英语悠选脱口秀 第135期:上厕所玩手机会有细菌吗

 讲解

Today's key word is Germ

Germ g-e-r-m

微生物 细菌

Germ is something that can produce disease.

Here is an example:

This germ is found on things used by the patients.

这种细菌会附着在病人使用过的东西上。

没错！今天我们要讲的就是细菌Germ！

I just watched a video produced by BuzzFeed. And the name of this video is "We Tested Our Phones For Germs And Found Some Disgusting Shit”

怎么回事呢？视频里一个女孩把自己的同事叫出来，测试他们手机上到底存在着什么样的细菌。

为什么会在手机上取样呢？

Nowadays, most of us are basically glued（胶 黏贴） to our phones. We take our phone everywhere. 在洗手间的时候你用不用手机啊？！

Have you ever used your phone in the bathroom? (Don't worry, we all have.)

And let's face it, we do touch dirty things throughout the day. 摸过脏东西的手，再去摸手机，自然会把一些细菌转移到手机上面。

We wash our hands, but barely clean our phones! 那我们的手机到底是个什么情况呢？

刚听说要测试自己的手机时，人们的反应是这样滴：

“No oh god oh my gosh here is my poop phone.

Yes, it's very scary. I don't know why I am so nervous. This reminds me I have to get tested!

I hope no one I ever try to date sees this video. This thing is going to be a huge mess! But I love it anyway. ”
