如今，我們家里的物件更新速度很快,。什么東西,，如果哪里稍微有點壞，或者有點瑕疵,，我們就會毫不猶豫地扔掉,，然后買新的。
可是,，被扔到垃圾箱里的不一定都是廢物,。結實的書架，好看的花瓶，老舊的經典唱片,，或許都可能會出現在垃圾箱里,。
Street score is a valuable or useful item found on the street or in the trash.
Street score指在街邊或者垃圾堆中無意發(fā)現的有價值或者有用的物件，謂之“街邊偶得”,。
The word score is here used as a laundered version of a criminal slang term that means “goods or money obtained illegally, esp. as the result of a successful crime.”
這里的score原本是一個犯罪領域的俚語,，指“作案成功后得來的贓物”，當然,，這里是已經“洗白”的用法,。
Street score這個說法2008年的時候就有人開始用了。我們來看看具體的例子：
Street score in Brooklyn!!! It’s been a while since I’ve found a gem in the trash. But this morning I stumbled upon a super clean copy of Voodounon by Lafayette Afro Rock Band.
在布魯克林街邊偶得�,。,。『镁脹]有在垃圾堆淘到好東西了,。今早竟然發(fā)現了一張超級干凈的Lafayette Afro Rock Band的Voodounon唱片,。

Our chairs were street scores, the gifts of garbage night.
我們的椅子都是在街邊撿回來的，垃圾堆之夜的饋贈,。

My nose has been known to twitch when a “street score” yields a new bookshelf, a set of drinking glasses, or someone else’s discarded knitting supplies.
每當在街邊撿到一個嶄新的書架,、一套酒杯或者別人扔掉的編織工具，我的鼻子就會抽動,。
