英文原文

Today we explore the human body, specifically we take a tour of our largest - the skin.

今天我們要探索人體，具體來(lái)說(shuō)，我們要了解我們身體上最大的器官——皮膚。

Skin is not only large, it is important.

皮膚不僅面積大，而且非常重要。

One of its jobs is to protect us. It keeps bad things out, but sometimes it fails.

它的一個(gè)功能就是保護(hù)我們。它能阻擋有害物質(zhì)進(jìn)入，但有時(shí)也會(huì)失效。

Extremely small bugs called mites can get under our skin, and when they do, they cause itching and great discomfort.

一種極小的昆蟲(chóng)叫做螨蟲(chóng)，能夠進(jìn)入我們的皮膚，當(dāng)它們進(jìn)入時(shí)，會(huì)引起瘙癢和極度不適。

So to get under someone's skin means to annoy them, or better still, to bug them. Get it?

所以，“get under someone's skin”這個(gè)短語(yǔ)的意思是惹惱某人，或者更確切地說(shuō)，煩擾他們。明白了嗎？

Mites are small bugs. Our skin fits tightly on our bodies. It holds in important things while keeping out harmful things.

螨蟲(chóng)是很小的昆蟲(chóng)。我們的皮膚緊緊貼附在我們的身體上。它能留住重要的東西，同時(shí)阻擋有害物質(zhì)。

So we can use a skin expression to describe very tight clothing. We can say that the outfit fits like a second skin.

所以我們可以用一個(gè)與皮膚有關(guān)的表達(dá)來(lái)形容非常緊身的衣服。我們可以說(shuō)這件衣服就像第二層皮膚一樣貼身。

There are many ways to describe people using the word "skin."

有許多方式可以用“skin”這個(gè)詞來(lái)形容人。

If someone is thick-skinned, they are not easily hurt emotionally. You can criticize them or be unkind to them, and it simply rolls off their back.

如果一個(gè)人是“thick-skinned”（厚臉皮），那么他們?cè)谇楦猩暇筒蝗菀资艿絺?。你可以批評(píng)他們或?qū)λ麄儾挥焉疲麄兏静划?dāng)回事。

Thin-skinned people, however, are easily hurt by criticism, even if it is not too severe.

然而，“thin-skinned”（臉皮?。┑娜撕苋菀资艿脚u(píng)的傷害，即使批評(píng)并不嚴(yán)重。

You have to be careful what you say to thin-skinned people, so as not to hurt their feelings.

你對(duì)“thin-skinned”的人說(shuō)話(huà)時(shí)必須要小心，以免傷害他們的感情。

If someone is suddenly very scared, you can say they nearly jumped out of their skin.

如果有人突然非常害怕，你可以說(shuō)他們幾乎要“jumped out of their skin”（嚇得跳了起來(lái)）。

For example, one day I saw my friend Sierra waiting at a bus stop. She was wearing headphones and did not hear me come up behind her. So when I touched her shoulder, she nearly jumped out of her skin.

例如，有一天我看到我的朋友西耶拉在等公共汽車(chē)。她戴著耳機(jī)，沒(méi)有聽(tīng)到我從后面走過(guò)來(lái)。所以當(dāng)我碰到她的肩膀時(shí)，她嚇得跳了起來(lái)。

If someone is too thin and looks sickly, you can say they are all skin and bones.

如果有人太瘦，看上去很虛弱，你可以說(shuō)他們“all skin and bones”（皮包骨頭）。
