趣味英语第232期:脏牛仔裤能穿多长时间再洗?（在线收听）

How is there a guy named "sampath"?

怎么会有人叫“萨姆帕斯？”

Sampath Widushan asks...

萨姆帕斯·威杜山问道：

"How long can I wear dirty jeans before having to wash them?"

“在不得不洗之前，脏牛仔裤能穿多长时间？”

(incredulously) You wash your jeans? That's what you're supposed to do?

（难以置信）你洗牛仔裤？这是你应该做的吗？

Once they start to smell, I'd wash them.

有味道以后我就会洗。

If you get really dirty, then you can wash them. But if they're not that dirty, you can probably still wear them.

如果牛仔裤非常脏，那你可以洗。但如果牛仔裤没有那么脏，那你还可以继续穿。

I'd say you can wear dirty jeans for about two, maybe three days. If they're dark jeans and you spill something on them, you know, when you wipe it off, it blends in with the jeans, so that way you can't see it.

我想脏牛仔裤可以穿两三天左右。如果是深色牛仔裤，你不小心把东西洒在上面，那在你将东西擦掉时，它会和你的牛仔裤混在一起，这样你就看不到了。

Two days! If you're just not going to be anywhere dirty, you could probably wear the jeans one more day.

两天！如果牛仔裤不会脏到哪里去，那你可以再穿一天。

Definitely wash them by the fourth day, because they're just nasty by then. Nasty.

一定要在第四天洗，因为那时已经很脏了。非常脏。

I think five wear-throughs is right about the limit.

我认为五次磨损是极限。

If you're really clean, you could probably push eight, if you really, just really take care of them.

如果牛仔裤很干净，可以穿8天再洗，要好好爱护牛仔裤。

Probably the max is gonna be a year.

最长时间可能是一年。

When I was a teenager, we used to wear Levis without washing them for, like, a year.

我十几岁的时候经常穿李维斯牛仔裤，大概一年都不洗。

I just read a fascinating article that say we need to be washing certain things a lot more often, jeans being one of them. So when you consider where your jeans have gone and what you're sitting in, then you might want to think about washing them a little more often.

我刚看了一篇有趣的文章，文章说我们需要更频繁地清洗一些东西，牛仔裤就是其中之一。在你想你的牛仔裤去哪里了，还有你坐在什么上面时，你可能会想洗的勤一些。
