Dad walked up cautiously, having to park the car at the base of the driveway, since the production line blocked the carport. As he and his friend got closer, they saw a steel pot sitting on top of the coals, with the toothpaste tubes being melted down. In those days, toothpaste did not come in plastic tubes. The tubes were made of lead. So once the paint was burned off, the tubes were dropped in the small steel pot, melted until they became liquid, and with my mom's pot holders we were pouring the lead through a small hole in the top of the milk cartons.
爸爸小心地走过来,由于生产线挡住了车位他不得不把车停在路边。当他和他朋友走近时,他们看见一个钢壶架在炭上,里面的废牙膏皮正在熔化。在那个时候,牙膏皮还不是塑料做的,而是铅制的。所以一旦牙膏皮上的涂料被烧掉后,被放在钢壶中的铅皮就会烧熔,直到变成液体。当铅皮到达熔点时,我们就用妈妈的抓锅布垫着,将溶液从牛奶盒顶的小孔中小心地注入到牛奶盒中。
The milk cartons were filled with plaster-of-Paris. The white powder everywhere was the plaster before we mixed it with water. In my haste, I had knocked the bag over, and the entire area look like it had been hit by a snowstorm. The milk cartons were the outer containers for plaster-of-Paris molds.
牛奶盒里装满了熟石膏,满地的白色粉末是我们将灰和水混和时弄的,由于我一时匆忙,打翻了小包,所以弄得到处是白灰,好似下了场雪。牛奶盒就是石灰模的外部容器。
