I see people with ~$1000 phones but no dryers¹.

我看到人们用1000刀的手机，但是没有烘干机

Due to the lack of dryers the few hotels that offer laundry service charge rates that approach new clothes prices to wash and dry.

由于缺少烘干机，少数提供洗衣服务的酒店所收的费用接近新衣服的价格

Secondly people believe air-dried laundry is the best way of the practice as it reduces energy consumption³. Also UV ray of the sunlight helps to kill the bacteria. The clean clothes collected from the cloth line after whole day of sun-bathing have a natural smell of 'sunshine' which the machine-dried clothes will never have. Machine- dry is not good for certain fabrics⁴ such as cotton. That's probably one of the reasons that the clothes consumption of US(per person) is much higher than China.

其次，在实践中人们相信，自然风干衣服是最佳方法，这能减少能量消耗，阳光中的紫外线还可以帮助杀死细菌。一天结束后把整条衣架上的衣服收起来可以闻到“阳光的味道”，这是机器烘干的衣服永远不会有的。机器烘干不适合某些衣料，例如棉。这可能是美国（人均）消耗衣服远高于中国的原因。

Thirdly the apartment price in China is skyrocketing in the last decade. People will make full use of every square meter of indoor space. A big ，noisyexpensive machine you seldom use will not be put on the top of the shopping list.

第三， 最近十年中国住房价格暴涨。人们要充分利用屋内每一平米的空间。一台大型，有噪声，昂贵的，还不怎么用得到的机器，不会在购物清单最上面的。

Chinese are known to be thrifty⁵ and pragmatic so if you try to persuade them to accept dryer² the machine has to be energy- efficient small quiet and multi-functional.

众所周知，中国人勤俭务实。所以如果你试图说服他们接受烘干机，这台机器必须节能高效，小巧，安静且多功能
