So, most of us, we have to deal with house cleaning.
所以，我们大多数人，我们必须处理房子清洁。
Cleaning our homes is one of the most basic things that we do on our weekends or during the week.
清理我们的家是我们周末或周中最基本的事情之一。
So, lets look at some common verbs, as well as some common nouns that you can use to talk about house cleaning.
那么，我们来看一些常见的动词，以及一些可以用来讨论房屋清洁的常用名词。
Number one, obviously the most basic verb, is: " clean" .
第一， 显然是最基本的动词，是："清洁"。
So, you can use the verb " clean" to talk about anything.
所以，你可以使用动词"清洁"来谈论任何事情。
You can clean the floor, clean the window, clean a wall, clean a table, clean a chair.
您可以清洁地板，清洁窗户，清洁墙壁，清洁桌子，清洁椅子。
Thats all you need to know about the verb " clean" .
这就是关于动词"清洁"所需要知道的一切。
Next, we have the verb: " sweep" .
接下来，我们讲动词："扫"。
So: " Sweep the floor with a broom."
所以："用扫帚扫地。"
Does anyone know what a broom is?
有谁知道扫帚是什么吗？
Thats right.
对了。
This is a broom.
这是一把扫帚。
Okay?
好吗？
And sweeping is the action of doing this.
而扫就是这样的动作。
So, you sweep the floor with a broom.
所以，你用扫帚扫地。
Okay?

Now, once you sweep the floor, you might want to, you know, clean it a little more maybe with some water and some soap.
现在，一旦你扫地，你可能想要，你知道，也许要用一些水和肥皂来进行清洁。
And if you want to clean the floor with some water and some soap, what you are doing is youre probably mopping the floor with a mop.
如果你想用一些水和肥皂清洁地板，你可能正在用拖把擦地板。
Now, I dont have a mop with me today, but its best to think of a mop as like a broom with a wet part at the end.
现在，我今天没有带拖把，但最好是把拖把想象成一个尾端湿了的扫帚。
So, mopping, youre going whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.
所以，拖地，你要嗖，嗖，嗖，嗖（拖地的声音）。
Youre mopping the floor with a mop.
你在用拖把拖地。
The verb and the noun are the exact same thing.
动词和名词完全相同。
Next up, we have " vacuum" .
接下来，我们讲 "吸尘器"。
Now, what is a vacuum?
现在，什么是吸尘器？
Let me show you.
让我给你展示下。
There we have a vacuum.
这就是一个吸尘器。
And its similar to " mop" where the verb and the noun are the exact same thing.
它与"拖把"类似，动词和名词完全相同。
So, you can vacuum with a vacuum, just like you can mop with a mop.
所以，你可以用吸尘器吸尘，就像你可以用拖把拖地一样。
All right?
好吗？
Next, we have the verb: " wipe" .
接下来，我们有动词："擦拭"。
And " wipe" can be used in many contexts as well.
"擦拭"也可以用于很多情况。
So, if I have lets say. . .
所以，如果我有、我们说……
Lets imagine this is a piece of cloth.
让我们想象这是一块布。
I can wipe off the table with a cloth, for example.
例如，我可以用布擦掉桌子。
Or you. . .
或者你……
I can wipe off the board if its dirty.
如果脏了，我可以把它擦掉。
So, " to wipe" is this action.
所以，"抹"是这个动作。
Okay?
好的？
And, again, you can use the preposition " off" as a phrasal verb, so you can wipe off a table or wipe off a board, for example.
再次，你可以（在wipe后面）加个介词"off"变成短语动词，例如，可以擦掉桌子或擦掉纸板。
Next, we have the verb: " scrub" .
接下来，是动词："擦洗"。
Now, " scrub" is very often used when youre cleaning, you know, your bathroom, or the bathtub, or the walls in your bathroom.
那么，当你清洗卫生间，浴缸或浴室的墙壁时，经常会使用"擦洗"。
And if you have tiles, which are, again, the square pieces like in a bathroom, you can scrub them.
如果你家有瓷砖，又是方形的，就像在浴室里一样，你可以擦洗它们。
Okay?
好吗？
And normally, what you need is a brush to scrub, not a toothbrush, but, you know, a cleaning brush or what you can call a scrubbing pad.
通常情况下，你需要的是一把刷子，而不是一把牙刷，但是，你知道，是一个清洁刷，或者你可以称之为擦洗垫。
So, to really get that hard clean, to scrub stuff around your toilet, or around your bathtub, or around the walls in your bathroom.
所以，要真正弄得干干净净，要擦洗厕所，或者浴缸周围，或者擦洗浴室的墙壁。
Okay?
好吗？
And finally, you can use the word: " Dust (or dust off) the table with a duster" .
最后，你可以用这个："为桌子弹（弹去）灰尘，用掸子。"
Now, " dust" is something which accumulates over time on tables, on pretty much anything.
现在，"尘"是随着时间的推移在桌子上积累的东西，几乎任何东西上都会有回城。
Imagine it as being the little particles that build up over time if you dont touch something.
想象一下，如果你不碰东西的话，灰尘就是随着时间的推移而积累起来的小颗粒。
So, if you can do this to a book or to a table, you will see dust flying off of it, and you need a duster to dust off the dust.
所以，如果你对一本书或一张桌子做这个动作，你会看到有灰尘从它上面飞出来，你需要一个掸子去除灰尘。
Okay?
