PAGE 11 - 1.从废弃电子产品中淘金 This is the VOA Special English Technology Report.这里是美国之音慢速英语科技报道。 Each year, Americans throw away millions of tons of electronic devices. That means business is good for a small electronics recycler in Chantilly, Virginia.每年，美国人都扔掉数百万吨的电子设备。这对弗吉尼亚州尚蒂伊市的一个电子回收小厂来说，意味着生意不错。 Company President Jeremy[d?er?mi]Faber established[?st?bli?t]PC Recycler. He spoke to us from the floor of his companys processing [pr?sesi?] center. Workers were busy taking apart televisions, cell phones and computers -- anything electronic.杰瑞米·费伯（Jeremy Faber）是这家电脑回收公司的总裁。他在公司的处理中心与我们交谈。工作人员正忙着拆卸电视，移动电话和电脑等电子产品。 Jeremy Faber says the flow of discarded [diskɑ:rdid] electronics is only increasing.费伯表示，电子产品废弃流只会不断增加。 JEREMY FABER: Electronics recycling is the fastest growing waste stream in the United States right now.费伯：“电子产品回收目前是美国增长最快的废品流。” Recycling electronic waste is not a single job. Newer devices can be rebuilt and resold. Breaking down electronics into small parts for refiners [rifain?z] to melt and purify[pjur?.fai] is another part. Operations Manager Andrew Portare says computer circuit [s?:kit] boards are rich resources.回收电子废弃品不是一项简单的工作。较新的电子设备可以修复并出售。另一部分是将电子废弃物分割成小块后交由提炼厂后溶解提纯。运营主管Andrew Portare表示，电脑主板是极丰富的资源。 ANDREW PORTARE: Boards have the highest scrap [skr?p] value in them so you can actually see on the back youre looking at different types of metals. This one is a really good example. Some of the older ones are mainly all gold.Andrew Portare：“电脑主板残值最高。看一下主板的背面，你可以看到各类金属。这块主板就是个很好的例子。有些旧主板上的金属主要是黄金。 Gold now sells for more than one thousand three hundred dollars an ounce. Twenty-five percent of PC Recyclers sales come from selling parts to refiners.黄金的售价现在超过1300美元一盎司。PC Recycler公司25%的销售额来自向冶炼厂出售元件。 Refining [rifaini?] companies pay more than ten dollars a kilogram for computer boards. PC Recycler can also lift profits[pr?fits] by holding metal-rich parts until prices rise.提炼公司以超过10美元每千克的价格来收购计算机主板。PC Recycler公司也可以一直持有金属含量丰富的元件，等价格上涨时出售以提高利润。 AND
