so uncomfortable all over, I've applied so much! Watching the garbage under my feet being swept away, I suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of ease. I took a few deep breaths, oh, the air is so fresh!
接着,他们又拿来了水泥,抹平我身上的伤口。他们临走时在我周围围了一圈栏杆,上面写着“禁止入内,违者罚款”。过了几天,我身体上的水泥干了,他们又过来用水和刷子把我洗了个干干净净,把栏杆也撤走了。啊,清清爽爽的我立即精神抖擞。
Then they brought cement and smoothed the wounds on my body. Before they left, they surrounded me with a railing that read 'No Entry, Violators will be fined'. After a few days, the cement on my body dried up, and they came over again to wash me clean with water and brushes, and removed the railing. Ah, I feel refreshed and refreshed immediately.
不久,我身边又恢复了热闹,小鸟飞来跟我聊天,小猫一家子也搬回来了。
Before long, the excitement around me returned, birds flew in to chat with me, and the kitten family moved back.
可惜好景不长,两个月之后,我身上又被贴上了各种花花绿绿的小广告……唯利是图的人们啊,你们做一切的时候,有没有想过爱护环境是我们每一个人的责任呢?
Unfortunately, the good times didn't last long. Two months later, I was covered with various colorful advertisements... As profit driven people, have you ever thought that protecting the environment is the responsibility of each and every one of us when you do everything?
