ESL杰夫的一天 第11期:清洁(1)

 　　I go into my bathroom sometime around 6:45 a.m. 我在早上6点45分左右去卫生间。

　　My sink and medicine cabinet are on the left when you enter my bathroom. 当你进入我的卫生间时，你会看到水槽和药柜在左边。

　　The toilet is next to that, with the tub in front. 它们的旁边是马桶，前面是浴缸。

　　Anyway, I turn on the lights, and try to find the mouthwash in the medicine cabinet. 不管怎样，我打开灯，并在药柜里翻寻漱口水。

　　I pour a small amount into a cup, swish it around for 30 seconds, gargle, and spit. 我在杯子里倒入少量的漱口水，将它含在口中快速地来回移动约30秒，然后漱口，最后吐掉。

　　Not pleasant, but necessary. 用它虽不愉快，但却有必要用。

　　Then I get out the floss. 然后拿出牙线。

　　When I'm done flossing, I pull out the toothbrush and the toothpaste. 用牙线清洁好牙齿后，我就取出牙刷和牙膏来刷牙。

　　I brush and then it's off to the shower. 刷完牙后，就要去沐浴了。

　　I pull the shower curtain aside, step into the tub, and pull the curtain back. 我先把浴帘拉到一边，踏入浴缸，然后拉回浴帘。

　　I turn on both the hot and the cold water, looking for the perfect temperature. 我把冷水和热水水龙头都打开，为的是能找到最合适的水温。

　　I lather¹ up with soap, put some shampoo in my hair, then rinse² and dry off. 接着在身上抹肥皂，在头上倒一些洗发水，然后用水冲洗并擦干。

　　Now it's shaving time. 现在该刮胡子了。

　　I used to own an electric razor, but I found it didn't shave close enough. 我本来有个电动剃须刀，但它却不能把胡子剃干净。

　　So now I'm back to the old hand razor. 所以现在我又用原来的手动剃须刀。

　　I lather up with shaving cream, and I start to shave. 我先在脸部涂上剃须膏，然后开始刮胡子，

　　I rinse the razor and throw the disposable blades in the trash. 刮完后就冲洗剃须刀并扔掉一次性刀片。

　　It's about 7:00 AM, and I'm on to breakfast. 一切都结束后就到了七点左右，我就要去吃早餐了。
