  Well, the old saying goes, “One man’s trash is another man’s treasure.” A 13-year-old girl picked up on that 1)notion, converting juice bags into a stylish 2)carryall. KCAL-9’s Suzy Suh. She joins us live with this 3)crafty and 4)lucrative invention. Suzy.
  Suzy: Thirteen-year-old McKenzie Davidson loves purses. In fact, when she goes to the mall with her Mom, she says “Mom, I want this purse. I want that purse.” But her Mom usually tells her, “McKenzie, you have too many purses already.” Well now, she’s making her own.
  With all the juice bags that you drink this summer, McKenzie Davidson says, help her turn trash into cash. When the 13-year-old is not at school or playing soccer, she’s 5)pedaling away on her sewing machine; every 6)stitch, every 7)seam, a 8)patch closer to her dreams of being a fashion designer.
  


  McKenzie: First we drink them, wash them out, tape them together. We sew the parts together and then you have a purse.
  Suzy: Perhaps it’s the 9)entrepreneur blood that runs in her family.
  McKenzie: My dad and his dad and then my grandpa and his son…
  Suzy: …or her love for the environment. Hence her label, “Trash E Fashions.”
  McKenzie: We always learned about that and it’s like, “Oh, try and recycle,” and “we have recycle bins at school.” It’s a different way to recycle.
  


  Suzy: Whatever the case, customers can’t seem to get enough of the purse products selling here on the frat.com, at $30 a 10)pop, or 11)juice.
  An idea inspired by friends, a 12)Home-Ec. teacher, and some sewing lessons, is securing a busy summer vacation…and future for this teen, who believes 13)rubbish is all the 14)rage.
  McKenzie: You can do anything, like, just put your mind to it and you can achieve it.
  Suzy: And just one more note. Last year, McKenzie designed clothing for a fashion show using newspaper, plastic bags and straws. Very creative.
  


  
  常言道:一个人的垃圾可能是其他人的宝贝。有一位13岁的小姑娘采用了这个观念,将果汁包装袋改造成了时髦的大手提包。这位是KCAL-9频道的记者苏西•苏,她将与我们一起现场报道这个巧妙而又能赚钱的发明。有请苏西。
  苏西:13岁的麦肯齐•戴维森非常喜欢手袋。事实上,当她同妈妈一起逛商场时,她会说:“妈妈,我想要这个手袋,我想要那个手袋。”但她妈妈总是对她说:“麦肯齐,你已经有不少手袋啦。”现在呢,她能自己动手做手袋了。
  麦肯齐•戴维森说,这个夏天所有人喝完果汁后的包装袋,都能帮助她将垃圾变成钱。当这位13岁的小女孩不用上学,或不去踢足球的时候,她就坐在缝纫机前劳作,她的每一针、每一线,都向着做时尚设计师的梦想靠近。
  麦肯齐:我们先喝完果汁,将包装袋洗干净,用胶布把它们拼到一起,再将各部份缝起来,然后一个手袋就完成啦。
  苏西:也许是因为她的家族有企业家的传统。
  麦肯齐:我爸爸及他的爸爸,还有我外公及他的儿子……
  苏西:或者说因为她热爱生态环境,所以她的牌子就叫“垃圾E时尚”。
  麦肯齐:我们总是听到这类话,比如:“哦,尝试循环使用吧”,“我们学校有回收桶”等,而这是用不同的方法回收利用。
  苏西:不管怎样,这种手袋在这个大学生联谊网上的售价30美元一“罐”,这似乎还供不应求。当然,还有这里面的果汁包装盒啦。
  这是一个受朋友、家政课老师及一些缝纫课程启发而形成的想法,它将令麦肯齐的这个暑假及未来过得忙碌而充实……这位女孩相信用垃圾做成的产品正风靡一时。
  麦肯齐:你可以做任何事情,只要用心做,就能够达到目的。
  苏西:再多讲一件事,去年,麦肯齐曾用报纸、塑料袋及禾秆为一台时装展设计服装。非常有创意。

Indie实际上是“independent(独立的)”一词的简称,指的是独立艺术家在没有得到唱片公司、电影公司或是其他大宗款项支持的情况下,进行的非商业化主流的艺术创造。Indie不仅包括独立音乐,还包括独立电影、独立广播等。   众多独立音乐人带着一种对主流不妥协的态度,执着地追求着心中独树一帜的理想音乐。Britpop(英式流行摇滚,英式摇滚)这种音乐形式起源于英国独立音乐时期。上世纪90年代
