ESL杰夫的一天 第22期:清洁讲解(11)

 　　The thing I use to get rid of the hair is the razor, "razor." 我是用剃须刀（razor）来去除毛发的。

　　A razor is like a knife, it has a blade, "blade," and the blade is the thing that actually cuts the hair — that removes the hair. 剃须刀就像小刀，它有刀片（blade），事实上是刀片在剔除毛发——去除毛发的。

　　So, you have a razor that you use to shave the whiskers from your face. 因此，你有一把剔除脸上胡须的剃须刀。

　　A whisker, "whisker," is the name we give the hair on your face, at least for a man, we call those whiskers. 胡须（whisker），是脸上毛发的名称，反正对男人来说，我们称之为胡须。

　　So, you can have an electric razor, like I used to have, or you can have a hand razor.  所以，你既可以像我以前那样，有个电动剃须刀，也可以有个手动剃须刀。

　　A hand razor is one that is not electric that you just take and you shave by moving the razor back and forth¹ on your face. 手动剃须刀不是电动的，你得拿着它并在脸上来回移动来刮胡子。

　　Before I shave, I have to "lather² up with shaving cream." 在刮胡子之前，我得“先在脸部涂上剃须膏。”

　　We already know that word, lather up, it means to mix the soap with water and make bubbles so that it spreads across your skin. 我们已经知道“lather up”这个词，它的意思是把水与肥皂相混合并揉擦产生泡沫，这样它就能遍及你的皮肤。
