 　　Shopping Carts Everywhere购物车随处可见

　　Look at those damn shopping carts, Joe thought. Two of them were parked on his front lawn. Two more were parked behind his car in the driveway. His neighborhood had gone to hell. He lived half a mile from Foodco, a supermarket chain. Nobody should take a shopping cart half a mile from the supermarket. And no one with any respect for others should leave a shopping cart in a stranger's yard.

　　看着那些该死的购物车，乔思考着，其中2个停在他前草坪上，还有更多的人停在他的车后面的车道上。他家周围就快变成地狱了，他住在离Foodco一家连锁超市半英里处。没有人应该从超市的半英里处推着购物车，没有人会觉得在陌生人的院子里停购物车会很不礼貌。

　　Shoppers should push the cart out to their car, and then leave it there. If they don't own a car, they should buy their own personal cart to transport their groceries home.

　　购物者应该把车推到车上，然后把车放在那里。如果他们没有自己的车，他们应该买辆车来装他们的食品杂货。

　　He called Foodco to tell them that four carts were on his property. They said they would be over as soon as they could. That meant about a week. Throughout his neighborhood, carts were scattered in various places, including the streets themselves. As if kids, pets, and potholes weren't enough, drivers now had to dodge shopping carts. Joe wondered how there could be any left in the supermarket. Foodco paid over $100 for each cart, so he thought they'd guard them better. Instead, they did nothing to secure the carts. They simply paid someone to drive around the neighborhood once or twice a week to pick up stranded carts.

　　他打电话给Foodco告诉他们，有四辆购物车正在他家门口。他们说他们会尽快取走他们。这意味着大约一周。在他附近的街道上，车都分散在不同的地方，包括街道本身。好像孩子们，宠物们，和路坑不是很多，司机们现在不得不躲避的购物车。乔不知道超市的左边会变成什么样。Foodco要100美元一辆，所以他想更好保护他们。相反，他们没有保护好他们的车的话，他们一周之内会会到附近去一次或者两次，把那些滞留的车带走。

　　Joe opened the yellow pages of his phone book. He was going to hire a contractor to build a fence around his lawn and a locking gate for his driveway. Enough was enough.

　　乔打开他的电话簿的黄页。他要雇一个承包人在草坪上盖一个篱笆，还在车道那里安装一个锁门。他真是受够了。
