精简生活小招

Clear out your closet

整理衣橱

Closets are notorious for being cluttered with anything and everything from last year's spring shirts toshoes from the 80s.

衣橱最容易塞满各种杂七杂八的物品，包括去年春天的衬衫乃至80年代的鞋子。

Begin by purging any clothes that are obviously stained, damaged, ripped, torn, or no longer fit.

首先请把那些明显脏污破损撕裂或不再合身的衣服处理掉。

Next, remove any clothing and accessories you no longer want or need.

然后也请处理掉你已经不喜欢或不需要的衣服配饰。

Finally, take a good look at items you haven't worn or used in a year or two as well as items that are hopelessly outdated. Will you really use these items soon, say tomorrow or even in a months' time? It might be time to bite the bullet and say goodbye to these items.

最后，剔除那些你近两年都没穿戴过的以及明显过时的物品。近期你真的会用到这些东西吗？明天或这个月内？或许是时候摆脱这些物品了。
