ESL露西的一天 第15期:梳洗化妆讲解(4)(在线收听

   Hairdryers and tampons are two things that I do not use as a man.   电吹风和卫生棉条这两样东西,我一个男人用不上。

  A hairdryer, "hairdryer," (one word) is a machine that you use to, you can guess, dry your hair.  电吹风(hairdryer),顾名思义,是你用来吹干头发的机器。
  So, when you wash your hair and it is wet, you can use a hairdryer to make sure that it becomes dry. 洗完头头发还湿的时候,你可以用电吹风,让头发变干。
  I don't use a hairdryer because I don't have any hair.  我不用吹风机,因为我没有头发。
  When I was young man and a boy I had hair, and I would use a hairdryer, but not anymore. 我年轻的时候还有头发,也会用电吹风,但以后不会用了。
  A tampon, "tampon," is something that I have never used. 卫生棉条(tampon)我从来不用。
  A tampon is something that a woman or a girl would use, a girl between the age of 12 and up to a women of the age of 55 or 60 perhaps would have to use a tampon every month. 卫生棉条是女性或者说女孩子们用的,从12岁的女孩到55或者60岁的女性可能每个月都要用卫生棉条。
  This is something that men do not have to do.  男性就不用做这件事。
  Basically, a tampon is a long, thin piece of cotton that a woman puts in her body to absorb or to prevent blood from coming out of her body during each month.  一般卫生棉条是又长又细的一块棉,女性放进体内吸收经血或者防止血流出来,每个月都用。
  I don't think I need to say more. 我觉得无须多说。
