日常對話:公寓洗衣房

By Charlie Morgan

那零 注

Apartment buildings in Toronto have a laundry room, because people can’t put washing machines in their units. You have to pay for these machines, like at a laundromat. You put coins into places on a small metal tray which you then push into the machine.

First Time

It’s John’s first time to use the laundry room. He asks Judy, who is already there. John thinks laundry is women’s work—is he right?

John: Hi, is this the way to the laundry room?

Judy: Yes, follow me, right this way. Is this your first time to use it?

John: Yes, it is. Could you show me how to use the machines?

Judy: Sure, do you have coins? These machines take quarters.

John: Yes, I’m prepared. Where should I insert the coins?

Judy: Put them into the slots on this tray and slide the tray into the machine.

John: Like so?

Judy: Yes, now add the soap first, then the clothes. That’s my way to do it.

John: How long do the machines take?

Judy: Half an hour. Then, it’s time for the dryer. That’s a further hour.

John: That’s way too long for me. You’re a woman. Could you watch the machine for me? Here are some quarters. I’ll see you when it’s all done!

Borrowing Everything

John comes into the laundry room without detergent or enough coins. Is this an accident, or does he want to talk to Judy?

John: The laundry room is pretty quiet tonight, isn’t it?

Judy: Yes, most people have better things to do tonight. What a way to spend a Friday evening!

John: At least it’s easy to snag a machine. I’ll take the ones beside you.

Judy: Sorry, I’m in your way. I’ll move. You sure have lots of laundry.

John: Yes, this laundry bag weighs a ton. Say, can I buy some quarters off you? I figured I only had one load, but I was way off. I’ll need two washers.

Judy: Sorry, I can’t help you. I only have enough quarters for myself.

John: I’ll have to stuff it all in one machine. By the way, can I borrow your detergent? I left mine upstairs.

Judy: Sorry, I have to get back upstairs to my husband. I’m sure your wife can help you.

John: Why do you think I’m married?

Judy: There are lots of women’s clothes in your laundry bag!

Pretty in Pink

John comes back upstairs to his wife. She is unhappy with the way he did the laundry. It also shrank.

Jane: Honey, did you finish the laundry? I need my white blouse for work tomorrow.

John: Yes, it’s all in the laundry basket.

Jane: Oh, no! My white blouse is pink!

John: No way! It looks fine to me.

Jane: No, hold it up to the light. This way, you can see. What did you do? Didn’t you sort the laundry like I told you to?

John: I only had enough change for one machine. There was no way around it.

Jane: Way to go, genius. That was my best blouse. I think it shrank, too. How could you?

John: Sorry, I didn’t do it on purpose. Besides, lots of women have pink blouses. My problem is worse. I now have pink underwear!
