时差N小时 除臭味的袜子(上)

Hey,Yael.Check out my new high-tech¹ socks.

嘿,雅艾尔。看看我这双最新款高科技的袜子。

Still like boring old socks, Don.

唐，这就是双土里土气的旧袜子嘛。

What's so high-tech about them?

高科技是指内有乾坤吗?

They are woven from an odor eating material that also kills athlete's foot fungus².

这种袜子是使用具有除臭功能同时还能杀死脚癣真菌的材料所编织。

Not only that, but the treatment in the fabric³ survives washing and will last the life of the socks.

不仅如此,织物中的物质不会被清洗干扰并且会在袜子中持续维持功效。

Odor eating socks are similar to odor eating insoles.

这种除臭袜子和除臭鞋垫类似。

The insoles are latex pads that fit inside your shoes and contain activated⁴ charcoal⁵.

除臭鞋垫是适合你鞋的乳胶垫,并且其中包含活性炭。

Activated charcoal is basically carbon with a strong ability to bind⁶ and neutralize⁷ other substances-like the sweat from feet, or odor causing bacteria.

活性炭基本上是能够吸附及中和比如从脚汗或导致细菌气味其他物质的强力碳。

But as more and more stinky substances are neutralized⁸, the charcoal becomes used up and the insoles begin to lose their effectiveness.

但随着越来越多的臭味物质被中和,木炭被耗尽鞋垫开始失去除臭效果。
