键盘多久清理一次？
吼，或许您早已从各种渠道知晓了下面的生活常识：您的电脑键盘比家里卫生间的马桶圈更脏。
In fact, an Australian study found that the typical desk has 400 times the amount of bacteria found on a toilet seat.
事实上，澳大利亚的一项研究发现，键帽上的细菌数量是坐便器上的400倍。
Toilet seats actually harbour around 50 bacteria per square inch, making that a relatively un-germy zone. Not so with the computer, especially those shared by multiple people.
马桶圈实际上每平方英寸大约有50个细菌，这使得它成为一个相对干净的家庭设施。计算机却并非如此，尤其是由多人共享的计算机。
One Chicago hospital found that its computer keyboards held drug-resistant strains of Staphylococcus like MRSA for up to 24 hours.
芝加哥一家医院发现，MRSA等葡萄球菌耐药菌株可以在电脑键盘上持续存活24小时。
Another hospital in the Netherlands studied 100 of its keyboards and found that 95 tested positive for Streptococcus, Staphylococcus, and other pathogens, making them the dirtiest surfaces in the intensive care unit.
荷兰的另一家医院化验了100个键盘，发现95个对链球菌、葡萄球菌和其他病原体测试呈阳性。换句话说，它们就是出现在重症监护病房中最脏的东西。
Considering how frequently we use computers, it's understandable that dirt constantly gets lodged in between the keys. We've all rushed to type something quickly after being out and about, eaten meals at our computers, and typed while simultaneously dealing with sticky substances.Those of us who use computers at work talk, sneeze, and cough on the keys all day long, too.
考虑到我们使用计算机的频率，可以理解的是，灰尘不断地存在于键帽之间。我们在外面回来匆匆打开电脑，急切地打字回应某些人和事;我们的电脑屏幕前吃饭，毫不在意手指上潮湿油腻的物质粘在键盘上;我们在工作中每天操作电脑数个小时，一整天都在键盘上说话、打喷嚏和咳嗽。
When to clean your keyboard
何时清理键盘
Most microbiologists agree that everyone should wipe down their desk and keyboard at least once a week.
大多数微生物学家都认同：每个人应该至少每周清洁一次办公桌和为键盘消一次毒。
Doctors and nurses at the National Center for Health Research (NCHR) suggest that hospital keyboards should be disinfected much more often, though: at least once per day. The NCHR also suggests washing hands before and after using any shared computers, especially during flu season.
国家卫生研究中心(NCHR)的医生和护士建议，医院的键盘应该经常消毒，切记：至少每天一次。 NCHR还建议在使用任何公共电脑之前和之后需要洗手，特别是在流感爆发期间。
If you're the only one using your computer (and you're not touching many people throughout the day), most of the bacteria on your keyboard comes from your own hands and fingertips, so it probably isn't doing you any harm.
如果你只用自己的个人电脑，且你的个人电脑也只有你一个人使用(同时，你基本不会接触到外人——换而言之，你是个*宅)，那么键盘上的大部分细菌都来自你自己的手和指尖，所以它可能不会对你造成任何伤害。
Still, wash your hands frequently to keep your desk space clean for longer.
不过，请经常洗手以保持办公空间的清洁。
How to clean your keyboard
如何清理键盘
Cleaning and disinfecting your keyboard is a simple process, and it works.
清洁和消毒您的键盘是一个简单的过程，它的效果也很明显。
First, shut the computer down and unplug it before you start disinfecting. Then get rid of any crumbs or grit stuck on the keyboard with a can of compressed air before giving the keys a wipe.
首先，在开始消毒之前关闭计算机并拔下电源插头。然后在擦拭之前，用一罐压缩空气清除键盘缝隙里的碎屑或尘埃。
Cleaning expert Melissa Maker recommends using a solution of equal parts water and rubbing alcohol, and applying it using a microfiber cloth.You can also use a q-tip dipped in alcohol to get between the keys.
清洁专家Melissa Maker建议使用等量的水和酒精混合成擦拭溶液，并使用超细纤维布涂抹。您也可以使用浸过酒精的q-tip棉签清洁键帽之间的缝隙。
While you're at it, consider giving your phone a cleansing swipe, too. Smartphones can easily pick up E. coli and Streptococcus bugs because we handle them so frequently and take them everywhere with us.
当你处理完键盘的时候，可以顺手擦拭一下手机。智能手机上布满大量的大肠杆菌和链球菌，因为我们每个人都随身携带手机，就连方便的时候也要拿在手里。
Philip Tierno, a microbiologist and pathologist at the New York University School of Medicine suggests giving your phone a good wipe down at the end of each day.
纽约大学医学院的微生物学家和病理学家Philip Tierno建议，最好在每天睡觉前给你的手机消消毒。
