Kevin Alamsyah, an avid 11-year-old reader, scours for waste lying in the village.

11 岁的狂热读者凯文·阿拉姆西亚 (Kevin Alamsyah) 正在寻找村里的垃圾。

Yeah, no use wasting this baby just lying around the house.

是的，浪费这个孩子只是躺在房子周围是没有用的。

That was a business for folk who could spare the time from their land, could leave waste patches lying waste till they got a horse to carry home the crop.

这是为那些可以从他们的土地上抽出时间的人做的生意，他们可以在他们有马把庄稼运回家之前留下荒地。

The only inconvenience is, that none of these projects are yet brought to perfection; and in the mean time, the whole country lies miserably waste, the houses in ruins, and the people without food or clothes.

唯一的不便是，这些项目都还没有完善；与此同时，整个国家一片荒凉，房屋荒废，人民衣不蔽体。
