既然有这么多空间,鉴于他们拿走了所有的长椅,
they decided that they didn't have to take out their garbage for a long time.
他们决定很长一段时间内都没必要再清理垃圾。
We got up there, we found all the garbage in there,
我们到那里后,发现了里面这么些垃圾,
and we decided it'd be a friendly gesture for us to take the garbage down to the city dump.
我们做出了一个友善的决定:把垃圾运到城市垃圾场去。

VW microbus, took shovels and rakes and implements of destruction and headed on toward the city dump.
又带上上铲子、耙子和破坏工具,向城市垃圾场驶去。
Well we got there and there was a big sign and a chain across across the dump saying, "Closed on Thanksgiving."

And we had never heard of a dump closed on Thanksgiving before,
我们以前可从没听说过垃圾场会在感恩节关门,

眼中含着泪,我们驱车到日落时分,一直都在寻找另一个地方丢垃圾。
We didn't find one. Until we came to a side road,
然而一个都没找到。直到我们来到一条小路,
and off the side of the side road there was another fifteen foot cliff
就在小路边上有一个15英尺高的悬崖,
and at the bottom of the cliff there was another pile of garbage.
在悬崖的底部还有另一堆垃圾。
And we decided that one big pile is better than two little piles,
我们寻思着一大堆垃圾总比两小堆垃圾要好,
and rather than bring that one up we decided to throw ours down.
而且与其把那堆垃圾弄上来,不如把我们的也扔下去。
That's what we did, and drove back to the church,
