 5 Things You Shouldn’t Buy If You’re Trying to Declutter如果你正在尝试断舍离的话，就不要买这五种东西By Tyler Calder︱October 15, 2018 Decluttering is not for the faint of heart—it can take some serious self-reflection, a discerning eye, and the type of discipline not made for a world where Target exists. Author and organization expert Marie Kondo often shares her wisdom about the four biggest hurdles that keep us buried in a sea of our own stuff: space, sentimentality, guilt, and money all make the list. 内心不够强大玩不了断舍离-它能够让你做些认真的自我反省，擦亮眼睛，以及在没有Target这样的大型超市的世界应有的自律。作为作家和收纳专家的Marie Kondo经常分享她的美妙心得，都是关于如何跨越四大障碍的智慧，其中包括让我们被大量所拥有的物品淹没的空间、多愁善感的情绪、内疚和金钱。 decluttering：弄整齐 hurdle：障碍，困难;跳栏;障碍赛跑 Truth be told, she has a point. It's hard to declutter when it means parting ways with memories or even a gift you never wanted in the first place (especially if it's from a loved one). While Kondo's four obstacles pretty much cover the gamut, we have a few specific common clutter pitfalls we want to add. 说实话，她说得有道理。当要跟过去的记忆做断舍离的时候，有些东西是很难清理的，甚至包括从一开始就不想得到（尤其是来自曾经相爱的人）的礼物。虽然Kondo的四个障碍几乎涵盖了全部，但还是有几个特别常见的坑，我们想加以说明一下。 gamut：音阶;音域;全范围，全部 pitfall：陷阱;诱惑;圈套 Consider it like the opposite of a shopping list. If you're trying to declutter, here are some do-not-buys: 把它当作购物清单的反面吧，如果你在尝试断舍离的话，下面这些算是不要买的东西： 1. Anything Trendy 1. 任何赶时髦的东西 Remember last year when you couldn't live without one of everything in crushed velvet? Fast forward a year and you're stuck with a pile of dresses and throw pillows that—while soft—are really just taking up space. Steering clear of trends can help decrease the likelihood you'll need to find a new place to store last season's impulse buys. 还记得去年你非要买一件烤花丝绒衣，没有你就活不下去吗？才过了一年，你就被一堆衣服和靠枕- 虽然还是依旧那么柔软 – 但是却占据了你很多空间。避开时髦，有助于减少你需要寻找新的空间来存储上一季你冲动购买的物品。 steering clear：避开 2. One-Time-Use Items 2. 一次性物品 Yes, that doughnut maker is really cute, that rice maker is super handy, and your pineapple corer sure does make life easier the three times a year you buy the tropical fruit. See where we're going with this? Unitaskers are often one-off problem-solvers but long-term space-consumers. If you get a little resourceful, you can probably find a multi-purpose tool that works just as well. 是呀，那个甜甜圈制作器真的好可爱，那个蒸饭锅真的很方便，而且你的削菠萝器确实会让生活更轻松，只不过你一年才买三次这个热带水果。可我们又该把它们放在哪里呢？单一工具对那些一次性问题解决提供很好的方法，它所带来的问题是长期需要占用空间。如果你好好找一找，一定可以找到一个多功能的工具，使用起来也不差。 3. Anything You're Buying "Just in Case" 3. 你买的任何“以防万一”的东西 There are a few places you're likely already storing "just in case" items in your home: your closet, your pantry, and your junk drawer. It's great to be prepared, but if you're actively trying to cull through your home, the most forward-thinking thing you can do is not buy things you're not totally sure you'll need. 在你的家里的某些地方，很可能已经储存了那些“以防万一”的物品：你的衣柜，你的储藏室和你的抽屉。有准备是很好的，但是如果你努力地想从你的家里剔除一些不必要的东西的话，你能做的最有前瞻性的事情，就是不买那些你并不肯定需要的东西。 cull：精选;挑选，剔除 4. Seasonal Items 4. 季节性物品 Don't worry—your Christmas ornaments are safe here, but we'd be remiss not to remind you to choose your seasonal whosits and whatsits selectively. Narrow your list down to the holidays or occasions you love most, or the ones that you're most likely to spend hosting. For everything else, commit to keeping your home seasonally appropriate but not holiday-specific in an effort to reduce clutter. 别担心，你们的圣诞饰品是妥妥的可以保留的，但是如果不提醒你有选择地保留那些你或他人喜欢的节日装饰品，那便是我们的失误了。把你的清单缩小到你最喜欢的节日或是你最喜欢举办的聚会。对于其他一切，坚定地保持你的家应有的季节装饰、但并不为节日所累 – 努力减少杂乱。 5. Stuff From The Clearance Bin 5. 那些降价处理的商品 This is the part Target makes hard, because the dollar section is just so fun. Try to steer your shopping cart away from this aisle and the section near the register with all the best knick knacks. Both of these are usually rife with random items and decorations that are tough to store, highly seasonal, and bait for your latest impulse buy. 这便是Target购物中心让你又爱又恨的地方了，因为减价区实在太有吸引力了。努力尝试把你的购物车避开降价商品通道、和收款台前摆放的那些令人爱不释手的小玩意儿。这两处通常都是很流行、但也很难储存的装饰品，极具季节性，且引诱着你的冲动购买欲望。 knick knack：小摆设 rife：盛传的;流行的 在家里到底该不该穿鞋，这里有标准答案！英语读头条（第352期） 👇 |
