Doing Laundry

Ok, let’s go through this one more time. I don’t want anymore ruined or dyed blouses!

好吧，我们再过一遍。我不想再有衬衫被弄坏或染色了！

I know, I know. OK, so I have to separate the colors from the whites and put them in this strange looking contraption so called washing machine.

我知道，我知道。好，所以我得把彩色衣物和白色衣物分开，然后放进这个看起来怪怪的叫做洗衣机的装置里。

Right. You have to turn it on and program it depending on what type of clothes you are washing. For example for delicates, you should set a shorter washing cycle. Also, be sure to use fabric softener and this detergent when washing.

对。你得打开它，然后根据你要洗的衣服类型来设置程序。比如对于精细衣物，你应该设置较短的洗涤周期。还有，洗的时候一定要用柔顺剂和这个洗衣液。

So complicated! Ok, what about this red wine stain? How do I get it out?

这么复杂！好吧，那这个红酒渍怎么办？怎么去掉？

Since this is a white t-shirt, you can just pour a

因为这是件白T恤，你可以直接倒一点

Cool. Then I can just throw everything in the dryer for an hour and its all set right?

酷。那我就可以把所有的东西都扔进烘干机烘一个小时，就完事儿了，对吧？

No! Since you are washing delicates and cotton, you should set the dryer to medium heat and for twenty minutes.

不对！因为你洗的是精细衣物和棉质衣物，你应该把烘干机设为中温，烘二十分钟。

You know what? I’ll just have everything dry cleaned.

你知道吗？我干脆把所有东西都送去干洗算了。
