Corey signs up for the neighborhood cleanup day. It is Saturday morning. The small park is busy already. Volunteers wear yellow vests and carry big trash bags. Corey picks up cans and old newspapers near the swings.
科里报名参加了社区清洁日。时间是星期六上午。小公园里已经很热闹了。志愿者们穿着黄色马甲，提着大垃圾袋。科里在秋千附近捡起易拉罐和旧报纸。
An elderly woman walks slowly past the park gate. She pulls a small cart full of leaf bags. One bag falls and rips open on the sidewalk. Leaves spill across the path.
一位上了年纪的老太太慢慢地走过公园大门。她拉着一辆装满树叶袋的小推车。其中一个袋子掉了下来，在人行道上破开了。树叶撒了一路。
Corey puts down the trash bag. Corey walks over to help. "Do you need some help?" Corey asks.
科里放下垃圾袋。科里走过去帮忙。“您需要帮忙吗？”科里问。
"Oh, thank you," the woman says. "My name is Della. These bags are heavy today."
“哦，谢谢你，”老太太说，“我叫黛拉。今天这些袋子好沉。”
Corey picks up the loose leaves. Corey puts them in a new bag. Della points across the street. "I need to get these to the curb," she says.
科里把散落的树叶捡起来。科里把它们装进一个新袋子里。黛拉指着街对面。“我得把这些拿到路边去，”她说。
Together, they push the cart down the sidewalk. Corey carries two big bags. Della carries one bag. They stop once to rest.
他们一起推着小车沿着人行道走。科里提着两个大袋子。黛拉提着一个袋子。他们中途停下来歇了一次。
At the curb, they stack the bags in a row. Della wipes her hands and smiles. "Thank you so much," she says.
到了路边，他们把袋子排成一排码好。黛拉擦了擦手，笑了。“太感谢你了，”她说。
"It was easy," Corey says. "I was already outside."
“这没什么，”科里说，“反正我本来就在外面。”
Della looks at Corey's yellow vest. "Is there a cleanup day every year?" she asks.
黛拉看了看科里的黄色马甲。“这个清洁日每年都有吗？”她问。
"Yes, every fall," Corey says. "You can come next time."
“是的，每年秋天都有，”科里说，“下次您也可以来。”
Della nods slowly. "Maybe next year," she says. "I like exercise."
黛拉慢慢地点了点头。“也许明年吧，”她说，“我喜欢活动活动身体。”
"Bring gloves," Corey says with a smile. "We always need extra volunteers."
“记得带手套，”科里笑着说，“我们总是需要多几个志愿者。”
Corey waves and jogs back into the park. The other volunteers are almost done near the swings. Corey picks up the trash bag again. Corey gets back to work.
科里挥挥手，小跑着回到公园。秋千附近的其他志愿者差不多已经干完了。科里再次拿起垃圾袋。科里又干起活来。
