英語閱讀例文：A garbage collector
John was ten years old, and he was a very lazy boy.
He had to go to school of course, but he was bored there and tried to do as little work as possible. His father and mother were both doctors and they hoped that he would become one, too, when he grew up, but one day Lohn said to his mother, When I finish school, I want to become a garbage collector.
A garbage collector? his mother asked. She was very surprised. That s not a very pleasant job. Why do you want to become a garbage collector?
Because then I d only have to work one day a week, Lohn answered.
Only one day a week? his mother said. What do you mean?
Well, John answered, I know that the ones who come to our house only work on Wednesday, because I only see them on that day.

垃圾收集工? 他母親問道。他母親非常吃驚。那可不是一件令人愉快的工作。你為什么想當一個垃圾收集工呢?
因為到時候我只需一周工作一天， 約翰回答說。
