A Day in My Life 18: Doing the Laundry

Oh no, my laundry basket is full again.

哦不，我的脏衣篮又满了。

I don't have any clean socks for tomorrow!

我明天连一双干净的袜子都没有！

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，我把衣服分成两堆。

White clothes go here, and dark clothes go there.

白衣服放这边，深色衣服放那边。

And Mochi sits on the dark pile, of course!

当然，Mochi就坐在深色那堆上！

I carry the white clothes to the washing machine.

我把白衣服拿到洗衣机那儿。

I put them in and add some soap.

我把衣服放进去，再加点洗衣液。

Then I choose a warm wash and press start.

然后我选温水洗，再按开始。

It takes an hour, so I read my book.

要洗一个小时，所以我看看书。

Beep, beep! The washing machine is finished!

嘀，嘀！洗衣机洗好了！

I open the door and take out my clothes.

我打开门，把衣服拿出来。

Wait, why is my white T-shirt pink?

等等，我的白T恤怎么变成粉红色了？

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

哦不！里面有一只红袜子！

It was in the white pile by mistake.

它不小心混进了白衣服那堆。

Now all my white T-shirts are light pink.

现在我所有的白T恤都变成浅粉色了。

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

哦，没关系。粉色也挺好看的！

I hang everything on the drying rack outside.

我把衣服都晾在外面的晾衣架上。

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

今天有太阳又有风，所以衣服干得很快。

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

在晾衣服的时候，我洗深色的衣服。

In the afternoon, I fold everything neatly.

下午，我把衣服都叠得整整齐齐。

My clothes smell fresh and clean.

我的衣服闻起来清新又干净。

But look, Mochi is sleeping in my basket!

可是你看，Mochi在我的篮子里睡着了！

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

下次我要先检查有没有红袜子！
