  Should be a no-brainer:应该是再简单不过的事
  But there's a huge difference: 但是差异很大
  垃圾分类很烧脑!
  Recycling: 垃圾分类、再循环
  Garbage can/bin 1: 垃圾桶
  Confusing label: 标签有时让人很搞不清

  怎么和陌生人寒暄?

  早上说:"Have a good day!"
  中午或下午说:"Enjoy the rest of your day!"
  晚上说:"Have a great evening!" 或者"Enjoy the rest of your evening!"
  这么多,太搞了!那就说这句,一天任何时候都能用!

  没有什么具体意思,"one"也不指代什么特定的东西。但是,是万用百搭的寒暄方式!
