A Day in My Life 18: Doing the Laundry

Oh no, my laundry basket is full again.

喔不，我的髒衣籃又滿了。

I don't have any clean socks for tomorrow!

我明天連一雙乾淨的襪子都沒有！

So today, I'm going to do the laundry.

所以今天我要洗衣服。

First, I sort my clothes into two piles.

首先，我把衣服分成兩堆。

White clothes go here, and dark clothes go there.

白衣服放這邊，深色衣服放那邊。

And Mochi sits on the dark pile, of course!

當然，Mochi就坐在深色那堆上面！

I carry the white clothes to the washing machine.

我把白衣服拿到洗衣機那邊。

I put them in and add some soap.

我把衣服放進去，再加一點洗衣精。

Then I choose a warm wash and press start.

然後我選溫水洗，再按開始。

It takes an hour, so I read my book.

要洗一個小時，所以我來看看書。

Beep, beep! The washing machine is finished!

嗶，嗶！洗衣機洗好了！

I open the door and take out my clothes.

我打開門，把衣服拿出來。

Wait, why is my white T-shirt pink?

等等，我的白T恤怎麼變成粉紅色了？

Oh no! There's a red sock in here!

喔不！裡面有一隻紅襪子！

It was in the white pile by mistake.

它不小心混進了白衣服那堆。

Now all my white T-shirts are light pink.

現在我所有的白T恤都變成淺粉紅色了。

Oh, it's okay. Pink is a nice color, too!

喔，沒關係啦。粉紅色也很好看！

I hang everything on the drying rack outside.

我把衣服都晾在外面的曬衣架上。

It's sunny and windy, so the clothes dry quickly.

今天有太陽又有風，所以衣服乾得很快。

While they're drying, I wash the dark clothes.

趁衣服在晾的時候，我來洗深色的衣服。

In the afternoon, I fold everything neatly.

下午，我把衣服都摺得整整齊齊。

My clothes smell fresh and clean.

我的衣服聞起來又香又乾淨。

But look, Mochi is sleeping in my basket!

可是你看，Mochi在我的籃子裡睡著了！

Next time, I'm going to check for red socks first!

下次我要先檢查有沒有紅襪子！
