The first one to do sth中的不定式是定语从句的简化吗(如何还原)
The first one to dump their stuff in that litter box over there, gets to keep the job.
在这句里The first one 后面的不定式是不是定语从句的一种简化的用法呢？如果是那它未简化之前应该是什么样子的呢？

The first one to dump their stuff in that litter box over there, gets to keep the job.
其中的不定式可以转化为定语从句。如：
The first one who dumps their stuff in that litter box over there, gets to keep the job.
句意： 第一个把他们的垃圾倒在那边垃圾箱中的人有机会保住工作。
句中的 get to do sth 在此表示“有机会做某事”。又如：
Did you get to see the Louvre while you were in Paris?
你在巴黎时有机会参观罗浮宫吗?
One day we'll both get to see New
York. 总有一天我俩都有机会看看纽约.
When do I get to go to a
movie? 我什么时候才可以去看场电影?

The first one to dump their stuff in that litter box over there, gets to keep the job.
【翻译】第一个把他们的东西倾倒进那边垃圾箱里的人，就能保住这份工作。
不定式作定语修饰含有序数词的名词，从简练角度考虑，原则不宜改用定语从句。如果一定要改的话，则要照顾句子前后的时态，因为定语从句的谓语动词要体现时态。
本句而言，以下4种改法都可以：
1. The first one who dumps their stuff in that litter box over there gets to keep the job.
2. The first one who can dump their stuff in that litter box over there gets to keep the job.
3. The first one who will dump their stuff in that litter box over there gets to keep the job.
4. The first one who is to dump their stuff in that litter box over there gets to keep the job.

不定式“to dump their stuff in that litter box over there”作The first one 的后置定语，根据赵振才教授的《英语语法常见问题综合版》：当先行词含有 first, next, last 或者形容词最高级这样的词语时，则充当定语的动词不定式不含有将来意义或情态意义，而是含有“过去时”意义。因此，你的句子可以改写成：
The first one who dumped their stuff in that litter box over there, gets to keep the job.
类似的例子：
He was the first man to fly across the Atlantic (to fly=who flew)
他是第一个飞跃大西洋的人。
