露西的一天 第16期:梳洗化妝講解(5)

A woman has something happen to her every month, what we would call her period, "period." 女性每個月都要經(jīng)歷的一件事，我們叫做月經(jīng)(period)。

Her period is when blood leaves her body, and that is part of her menstrual cycle. 月經(jīng)就是身體流血，這是月經(jīng)周期的一部分。

Menstrual, "menstrual," means monthly. So, this is something that men do not have to worry about. 月經(jīng)的(Menstrual)是指每個月都會有。男性不需要操心這件事。

But in this case, Lucy has hairdryers and tampons in her bathroom. 在這里，露西在衛(wèi)生間里放了衛(wèi)生棉條和電吹風(fēng)。

"I start by rinsing my mouth," Lucy says. That is, when she first walks in to her bathroom she begins to clean up by rinsing her mouth out, or "rinsing her mouth." 露西說，“我開始漱口”。也就是她走進衛(wèi)生間就開始洗漱，首先清理口腔，或者叫“漱口”。

To rinse, "rinse," means to clean with water. She rinses "with some mouthwash before" she flosses. 漱(rinse)意思是用水清洗。她“先用漱口水”漱口，然后用牙線清理牙齒。

So, she takes some liquid mouthwash, "mouthwash," (one word) which is a kind of liquid soap for your teeth. 她用的是液體漱口水。漱口水(mouthwash)是牙齒的液體肥皂。

It helps clean your teeth and make your breath smell better, or at least it's supposed to. 理論上來說，它可以幫助清潔牙齒，清新口氣。
