Section 52 Washing五十二　洗滌

1.Did you know that the use of soap to wash the body is quite a relatively recent thing? 你知道時(shí)興用肥皂洗澡并不太久嗎?

2.No. What did they use before? 不知道。以前人們用什么呢?

3.Powders and perfume, I suppose. 我想是用粉和香料，

4.But people didn’t used to wash as much as we do today. 但是人們不像現(xiàn)在這樣常洗。

5.If you think about it, baths and showers were not used much until 100 years or so ago, or perhaps even less. 請(qǐng)你想一想，沐浴和洗澡，是近百年左右或者更近一點(diǎn)才比較普遍。

6.Yah. Showers in most countries are a recent habit. 對(duì)，在大多數(shù)國(guó)家，淋浴只是一種新的習(xí)慣。

7.What about saunas and Turkish baths? 那桑拿土耳其浴呢?

8.Well, the ancient Greeks and Romans had baths, and possibly they had steam bath too. That’s a bit like saunas. 古希臘和古羅馬也洗澡，他們大概也用蒸氣，有點(diǎn)像桑拿。

9.But no showers? 沒(méi)有淋浴嗎?

10.I don’t think so. And no shower jell to wash with, or shower caps to keep the hair dry. 我認(rèn)為不是這樣，而且沒(méi)有沐浴露，沒(méi)有防止頭發(fā)沾濕的浴帽。

11.I think that nowadays more people shower than bath, don’t you? 我想現(xiàn)在淋浴的人比泡澡的多，你認(rèn)為呢?

12.Yes. Well, you need a bigger room for a bath than a shower, don’t you? 沒(méi)錯(cuò)，泡澡比淋浴需要的窨更大，是嗎?

13.And showers are quicker, and don’t use so much water. 淋浴比較快，用的水也沒(méi)那么多。

14.That’s important with the modern concern about water consumption. 從現(xiàn)代水消費(fèi)的觀念來(lái)講，這一點(diǎn)很重要。

15.But I think it is more luxurious to relax in a hot bath. 我覺(jué)得在熱水里泡澡放松挺奢侈的。

16.Me too. 我也有同感。
