bin vs discard
「bin」強調將物品丟入垃圾桶的具體動作,而「discard」則更廣泛地指丟棄或拋棄某物,不一定涉及垃圾桶。
bin vs dispose
「bin」是口語化的丟棄動作,而「dispose」則較正式,常指以特定(尤其是正確或安全)的方式處理廢棄物。
bin vs trash
「bin」在英式英語中常用作動詞,指丟入垃圾桶;「trash」在美式英語中更常作動詞,指丟棄或損毀,語意更強。
在口語中,bin 常用來引述或轉述他人丟棄某物的決定或動作。

翻譯: 這根本是垃圾,直接丟進垃圾桶。
EN:Don't even think about keeping it, bin it now!

翻譯: 所以,關於那些文件...我想我們應該,呃,丟掉嗎?
EN:What about the leftovers? Maybe we can... bin them.

×I will bin it in the garbage.
✓I will bin it.
The verb 'bin' already means 'to throw something into a bin/trash can'. Adding 'in the garbage' is redundant.
×She binned the room.
✓She cleaned the room. / She threw things away in the room.
'Bin' as a verb specifically means to discard something by putting it in a bin. It cannot be used to mean general cleaning of a space.
×I binned to buy a new one.
✓I decided to buy a new one. / I gave up on the old one and bought a new one.
'Bin' means to physically discard something. It cannot be used figuratively to mean 'decide against' or 'reject an idea' in the same grammatical structure as verbs like 'decide' or 'choose'.
×This idea is binned.
✓This idea is discarded/rejected.
'Bin' is primarily a transitive verb (needs an object). Using its past participle as a standard adjective for a state (like 'discarded') is less common and can sound unnatural. 'Discarded' or 'rejected' are better adjectives.
×Please bin it into the recycling.
✓Please put it in the recycling bin. / Please recycle it.
While 'bin' can imply throwing into a specific bin, the phrase 'bin it into' is not standard. Use 'put it in the [type] bin' or the specific verb (e.g., 'recycle', 'compost').
