B I find it annoying and funny when I think about how we use protective or decorative wrappings ' (装饰性包装)in this country. When I come home from the supermarket and start to unpack, I am always shocked at the lay-ers of wrappings we cover our food with. There is hardly anything we buy that doesn ' t come in at least two wrappings, and then several of them are gathered by the shop assistant and put into a small bag. Then several of the small bags are grouped together and put into a big bag. If you have several big bags with small bags in them, they give you a cardboard box to put the packages-in-the-little-bags-in-the-big-bags in. A lot of things we buy wouldn ' t really need any protective wrapping at all. The skin of an or-ange protects an orange pretty well for most of its natural life , but we aren ' t satisfied with what na-ture has given it. We wrap them in plastic or put them in a net bag, and then in a paper bag. The orange inside the skin, inside the plastic which is in the paper bag, must wonder where it is. A box of biscuits often has waxed paper(蜡纸) next to the biscuits, a cardboard box holding the food and then a decorative wrapping around it. A relative of ours bought a new sofa recently because she liked the fine leather (皮革)it was covered with. She liked it so much she didn ' t want it to get dirty, so she bought a cloth cover to put over it. We may never again see the leather she' s protecting. 60.
