Rachel, I thought we would talk a little bit about items and their shelf life, like how long will you keep something?For example, like a book or clothing,because yesterday I was talking to my students and they were surprised when I admitted that the shirt I was wearing, I had had for over 10 years.Now, they're young and they can't imagine that.No, that might be a function of being young.Right, exactly. Because their clothes of 10 years ago are obviously too small.Yeah.It depends on the clothes. Do you like to keep your clothes a long time?If I really like them, I might.Yeah. How often do you toss out your clothes?I toss out clothes once or twice a year.I'll go through my wardrobe and throw out things that are too small or have started to look shabby.But there are other things that I just keep year after year after year,probably things people don't see as often like pajamas might last a little longer.Yeah.Some people advise that if you haven't worn something for six months, you should throw it out,but that seems to me to be not logical, given that there are four seasons and they last a year.If you haven't worn something for a year, maybe you should consider throwing it out.But yeah, definitely, at the start of the season, not in the opposite season. You have to think about the weather.Yeah. What about food? We live in Japan. We're both teachers in Japan.One thing I often wonder about is the sashimi and the sushi, the raw fish. How long can you keep it before you eat it?
蕾切尔，我想来谈谈物品及其保存期，比如你会保存某样东西多久？举例来说，比如书或衣服的保存期是多久？昨天我和学生们聊天，他们对我身上这件T恤已经穿了10多年这件事感到震惊。他们现在很年轻，他们无法想象这种情况。那可能就是年轻的一种体现。对，没错。显然，他们10年前的衣服太小了，已经没法穿了。对。这取决于衣服。你会保留衣服很长时间吗？如果我非常喜欢那些衣服的话，我可能会。好。你通常多久清理一次衣服？我一般一年清理一到两次衣服。我会检查我的衣柜，然后把太小或看上去有些破旧的衣服扔掉。不过我也有会保留很多年的衣服，那就是睡衣，其他人可能认为这类衣服通常不会穿太长时间。对。有人建议说，如果有的衣服半年还没有穿坏，那就应该扔了，但是对我来说这种说法不符合逻辑，因为一年有四个季节，所以衣服可以穿一年。如果有衣服一年还没有穿坏，那应该考虑扔掉了。当然，要在一个季节开始时扔掉那些衣服，而不是在相反的季节。要考虑到天气因素。好。那食物呢？我们现在生活在日本。我们两个人都在日本当老师。我经常在想的是生鱼片和寿司。这些食物在吃之前你能保存多久？
