示範例句 · Example
Dad takes the dustbin out to the front gate every Tuesday night.
逐字爸爸每個星期二晚上把垃圾桶拿出去到前面的大門。
dustbin 指的是放在「屋子外面」的那個大垃圾桶，家裡的垃圾先丟進去，等垃圾車來收走。這是英式說法，美式英語說 garbage can 或 trash can。跟 bin 比一下：bin 可以是家裡任何一個垃圾桶（房間裡的小桶也算），dustbin 特別是屋外那個大的、有蓋子的、在等人來收的。名字裡有 dust，但裝的當然不只是灰塵——可以想成這個字是從以前把爐灰、掃出來的塵土倒進去的桶子長出來的。
