ESL露西的一天 第24期:梳洗化妆(2)

 　　I share a bathroom with my roommate, which is usually not a problem.  我和我室友共用卫生间，这也不成问题。

　　We each try to keep the sink, the tub, and the toilet clean, and we have separate medicine cabinets to keep our things. 我们用完洗手盆、浴缸还有马桶之后都会及时打扫，保证干净，药柜是分开的，可以自己放自己的东西。

　　There’s also room under the sink for our hairdryers and tampons.  洗手盆下方也有地方可以放电吹风和卫生棉条。

　　I start out by rinsing¹ my mouth with some mouthwash before flossing.   我先用漱口水漱口，再用牙线清理牙齿。

　　Then, I take out my toothbrush and toothpaste and brush my teeth.  然后，我拿出牙刷牙膏开始刷牙。

　　I only wash my hair every other day so I put on a shower cap and don’t have to get out my shampoo and conditioner. 我每两天洗一次头，洗澡的时候戴上浴帽，也不用拿洗发水和护发素出来。

　　I like to take bubble baths when I have time, but on a busy morning, a shower will have to do.  有时间的时候我喜欢洗泡泡浴，但是早上时间很紧张，冲个澡就可以了。

　　I lather² up quickly and give my legs a quick shave. 我打肥皂，刮腿毛都很快。

　　I don’t wear a lot of make-up to work so I just put on a little blush and a light-colored lipstick³, and skip the mascara and eye shadow. 上班的时候我一般不化太浓的妆，只打一点点腮红，涂浅色的口红，不涂睫毛膏和眼影。

　　I put a few hot curlers in my hair and I’m ready for breakfast! 在头发上卷几个卷发器就可以吃早餐啦！
