I find it annoying and funny when I think about how we use protective or decorative wrappi

ngs (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 layers 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 orange protects an orange pretty well for most of its natural life, but we aren't satisfied with what nature 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.
