When you scavenge, you pick through discarded things looking for whatever is salvageable and can be reused. If you’re looking for a replacement part for a vintage car, you might scavenge at the dump for a suitable part.

长释义：
If you’re a freegan you’ve embraced the idea of trying to live for free, recycling and reusing what others have discarded, leaving a small footprint on the planet. You’re on the lookout for good places to scavenge, such as the dumpster behind a busy supermarket, where you might find edible food, or the trash bins at clothing stores, where wearable clothing is tossed out. Vultures, hyenas, and other animals that feed on carrion — dead animals — also scavenge.
如果你是一个自由主义者，你已经接受了尝试免费生活、回收和再利用别人丢弃的东西的想法，在地球上留下一个小足迹。您正在寻找好地方进行清理，例如繁忙的超市后面的垃圾箱，您可能会在那里找到可食用的食物，或者服装店的垃圾桶，可穿戴的衣服会被扔掉。秃鹰、鬣狗和其他以腐肉为食的动物——死动物——也会食腐。
