手洗尿布省四萬
Jimmy and Rita are friends. They are both newbie parents.
吉米跟麗塔是朋友，他們都是新手爸媽。
newbie(n.)新手
Jimmy: Hey, how have you been? It’s pretty tiring taking care of a new born baby, right?
吉米：嘿，最近如何？帶新生寶寶很累人吧。
tiring(adj.)令人感到疲累的take care of=look after照顧
Rita: You’re telling me. And you know what? I found a rash on my daughter’s bum the other day. My poor baby must be allergic to something. Should I change diaper brands?
麗塔：還要你說，而且你知道嗎？我前幾天發現我女兒的屁股上有紅疹。我可憐的寶寶一定是對什麼東西過敏了，我是不是該換個尿布牌子？
rash(n.)紅疹bum=bottom(n.)屁股be allergic to對⋯⋯過敏
Jimmy: I think you can try cloth diapers. I’ve used them for several weeks, and I personally think they’re way better than disposable diapers! They’re made of chemical-free cotton, which is the best material for babies’ skin.
吉米：我覺得你可以試試看布尿布，我用幾週了，我自己是覺得比一般拋棄式尿布好得多！布尿布是用無化學成分的棉製成，對寶寶的皮膚很好。
disposable(adj.)用過即丟的be made of用⋯⋯製成material(n.)材質
Rita: Wow, I didn’t know that parents nowadays use cloth diapers. It sounds nice, but they must be really difficult to wash. You know baby’s poo right? It’s horrible!
麗塔：哇，我不知道現在的爸媽會用布尿布，聽起來很棒，但是我一定很難洗，你也知道寶寶的大便，超恐怖！
Jimmy: Don’t worry about that. Cloth diapers are entirely washable and reusable. After rinsing off the poo into the toilet, you can use an ordinary detergent to hand-wash the diaper, or just throw it into the washing machine like any other laundry.
吉米：別擔心這個，布尿布可清洗且可重複使用，在把便便沖到馬桶裡後，可以用一般洗劑手洗，也可以像洗其他衣服那樣丟進洗衣機。
entirely(adv.)整個地washable(adj.)可機洗的reusable(adj.)可重複使用的rinse(v.)清洗detergent(n.)洗衣精
Rita: That sounds great! My last question is this: is it expensive?
麗塔：聽起來很棒！我還有最後一個問題：會不會很貴啊？
Jimmy: Not at all. I’ve seen some data showing that parents spend up to 60,000 NTD on disposable diapers over a three year period, but cloth diapers only cost 20,000 NTD max. What’s more, a single disposable diaper takes hundreds of years to decompose. So if you use cloth diapers, you’re saving your money and the planet at the same time.
吉米：才不會，我看過一份數據顯示，用拋棄式尿布的父母3年內要花6萬元，但是布尿布只要最多2萬元。而且拋棄式尿布要花幾百年才會分解，所以用布尿布不僅省錢，還可以救地球。
data(n.)數據spend... on sth在某項東西上花費多少disposable(adj.)用過即丟的cost(v.)花費decompose(v.)分解、腐敗
Rita: Thanks for telling me about all of this. I’ll do some research and order cloth diapers online later.
麗塔：謝謝你告訴我這些實用的資訊，我會再研究一下，之後上網訂幾件布尿布。
