News flash! Kissing is dirty and disgusting

新聞快報！接吻是件骯髒和噁心的事

and also kinda great for your health. Take that daggers.

但卻又有益健康。讓我們來看看吧

Hey guys, TARA here for Dnews and everybody loves kissing right?

嗨各位，我是TARA ，大家都喜歡接吻對吧？

That's a thing. Well, according to a new study it's actually a very disgusting thing that also really great for health.

是的，根據研究顯示，接吻是非常骯髒的一件事，但卻對健康有益。

A paper published this week in the journal microbiota can tell where I'm going with this

這週微生物期刊所發表的一篇論文，可以佐證我剛剛的說法

so that just a ten-second French kiss can spread up to eighty million bacteria between mouth.

只要10秒的法式熱吻，就可以在嘴巴之間傳播散佈超過八千萬的細菌

This is a study conducted on 21 couples who agreed to have their tongues swapped before and after a ten-second long French kiss.

這是對21對伴侶所進行的研究。他們同意讓他們的舌頭前後翻轉攪和，進行10秒鐘的法式熱吻

Based on that experiments scientists discovered that people who are in committed relationships tend to harbor similar collections of bacteria on their tongues.

根據這個實驗，科學家發現，穩定交往中的人們彼此的舌頭會有相似的細菌

And more often they kiss, the more bacteria they seem to share.

越常接吻，會分享給彼此越多相近的細菌

To find out exactly how similar those bacteria were,

為了精確得知伴侶到底會彼此分享多少相似的細菌

researchers repeated the experiment but this time they instructed one of the partners in each relationship to partake in a probiotic yogurt drink.

科學家又再做了一次實驗，但這次他們讓每對伴侶的其中一位，先喝了帶有益生菌的優格

And then wait a little bit before making out with their significant other.

並等待一陣子後再與另一半接吻

Sure enough the probiotic bacteria which are normally found in a person's mouth transferred over to their partner along with eighty million other bacteria.

非常確定的是在那位喝下優格的人口中找到的益生菌會和其他八千萬個細菌一起移轉到另一半口中

It sounds kinda gross!

這聽起來有點噁心吧

But keep in mind that as long as you're not transferring any infectious pathogens,

但記住，只要你不是傳遞什麼病原體

increasing the diversity of the bacteria in your body is actually a very good thing.

增加身體內的細菌多樣性事實上是件好事

According to Remco Courts, the author of the study,

根據接吻研究的作者Remco Courts的說法

kissing is essentially a former immunization enabling you to build up a resistance by exposing yourself to more indifferent kinds of microorganisms.

接吻是一種防疫動作，藉由多接觸一些無傷大雅的細菌讓你可以建立更多的抗體

So next time you find yourself at a club flirting with an attractive lady,

所以下次當你在夜店裡跟一個美麗的女孩調情時

just try using this pick up line! ''Hey baby, wanna diversify your microbiome?''

就試試看用這種調情方法吧！「嘿寶貝，想要增加微生物的多樣性嗎？」

Works every time. What you guys think about this?

這招屢試不爽。你們覺得這集新聞如何呢？

Any thoughts, any amazing pick up lines you'd like to share with the class

任何想法、任何了不起的調情方法，你想分享給我們的話
