標題:No Offense: How Americans Became Intolerant of Body Odor

正文：For centuries, the smell of rancid human sweat was a part of everyday life. Wherever there were people, there was body odor. A typical American in the 1800s might take just one bath a week, and the whole family would use the same water. Men working 14 hours in fields or factories and women who spent their days in a hot kitchen might only wash by splashing themselves with water from a basin. A warm bath was a luxury for the wealthy.

知識點：no offence( informal ) used to say that you do not mean to upset or insult sb by sth you say or do無冒犯之意

No offence, but I'd really like to be on my own.我無意冒犯，但我確實想自己一個人。
