hi 徐梦奔,

回收人--如果你有不需要的东西,可以卖给他们,他们会低价收购,然后再分类,再售出。

修理人--某些东西你还是需要的,并不想扔,可以拿给他们修理,修理好后再带回家。

horses,我还是有些同意你的.

不过我是怕麻烦,一般去医院看好医生配好药,需要等1个多小时,哪怕是看感冒,然后医生给你诊断,只需要2分钟.......所以,我是有些偷懒.

thank you cocodrilo.

johns..sometimes the 'Babel Fish' will make mistakes I think.:)

And '等一等 means "wait a moment" as well as 等等'.

.......hmmmm, johns, I'm confused too....

'and so on' doesn't means 'wait a minute', right?

hi Johns, I'm sure about that.

等一下 & 等一等,both mean '(pls) wait a moment', and if you want to express 'and so on',it should be '等等'.

等等has two meanings: 'and so on/ ect.' & 'wait', just depends on the sistuation.

e.g.: 1. 我们买了一些书籍、衣服等等
We bought some books, clothes, etc.
       2. 等等,我有话要说。
Pls wait a minute, I have something to say.

hi ancalagon, yes, 等一下 is also ok.

hi ardillachina, we have yellow light,&it will last 2-3seconds, which just tell us to prepare to go or stop.

hi architpol, if there is a comma exist(or in oral, if we have a short stop after 宝宝):宝宝,一个人很危险 then it can be translated as "Dear, it is dangerous to go alone."  

If no comma then it should be  "(leaving) A baby alone is very dangerous."  :)
