基本铲雪 · Basic Snow Shoveling
basicHey, this is my first winter here. Am I responsible for shoveling the sidewalk in front of my house?
嘿，这是我在这里的第一个冬天。我需要负责铲门前人行道的雪吗？
Yes — by city ordinance, homeowners have to clear the sidewalk within 24 hours after the snow stops. Otherwise, you could get fined.
是的——根据市政条例，房主必须在雪停后24小时内清除人行道上的雪。否则会被罚款。
💡 在美国，房主通常有责任清理门前的人行道，否则可能面临罚款。
I don't even have a snow shovel. Where should I get one?
我连雪铲都没有。去哪买？
Home Depot or Lowe's. Get a wide push shovel for the driveway and a smaller one for the walkway. And definitely buy some rock salt or ice melt to prevent slipping.
Home Depot或Lowe's。买一把宽推铲铲车道，小铲铲走道。一定要买些岩盐或融冰剂防滑。
💡 Home Depot 和 Lowe's 是美国主要的家装连锁店，也是购买铲雪工具和融雪剂的首选。
How deep does the snow usually get here?
这里雪一般下多厚？
We usually get a few big storms each winter — anywhere from 6 to 12 inches at a time. Start shoveling early; don't wait for it to pile up.
每个冬天通常有几场大雪——一次6到12英寸。早点开始铲，别等堆积了。
Any tips for shoveling? I've never done it before.
有什么铲雪技巧吗？我从来没铲过。
Lift with your legs, not your back — shoveling injuries are really common. Push the snow to the side rather than lifting it. And take breaks. Also, don't dump snow near fire hydrants or storm drains.
用腿发力，不要用腰——铲雪受伤很常见。把雪推到旁边，不要举起来。多休息。还有，别把雪堆在消防栓或雨水沟旁边。
💡 清理出的雪不能随便堆放，特别是不能堵住消防栓或雨水排水口，这是常见的城市规定。
Thanks, that's really helpful. I better go buy a shovel today!
谢谢，太有用了。我今天赶紧去买雪铲！
请人铲雪 · Hiring a Snow Plow Service
intermediateHi, I need my driveway plowed. We got about a foot of snow last night and I can't get my car out.
你好，我需要清理车道。昨晚下了大约一英尺的雪，车出不来了。
We're getting a lot of calls today! For a standard two-car driveway, it's $50 per plow. We can add your sidewalk and walkway for an extra $20.
今天电话特别多！标准双车道除雪50美元。人行道和走道额外20美元。
Yes, please do the driveway and sidewalk. How soon can you get here?
好的，车道和人行道都做。多快能来？
We're working through the neighborhood now. I'd say about two to three hours. We'll text you when we're on the way.
我们正在这片区域作业。大约两到三小时。出发时会发短信给你。
Do you offer seasonal contracts? I'd rather not call every time it snows.
你们有季节合同吗？我不想每次下雪都打电话。
Yes! Our seasonal plan is $400 for the whole winter — unlimited plowing whenever we get 3 inches or more. That includes your driveway and sidewalk. You'd be on our priority list too.
有的！季节计划整个冬天400美元——只要下雪超过3英寸就来铲，不限次数。包括车道和人行道。你还会在我们的优先名单上。
That's a no-brainer. Sign me up for the seasonal plan.
太值了。给我报名季节计划。

Great! I'll email you the agreement. We also salt the driveway and walkway after plowing to prevent ice. That's included in the seasonal price.
好的！我会发合同邮件给你。铲雪后我们还会在车道和走道撒盐防冰。这个包含在季节价格里。
Perfect. Thanks for the quick response!
