本文主要介绍了北爱尔兰的第一个共享冰箱，这种冰箱用于储存居民家多余的蔬菜食品，你在捐献食品的同时也可以取走你需要的食物，这样能够减少食物浪费。

Northern Ireland’s first sharing fridge has opened in Cloughmills. It’s the fridge that could help feed a community.

北爱尔兰的第一台共享冰箱已在Cloughmills开业。这是可以帮助养活社区的冰箱。

The sharing fridge is open to all with businesses and residents able to share extra food or help themselves to save food. The idea behind the community fridge is simple—take what you need and leave what you don’t need.

共享冰箱向所有的企业和居民开放，可以分享多余的食物或帮助他们节约食物。社区冰箱背后的想法很简单——拿走你需要的东西，留下你不需要的东西。

Patrick Frew, chair of Cloughmills Community Action Team, said it was not a food bank. “It’s for everyone,” he said. “If you’re going away on holidays, you can bring along some of your food before you go and leave it with us, rather than throw into the bin or landfill, and we give it out to other people. You can come and see what we have and take it home with you. If you’ve got any spare food at home, we can take it off your hands. Then see what we have that you can take home with you.”

Cloughmills社区行动小组主席Patrick Frew说，这不是一个食物银行。 “这是给大家的。假期外出之前，你可以把你的一些食物放到我们这里，而不是扔到垃圾桶或垃圾填埋场，我们会把它交给其他人。你也可以来看看我们有什么，然后把你需要的东西带回家。如果你家里有剩余的食物，那么我们可以把它拿过来。然后看看我们有什么你可以带回家的东西。”

The people behind the fridge estimate that each family in the village could be throwing away up to ￡470 of food every year—that’s ￡282,000 a year for the whole area.

共享冰箱后面背后的工作人员估计，每个社区家庭每年可能会扔掉高达470英镑的食物 ——整个社区每年就是282,000英镑。
