改造再利用的環(huán)保妙招（雙語(yǔ)）
“低碳”和“環(huán)?！边@兩個(gè)詞近幾年不斷出現(xiàn)在各種新聞報(bào)道和公益廣告中，人們也開(kāi)始在日常生活中踐行低碳理念，為環(huán)境保護(hù)貢獻(xiàn)自己的力量。我們今天要說(shuō)的upcycle就是不少人的實(shí)踐行動(dòng)之一。
環(huán)保妙招：改造再利用
To upcycle something is to take a used object and adapt it in an innovative wayto a new function. Unlike recycling, which usually involves breaking down thematerial an object is made from, before it is made into something else (therebyusing more energy), upcycling involves using something in a new way withoutdoing anything to reprocess the material it's made from. As well as being moreenergy efficient, another major benefit of upcycling is that it makes itpossible to reuse items made of materials which couldn't be dealt with byconventional recycling methods. When something is upcycled, nothing, or verylittle, is discarded, with every component part or material having a potentialuse.
將某樣?xùn)|西upcycle（即“改造再利用”）其實(shí)就是用創(chuàng)新的方式將其改造以讓其發(fā)揮新的功效。循環(huán)利用（recycling）通常是將一樣?xùn)|西的全部材料完全拆解，然后將其制作成別的東西（由此消耗了更多能源），與其不同的是，改造再利用（upcycling）不會(huì)對(duì)原材料進(jìn)行任何再處理，而是換個(gè)方式利用它們。除了節(jié)能以外，改造再利用的另一個(gè)優(yōu)點(diǎn)就是能夠讓那些傳統(tǒng)循環(huán)方式無(wú)法回收處理的物品再次被利用。某樣?xùn)|西在被改造再利用的過(guò)程中，很少或幾乎沒(méi)有材料會(huì)被廢棄，每個(gè)部件都有它潛在的用途。
An upcycled product is generally of higher value than the materials or objectsused to create it – hence examples like metal ring pulls becoming jewelleryitems such as brooches or earrings, low-value coins becoming cufflinks, and soon.
改造再利用后的產(chǎn)品通常比改造前的物品或材料有更高的價(jià)值，比如：金屬拉環(huán)做成的胸針或耳環(huán)等飾品，低面值的硬幣做成的襯衫袖鏈扣等等。
