在街上请求行人为慈善机构捐款的工作或活动
the job or activity of standing on a street and asking people who are walking past to give money to a charity (= an organization that gives money, food, or help free to those who are in need because they are ill, poor, or have no home)
Chugging is a far cry from the days when charity volunteers would coyly shake collection tins. 现在募集善款的方式已经与从前靠志愿者在马路上尴尬地摇晃募捐罐大相径庭了。
After a day of getting just two sign-ups, I decided chugging isn't for me. 一天下来只有两个人报名，我觉得在街上募集慈善款这个工作不适合我。
