Spring cleaning is suppose to take place before summer, not after it. But, as usual, I procrastinated and now I have to finally get rid of all the junk I've accumulated over the year. But now there are no if's, and's, or but's about it--the cleaning must be done!
春季大扫除应该在夏天之前而不是之后进行的。但是，跟往常一样，我一拖再拖，现在我终于可以摆脱积攒了近一年的垃圾了。但是现在没有什么借口，必须大扫除！
I start in my bedroom. I have a king bed, with a sheet on the mattress and a top sheet, with pillow cases on the pillows. Atop all that I have a down comforter. Well, they all need to be washed, so into the machine they go. Next I start in on the closet. What a mess! I've got boxes and bins full of stuff that need sorting . Finally, I have to vacuum the carpet and dust. Whew! Quite a job! Good thing I don't have any drapes, just shades on the windows.
我从我的卧室开始。我有一个特大号床，有一张床垫和一床褥子，枕头上套着枕套。最上面有床羽绒被。那么，它们都需要清洗，因此把它们放到洗衣机里面。接下来我开始打扫衣柜。真乱啊！有许多盒子和垃圾箱都是需要分类整理的东西。终于，我得清理地毯和灰尘了。唔，工作量真大！好消息是我没有窗帘，只有卷帘。
But I'm not done yet. It's time to move on to the kitchen. I have a combination stove and oven, both of which I need to clean. I start with the fridge, though, which needs the most work. I take out the shelves and rinse them all off. Then I dump anything that has passed its expiration date. Then its back to the stove, which I need to scrub clean of the grease and stains , and the same for the oven. Finally, I wash all the dirty dishes and put them in a dish rack next to the sink.
但是，还没干完。该收拾厨房了。我有一个组合炉和烤箱，都需要我清理。不过，我从冰箱开始收拾，工作量最大了。我拿出储物架，把它们都洗了一遍。然后，我扔掉过了保质期的食物。接着，开始收拾火炉了，我需要清理干净所有的油迹和污渍，烤箱也是这样打扫。终于，我把所有的脏盘子都洗了，把它们放在水槽旁边的碗碟架上。
Spring cleaning is always a mixed bag for me. It's a lot of work, but I also find things I've been missing for the past year! Maybe next time I'll manage to do my spring cleaning in the spring.
春季大扫除对我来说总是大杂烩。工作量很大，但是我也找到了过去一年找不见的东西！或许，下次我能够在春天完成我的春季大扫除。
