waste
معنی و توضیح
The word “waste,” in this podcast, means garbage or trash: “Many electronics manufacturers have programs to help consumers recycle their electronics waste, such as toner cartridges.” The word “waste” can also refer to money that is spent unnecessarily, with little or no benefit received in return: “The auditor was shocked by the amount of government waste.” The phrase “to go to waste” means to not be used and then spoil (become bad): “Let’s eat the grapes soon, so they don’t go to waste.” Finally, if something is “a waste of time,” it is not worthwhile: “Watching this stupid TV show is a waste of time. Why don’t you go outside and get some fresh air?”
