CNN News: 新研究表明蚊子喜歡叮咬體味重的人

Which of these animals hibernates in winter? Tree squirrel, mosquito, monarch butterfly or silverfish. Mosquitoes are the only animals on this list that enter diapause, a hibernation-like period of shutting down for the cold winter months.

下列哪種動(dòng)物會(huì)在冬天冬眠？松鼠、蚊子、帝王蝶還是衣魚(yú)？蚊子是上述名單中唯一會(huì)進(jìn)入滯育期的動(dòng)物，滯育期與冬眠類(lèi)似，即在寒冷的冬季停止活動(dòng)。

So that explains why the pesky pests always come back in the summer, and when they do, why do they always seem to bite some people more often than others? Scientists say there are a number of things mosquitoes are attracted to. Strongly scented soaps are believed to get their attention along with certain deodorants and perfume. The increased carbon dioxide we give off when we're exercising can create a buzz among the insects, as well as our sweat. As far as clothing goes, researchers are divided over whether it's bright or dark clothes that make us easier for mosquitoes to spot but a recent study has found that different types of body odor could make some people more prone to mosquito bites than others.

這也解釋了這種令人討厭的害蟲(chóng)總是在夏季出現(xiàn)的原因，而那時(shí)，為什么與其他人相比，有些人總是更容易被蚊子叮咬？科學(xué)家表示，蚊子會(huì)被一些事情吸引。據(jù)信，香味濃郁的香皂、某些除臭劑和香水會(huì)引來(lái)蚊子。我們?cè)阱憻挄r(shí)會(huì)釋放出更多的二氧化碳，增加的二氧化碳和我們的汗水也會(huì)吸引蚊子。至于亮色衣服還是深色衣服會(huì)使我們更容易成為蚊子的目標(biāo)，研究人員意見(jiàn)不一，不過(guò)最近的一項(xiàng)研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，不同類(lèi)型的狐臭可能令一些人比他人更易被蚊子叮咬。

Is there anything that could be done about that? Maybe one day if a drug is designed that can change those odors. Could that have side effects of its own? Yes, but because of the diseases they carry mosquitoes are responsible for more human deaths than any other animal.

有沒(méi)有解決方法？也許有一天會(huì)有藥物能改變這些臭味。這是否會(huì)有副作用？會(huì)，但由于蚊子會(huì)攜帶疾病，因此其引發(fā)的死亡人數(shù)比其他任何動(dòng)物都要多。
