Wedding Picture Is Full of Garbage

Wedding Picture Is Full of Garbage I am looking at a wedding picture in the newspaper. The bride is so beautiful! Her wedding dress is beautiful too! The groom is so handsome! But - hey! Where are they? 我正在看報紙上的結婚照，照片裡的新娘很漂亮、新郎也很帥氣，可是這張照片是在哪裡拍的呢? In many wedding pictures, the bride and groom are somewhere nice. Maybe they're at a lake, a park, or a garden. But this bride and groom went to … a dump!? 很多新人會在美美的地方拍婚紗照，但是這張照片居然是在一座垃圾場拍的！ What’s a dump? It’s where a lot of garbage goes. What’s garbage? It’s what we throw away: old food, old clothes, and many other things we don’t want. Dump 是垃圾場，也就是垃圾garbage集中的地方。 The bride and groom went to a dump in Nantou. It has a very big mountain of garbage! It gets fifty thousand kilograms of new garbage every day! It's dirty and smells bad! 這對新人去南投垃圾場拍照，那裡有一座很大的垃圾山。每天有5萬公斤的垃圾倒入這個垃圾場。 Taiwan has too much garbage.* *There is nowhere good to take it. The bride wanted to show their friends this. She wanted them to make less garbage at her wedding. 台灣有太多的垃圾，都沒有什麼好地方可以拿去丟。新娘想給她朋友看，讓他們知道她要在她的婚禮上減少垃圾。 Now a picture of the bride, the groom, and the garbage mountain is on the Internet. Everyone can see it! Now the bride wants everyone to make less garbage.
