奥巴马写给女儿的信：停止在做的17件事

　　13 – Stop Being Wasteful

　　停止浪费

　
　You don’t finish your meals, and away food instead. You leave the
faucet running when you brush your teeth, pouring precious water down
the drain. You drive places you could easily walk, burning gasoline （a
non-renewable resource）。 You are wasteful, and it needs to stop.

　　你饭没吃完，然后扔掉食物；刷牙的时候还开着水龙头，就让宝贵的水哗哗的流走；明明可以走到的地方你偏要开车，燃烧汽油（无法再生资源）。如果你浪费了，那就赶紧停止这一恶习。

　　14– Stop Littering

　　不要乱扔垃圾

　
　The only thing I hate more than wasteful people are litterbugs.
Litterbugs are my least favorite bug, and there are more than you’d
think. If you’ve ever thrown even one piece of gum, paper, candy
wrapper, cigarette butt, etc on the ground, you’re a disgusting
litterbug, and you should be ashamed of yourself. There are over 7
billion people in the world – if each person only throws one “innocent”
piece of garbage on the ground, that’s 7 billion pieces of garbage
littering a world in which nobody “did it”。

　　唯一一个让我觉得比浪费的人更可恶的就是
垃圾虫。垃圾虫最让我厌恶，而且永远多的让你数不清。如果你曾扔过一块口香糖，一张纸、糖果包装、烟蒂，那么你就是恶心的垃圾虫。你应该感到耻辱。世界上
有超过70亿的人——如果每个人都无意识的扔一点垃圾，那么全世界就会变成70亿垃圾场，哪怕没有罪魁祸首。

　　Your one
decision makes a HUGE difference, and I will not allow you to blow it
off and walk around with your head held high. You’re a litterbug, and it
 needs to stop immediately. You don’t get a lifehack for this one, you
filthy animal. Just stop – you already know how.

　　你的一个决定会产生深远的影响，我不赞成你去大马路大声高呼。如果你是垃圾虫，那么就需要马上停止了，也许不会救命，但能让你不那么惹人厌。停止这一举动吧，你知道该怎么做的。
