While taking out the trash is a boring task for many people around the world, in Taiwan it’s actually fun. In Taiwan, garbage trucks, like ice cream vans, are equipped with speakers that play music with popular tunes alerting citizens that trash time arrived. Besides, this system of garbage collection helps to foster an eco-friendly culture and a sense of community. 對世界上許多人來說，垃圾車是個很無聊的話題，然而對臺灣人來說，垃圾車卻是一個很有趣的話題 在臺灣，垃圾車會像冰淇淋車一樣，用揚聲器播放當下流行的音樂來提醒居民，倒垃圾的時候到了。此外，這種垃圾收集系統也有助於建立生態友好的文化以及集體感。

5. 在這個世界上，杰克
最喜歡的東西就是冰
淇淋。
More than anything in the world,
Jack likes ice-cream.

7. 每個禮拜日，當冰淇
淋車的美妙旋律響起，
杰克總是希望自己能
排在第一 個。
Every Sunday when the sweet
melody of the ice-cream truck is
heard coming around, Jack runs
outside hopes to be the first in line.

9. 今天是杰克六歲生日，
他的爸媽帶著他回臺
灣探望他的外公和外
婆。
Today Jack is 6 years old. His
parents are taking him on a trip to
Taiwan to meet with his
grandparents.

11. 他們在公園裡散步，杰
克在吃冰淇淋。
In Taiwan they visit many
beautiful places.
They walk in the park and Jack
eats ice-cream.

13. 他們去參觀寺廟杰克
在吃冰淇淋。
They visit the Temple and Jack eats
ice-cream.

15. 他們去乘火車，杰克在
吃冰淇淋。
They take the train and Jack eats ice-
cream.

17. 他們在古城裡散步，
杰克在吃冰淇淋。
They visit old cities and Jack eats
ice-cream.

19. 他們去爬山，杰克在
吃冰淇淋。
They go to the mountains and
Jack eats ice-cream.

21. “杰克，來，這碗紅
豆湯是你媽媽在你這
年紀時最喜歡的甜
點。”外婆說。“我
要吃冰淇淋！”杰克
一邊說一邊將紅豆湯
推到旁邊。
“Jiékè, here, have a sweet red
bean desert, your mother’s
favorite when she was your age,”
says Granma.
“I want ice-cream!” cries Jack
pushing the red bean bowl aside.

23. 這時，一段熟悉的旋
律從窗外傳入。“冰
淇淋車！”杰克大聲
地叫著，並從椅子上
跳下來跑到窗邊。
A familiar sound is heard outside
the window. “The ice cream truck,”
shouts Jack, jumps of the chair and
rushes to the window.

25. “冰淇淋車在哪
裡？”杰克問。
“Where is the ice cream
truck?” says Jack.

27. 當外婆打開門與媽媽
一起提著塑膠袋走吃
去時，杰克衝到外面
並且排到了第一個。
Granma opens the door; she and
mother are holding plastic bags in
their hands. In no time Jack rushes
outside to be the first in line.

29. 他疑惑地望向四周並
詢問 “冰淇淋車在哪
裡？小朋友們在哪
裡？”。
“Where is the ice cream truck and
where are all the kids?” asks Jack
looking side to side.

31. 這時，杰克驚奇地問
道：“難道垃圾車就
是冰淇淋車？”
“The ice-cream truck is a garbage
truck?” asks Jack in wonder.

33. “這是一台會唱歌的
垃圾車，在這裡把垃
圾拿出來可是很有趣
的喔。”媽媽笑著告
訴他 ，鄰居也都笑了
起來。
“This is a Singing Garbage Truck
and here taking out the trash is
fun,” says mother and laugh
together with all the neighbors.

作者有话说
对世界上许多人来说，垃圾是个很无聊的话题，然而对台湾
人来说，垃圾却是一个很好玩的话题。
在台湾，垃圾车会像冰淇淋车一样，用扬声器播放当下流行
的音乐来提醒人们，倒垃圾的时候到了。此外，这种垃圾收
集系统也有助于建立生态友好的文化以及集体感。
