他们的态度激怒了我。
Buy Nothing is “the only reason why I’m still on Facebook,” said Mr. Stahl, who has been a member since March. “There is no community meeting place anymore,” he added, except on Buy Nothing, where a member of his group recently offered a half-eaten birthday cake — a gift members were happy to take.
3月入群的成员斯塔尔说，“什么都不买”是“我上Facebook的唯一原因”。他还说，除了在“什么都不买”上，“现在都没有社区聚会场所了。”他的群成员最近提供了一个吃了一半的生日蛋糕——这是成员们很乐意接受的礼物。

人们想要的不仅仅是吃了一半的食物。远远不止。
There is the standard fare: used furniture, clothing, baby items and household goods. But the surprising things are what keep it interesting. In one Los Angeles group, used makeup, including lip gloss, frequently makes the rounds. Income disparity comes into sharp focus, too. In Silicon Valley, one group member gave away a piece of artwork that had, apparently, been bought for $10,000, while in the Germantown neighborhood of Philadelphia, members share essential items like canned food, cheese, milk and medical supplies.
