I hate to break it to you, but your bath towel is dirty – really dirty.
我并不想和你講，但你的浴巾真的臟了。

The moment you use it, it becomes a breeding ground of bacteria; fungi; dead skincells; salivary, anal and urinary secretions; and many other germs lingering in your bathroom that may have hopped onto your towel – including droplets fromyour toilet.
你用毛巾的那一刻，毛巾就成了細(xì)菌的溫床，有死皮細(xì)胞、唾液和尿液分泌物，還有其它細(xì)菌在你的衛(wèi)生間揮之不去，或許就一躍而上到了你的毛巾上，包括你馬桶上的點(diǎn)點(diǎn)滴滴亦如此。

While most of these microbes aren't likely to harm you, given that most of them probably came from your own body, they're there, and they're multiplying quickly.
盡管多數(shù)微生物并不會危害你，因?yàn)槎鄶?shù)來自你的身體。微生物就在那兒，飛速成倍增長。

When you wick moisture from your body, the microbes and other secretions such as cellular debris that live on the surface of your body get deposited onto your towel.
身體水分蒸發(fā)時，身體表面的細(xì)胞碎屑和空氣里的沉淀物等微生物和其它分泌物會沉積到毛巾上。

It's hard to say whether the microbes growing on your towel are harmful, since most germs in our households aren't dangerous.
很難說生長在你毛巾上的微生物是否有害，畢竟家里多數(shù)細(xì)菌并不危險。

美國環(huán)境健康教授KellyA.Reynolds說：“浴巾用完，每次都晾曬的話，可以重復(fù)使用3次?！?/p>

勤快清洗的話，一條浴巾你可以用上10年！
