You're making a huge mistake every time you put a houseplant in soil.

每次把家庭盆栽放在土壤裡都是一個巨大的錯誤。

程度副詞

基礎被動語態

And what does Moto Moto from the 2008 hit film Madagascar 2 Escape to Africa have to do with all this?

2008 年熱門電影《馬拉加西 2 逃出非洲》中的摩托 Moto 與這一切又有什麼關係呢？

I've spent so many hours looking at solutions, and now I'm going to share with you why my life has gotten so much better since moving away from those nasty, soggy, and frankly massive bags of soil from home.

我已經花了很多時間研究解決方案，現在我要和你們分享一下，為什麼自從搬離了家裡那些噁心、潮溼、大包小包的土壤後，我的生活變得如此美好。

But first, there are a couple things that you need to know.

Starting with- Starting with- Start- Hey, are you good?

開始--開始--開始--嘿，你還好嗎？

You ever notice how every time you buy a plant, it comes with an uninvited gang of tiny suicidal bullies that raid your house and make you never want to buy another plant again?

你有沒有注意到，每次你買一盆植物時，它都會不請自來，帶著一幫有自殺傾向的小惡霸闖進你家，讓你再也不想買一盆植物？

You know, it kind of sounds like a skill issue.

你知道，這聽起來有點像技能問題。

You might want to get rid of all of your plants right now.

你可能現在就想把所有植物都扔掉。

順便說一句，你不是問題所在。

This probably isn't your first time dealing with these little assholes.

你可能不是第一次和這些小混蛋打交道了。

So you do what probably most other people do.

所以，你做了大多數人都會做的事。

You grab your bottle of neem oil, you grab your pesticides, you grab those little sticky pads that Amazon kept trying to sell me for a while.

你拿起你的印楝油瓶子，你拿起你的殺蟲劑，你拿起那些亞馬遜一直想賣給我的小粘墊。

And if that doesn't work, you just douse all your plants in lighter fluid and burn your entire apartment complex to the- Guys, I'm just kidding.

如果還不行，你就把所有植物都澆上打火機油，然後把整個公寓樓燒成灰燼--夥計們，我只是開個玩笑。

I mean, the first part's a pretty decent response, all things considered.

我的意思是，從各方面考慮，第一部分的回答還算不錯。

But you already made a couple of mistakes that you could have avoided at the very beginning.

但你已經犯了幾個錯誤，這些錯誤在一開始就可以避免。

Let me explain by talking a little bit about- Fungus gnats, baby!

I harbor an unbelievable amount of anger towards these little fellas, always eating my plants and flying up my nose and whatnot.

我對這些小傢伙懷有難以想象的憤怒，它們總是吃我的植物，還飛到我的鼻子上什麼的。

And why is it that when one appears, dozens appear?

為什麼當一個人出現時，會有幾十個人出現？

To answer these questions, I took to the internet.

為了回答這些問題，我上網查詢。

More specifically, I went to Wikipedia, where I made a couple of shocking discoveries.

更具體地說，我查閱了維基百科，在那裡我有了幾個令人震驚的發現。

I mean, not technically, but I did get a couple of things wrong.

我的意思是，嚴格來說不是，但我確實弄錯了幾件事。

Okay, so first, and actually really interestingly, did you know that some gnats have antifreeze proteins that allow them to live in colder climates?

好了，首先，實際上非常有趣的是，你知道有些蚋具有防凍蛋白質，可以讓它們在寒冷的氣候中生存嗎？

You could put the most expensive watch in the world on these guys and they still wouldn't have ice in their veins.

你可以給這些人戴上世界上最昂貴的手錶，但他們的血管裡仍然沒有冰。

And second, fungus gnats don't actually harm your plant at all.

其次，蚋實際上根本不會傷害你的植物。

That's because they are detritivores, which means that they eat decaying matter and fungus and stuff like that.

這是因為它們是食腐動物，也就是說，它們吃腐爛物質和真菌之類的東西。

And apparently, like a pilot on diuretics, they're pretty shitty flyers, which is why they tend to prefer to walk on the surface of the soil, and it's also the reason why they always end up in your nose.

很顯然，就像服用利尿劑的飛行員一樣，它們的飛行能力很差，這就是為什麼它們往往喜歡在土壤表面行走，也是為什麼它們總是跑到你鼻子裡的原因。

對於健康的植物來說，這完全沒有問題。

There's usually not a whole lot of decay happening under the surface.

通常情況下，表面下不會有太多的腐爛現象。

There's nothing for the fungus, or the fungus gnats, to munch on.

When your roots begin to rot, they start to attract fungus, and more importantly, fungus gnats.

