时差N小时 痣

Don:I have the weirdest² looking mole³ under my arm.

唐:我的胳膊下面有个看起来非常奇怪的痣。

Yael:Hold it. Put that arm back down.

雅艾尔:别动。把胳膊放下来吧。

I don't want to see your weird¹ mole.

我不想看到你那奇葩的痣。

Why don't you just tell me what's weird about it?

你为什么不告诉我究竟哪里不对劲呢?

DON:Well, it's not a round dot like my other moles⁴, but more like a flesh-colored raisin⁵.

唐:嗯, 这不像我其他的小圆点痣,倒更像一个肉色的葡萄干。

The way it's attached to my skin, it stretches outward like a tiny appendage⁶.

它附加在我的皮肤上, 像个小附属物般向外延伸。

YAEL:It sounds like you're talking about a skin tag, not a mole.

雅艾尔:听起来你是在谈论皮赘,而不是痣。

It's a common mistake to confuse the two.

这是很容易将二者混淆的常见错误。

The scientific term for a skin tag is acrochordon, and it's simply a flesh-colored growth that hangs from the skin by a thin piece of tissue called a stalk.

科学术语称皮赘为软垂疣,它只是被称为蒂样细组织的一种肉色增长附着在皮肤表面。

They're more common as people age, especially in women.

随着人们年龄的增长更为常见,特别是对于女性而言。

DON:What causes it?

唐:是什么造成的呢?

YAEL:What causes skin tags is unknown, but they do appear more frequently in areas where the skin is rubbed by clothing or by other body parts, such as in creases⁷ like your underarm.

雅艾尔:什么引发皮赘仍未可知,但往往多出现在由衣服或身体其他摩擦部位的皮肤处,比如你的腋下。

They also tend to appear in hot, moist places such as under the breasts, between the thighs⁸, or around the genitals.

它们也倾向于出现在如胸部,大腿之间,生殖器周围等燥热,潮湿的地方。

DON:Please tell me I don't have to get these things checked for cancer like I do with my moles.

唐:请告诉我,我是不是需要像对待自己的痣一样用这些东西来检查癌症。

YAEL:I have good news and bad news.

雅艾尔:有好消息和坏消息。

DON:Give me the good news.

唐:先听好消息。

YAEL:Skin tags are never cancerous.

雅艾尔:皮赘从不癌变。

DON:That is good news. But then, I can't imagine what the bad news is.

唐:这是好消息。那我想象不出还有什么是坏消息。

YAEL:Because people so often confuse moles for skin tags, you should monitor them just as you do your moles.

雅艾尔:因为人们经常将痣和皮赘混淆,你就应该关注它们,就像你对皮赘所做的一样。

If you notice changes or anything that would be suspicious in a mole, you should have your doctor check it.

如果你注意到变化或任何可疑,你应该马上去看医生。
