每日口說挑戰你需要多久洗一次澡 (How Often Do You Really Need to Shower?)

Thanks Ingrid!
=>不負責逐字稿=> Before we begin our episode today, I’d like to ask you guys a question: “Do you usually shower at night or in the morning?” Most people I know shower at night, but I’m the kind who showers in the morning. I do change into clean clothes before going to sleep, but I shower in the morning before I leave for work or school. I know some people might think it’s weird but I shower every day just like most of people. There are some people that only shower if they’re going out, I guess that could be alright if the weather is not too humid or too hot. And how often do you really need to shower anyway which brings us to today’s topic: Do we really need to shower every day? Is it possible that we’re wasting water washing ourselves when it’s actually okay to not shower for a while? [What did researchers find?] And is there a best time to shower? Go watch today’s video to find out with me, but before that, let’s practice today’s sentence. ‘You wash away the good bacteria and dry out your skin, which puts small cracks that put you in higher risk of infection.’

1-1. bacteria 細菌(複數)
bacterium [bækˋtɪrɪəm] 細菌(單數)
*You shouldn’t drink tap water(自來水) as there might be bacteria in it.

1-2. germ(n.)病菌
*Cathy has an irrational(荒謬的[ɪˋræʃən!] a.) fear of germs. She hasn’t shaken anyone’s hand in years.

2-1. crack (n.)裂縫，縫隙，裂口
*I dropped my phone on the floor this morning. That’s why there’s a crack on the screen.

2-2. crack(v.)使⋯破裂，使⋯產生裂紋
*His pants cracked in the middle when he tried to do splits (n.劈腿) in front of his friends.

3. risk(n.)風險，危險
*Scott is a safe person. He doesn’t like to take a risk.
+ risk(v.)冒風險做，使遭受危險
I’m not risking my life in that old car.

4. infection (n.)感染
*She became half-deaf(半聾的) because of a terrible ear infection when she was 10 years old.

Okay guys, that’s it for today’s pronunciation challenge. Be sure to leave a comment and recording. And after you do that, go watch today’s video because it’s an interesting topic.

缺乏好菌…那只好把益生菌抹在身上了（誤…）

☺You wash away the good bacteria and dry out your skin, which puts small cracks that put you in higher risk of infection.
你把身上的好菌給洗掉、又讓肌膚的水分流失，這樣會讓肌膚上多處有小的乾裂傷，提高病菌感染的風險。
【心得】Usually, I shower at night.
