　　Introduction

　　Despite widespread support for recycling as a critical environmental cause for conserving resources and decreasing rubbish in landfills, recycling rate has remained consistently low in many countries. Possible factors for why recycling is poorly done are worth investigating.

　　解析

　　尽管广泛支持回收利用，认为这是节约资源和减少垃圾填埋的重要环境举措，但许多国家的回收率一直很低。回收工作做得不好的可能原因值得调查。

　　critical environmental cause 重要环境举措

　　landfills 垃圾填埋厂

　　consistently 持续地

　　investigate 调查v.

　　Body 1

　　Notably, residents in high-rise condominiums find it cumbersome to sort their household garbage before carrying it down to a central disposal bin on ground level; alternatively, discarding waste from the garbage chute appears to be easy and convenient. This lack of recycling ethos is also explained by limited access to up-to-date information about recycling. Evidence abounds that glass, aluminum and E-wastes have generally high recycling rates, while plastic recycling is more costly and energy-intensive than creating plastic from scratch, leading to the low reusing rates.

　　解析

　　值得注意的是，高层公寓的居民发现，把生活垃圾分类，然后把它们送到地面上的中央垃圾箱，这很麻烦;另外，从垃圾溜槽中丢弃废物似乎很容易和方便。这种缺乏回收精神的原因还在于获取有关回收的信息的渠道有限。大量证据表明，玻璃、铝和电子垃圾的回收率普遍很高，而塑料回收比从头开始制造塑料成本更高，能源消耗更大，导致回收率很低。

　　high-rise condominiums 高层公寓

　　cumbersome 麻烦的

　　discard 丢弃v.

　　garbage chute 垃圾溜槽

　　recycling ethos 回收精神

　　aluminum 铝

　　E-wastes 电子垃圾

　　energy-intensive 能源消耗大

　　from scratch 从头开始

　　reusing rates 回收率

　　Body 2

　　Even while unwavering implementation of recycling has declined in many nations, mainstreaming reprocessing wastes needs to be effectuated by certain mechanisms. The change should start from construction of infrastructure that fundamentally shapes environmental behaviors. Municipalities should discontinue utilizing garbage chutes as a legitimate waste disposal option, while leveraging proven approaches to waste management, such as home waste equipment and visual reminders of correct waste classification. Additionally, customized and tailored recycling programs should be created, along with initiatives to counteract popular recycling fallacies, paving the way for converting wastes into reusable materials in a sustainable manner.

　　解析

　　即使在许多国家坚定不移地执行回收的情况有所减少，也需要通过某些机制实现将废物再处理纳入主流。这种改变应该从基础设施建设开始，从根本上塑造环境行为。市政当局应停止将垃圾溜槽作为合法的废物处理选择，同时利用行之有效的废物管理方法，如家庭废物设备和正确废物分类的视觉提醒。此外，应该制定量身定制的回收计划，同时采取措施消除流行的回收谬论，为以可持续的方式将废物转化为可重复使用的材料铺平道路。

　　unwavering implementation 坚定不移的执行

　　mainstream sth. 普及某物

　　effectuate 实施v.

　　counteract 消除v.

　　fallacies 谬论 n.

　　convert 转换v.

　　Ending Paragraph

　　In a nutshell, the recycling shortage would continue well into the future without game-change in improved public design, access for reuse and recyclability, as well as recycling behaviors.

　　解析

　　简而言之，如果在改善公共设计、再利用和可回收性以及回收行为方面不改变游戏规则，回收短缺将持续很长一段时间。

　　continue well into 持续

　　game-change 游戏改变：指在某个领域或行业中产生重大影响的事件或创新，使得原有的规则或模式发生改变。