當你的根開始腐爛時，它們就開始吸引真菌，更重要的是，真菌蚋。

I know it's easier said than done, but just stop killing your plants and you won't have to worry about them again.

我知道說起來容易做起來難，但只要停止殺戮植物，你就再也不用擔心它們了。

Except that's stupid advice, and my plants aren't dying.

但這是個愚蠢的建議，我的植物並沒有死。

Why are there so many fungus gnats in my apartment, and what am I supposed to do about that?

為什麼我的公寓裡有這麼多蚋，我該怎麼辦？

My description from earlier was set in a joking tone, but I'm dead serious.

我剛才的描述是開玩笑的，但我是認真的。

But as massive and soggy and leaky as these bags are, they do serve their purpose.

不過，雖然這些袋子又大又溼又漏水，但它們確實起到了作用。

They're cheap, and more importantly, they're accessible.

它們很便宜，更重要的是，它們很容易獲得。

Because if you're going to put all your money towards buying the coolest plant you can find, you don't want to have to worry about what kind of dirt you put it in, and besides, it's dirt.

因為如果你打算把所有的錢都用來購買你能找到的最酷的植物，你就不想擔心你把它放在什麼樣的泥土裡，況且，那也是泥土。

How dangerous could it really be for a plant?

And it's not your fault for thinking that way, it's how I thought before I learned so much about plants that my brain went from a perfectly spherical, frictionless, aerodynamic slab of meat, to having one entire wrinkle.

你這麼想並不是你的錯，我就是這麼想的，在我學習了很多關於植物的知識之前，我的大腦從一個完美的球形、無摩擦、符合空氣動力學的肉板，變成了有一整條皺紋的肉板。

Now as if being left in the rain for some godforsaken reason wasn't bad enough, you might notice that the bags tend to have these little holes all over them.

如果說因為某些該死的原因而被丟在雨中還不夠糟糕的話，你可能會注意到，這些袋子上往往會有一些小洞。

I thought it was a mistake, but they're supposed to be there if you can believe it.

我以為是弄錯了，但如果你相信的話，它們應該就在那裡。

These bags contain a ton of decomposing matter.

這些袋子裡有大量的腐爛物質。

So to keep the bags from exploding like the egg that your high school buddy thought he could hardboil by putting in the microwave, they put a bunch of holes in the bags.

是以，為了防止包裝袋像你的高中同學以為放進微波爐就能煮熟的雞蛋一樣爆炸，他們在包裝袋上打了很多洞。

That just so happens to let in a whole bunch of bugs.

Somebody get this guy a comedy award.  Who is that?

給這傢伙頒個喜劇獎吧  他是誰？

是以，孔洞的結果是顯而易見的。

It lets in bugs, and those bugs, when you bring them into your house, spread to all of your other plants, causing you to rip out your hair trying to get rid of them.

它會讓蟲子進來，當你把它們帶進家裡時，這些蟲子就會傳播到你的所有其他植物上，導致你為了趕走它們而扯斷頭髮。

It wouldn't even be so bad if the bugs would pay rent, but I've heard it's very difficult for bugs to get hired these days.

如果蟲子們能付房租，那還不算太糟，但我聽說現在蟲子們很難被僱傭。

I'll tell you what you can do to get rid of the bugs in just a second, because there are alternatives.

我馬上就會告訴你如何才能擺脫這些蟲子，因為還有其他辦法。

But first, there's another reason that you probably shouldn't be using soil at all.

但首先，還有一個原因讓你覺得根本不應該使用土壤。

And you can probably take a guess just by looking in this clear cup, but if you can't, let me explain.

只要看看這個透明的杯子，你大概就能猜出來，如果猜不出來，那就讓我來解釋一下。

Except that I'm stupid, because I never actually define to you what soil is.

只是我很蠢，因為我從來沒有向你真正定義過什麼是土壤。

If you think it's just dirt, I mean, you're like kind of right, but it's a little bit more complicated than that.

如果你認為這只是汙垢，我的意思是，你說得有點對，但事情比這複雜得多。

For the purposes of this video, whenever I talk about soil, I am talking about a non-sterile, organic potting medium that usually contains compost and other minerals like that.

在本視頻中，我所說的土壤是指未經消毒的有機盆栽介質，通常含有堆肥和其他礦物質。

I hope that clears up a little bit of confusion.

Your plant's roots are the most important part of its body.

植物的根系是其身體最重要的部分。

They don't just take in water, they take in air, nutrients, and if you're not careful, harmful bacteria.

它們不僅吸收水分，還吸收空氣和養分，如果不小心，還會吸收有害細菌。
