露西的一天 第16期:梳洗化妆讲解(5)

A woman has something happen to her every month, what we would call her period, "period." 女性每个月都要经历的一件事，我们叫做月经(period)。

Her period is when blood leaves her body, and that is part of her menstrual cycle. 月经就是身体流血，这是月经周期的一部分。

Menstrual, "menstrual," means monthly. So, this is something that men do not have to worry about. 月经的(Menstrual)是指每个月都会有。男性不需要操心这件事。

But in this case, Lucy has hairdryers and tampons in her bathroom. 在这里，露西在卫生间里放了卫生棉条和电吹风。

"I start by rinsing my mouth," Lucy says. That is, when she first walks in to her bathroom she begins to clean up by rinsing her mouth out, or "rinsing her mouth." 露西说，“我开始漱口”。也就是她走进卫生间就开始洗漱，首先清理口腔，或者叫“漱口”。

To rinse, "rinse," means to clean with water. She rinses "with some mouthwash before" she flosses. 漱(rinse)意思是用水清洗。她“先用漱口水”漱口，然后用牙线清理牙齿。

So, she takes some liquid mouthwash, "mouthwash," (one word) which is a kind of liquid soap for your teeth. 她用的是液体漱口水。漱口水(mouthwash)是牙齿的液体肥皂。

It helps clean your teeth and make your breath smell better, or at least it's supposed to. 理论上来说，它可以帮助清洁牙齿，清新口气。
