The art of hand washing has yet to be mastered
尚未掌握的洗手技巧
art：技藝
有“art”的有趣短語：state-of-the-art： (技術上) 最先進的 eg：state-of-the-art technology 目前技術水平；最先進技術
martial art：武術 fine arts：美術
According to a study led by Carl Borchgrevink, an associate professor at Michigan State University's School of Hospitality and Business, only 5% of people washed their hands enough to kill infection and illness causing germs after using the bathroom. To make matters worse, 33% of hand washers didn't use soap, and 10% skipped the hygienic step altogether.
密歇根州立大學的酒店與貿易學院副教授——卡爾·博克格爾文克所領導的一項研究顯示，只有5%的人在用完洗手間后，洗手時能殺死導致感染和疾病的病菌。更為糟糕的是，在洗手的過程中，共有33%的人不用香皂；10%的人直接跳過清潔步驟。
associate：Associate is used before a rank or title to indicate a slightly different or lower rank or title. 副的 (用在級別或頭銜前，表示稍有不同或略低的) eg：Mr. Lin is associate director of the Institute.林先生是該研究所的副主任。
to make matters worse：更為糟糕的是 同worse still
eg:To make matters worse, often we don’t realize that we have bad habits.更糟糕的是。 我們通常不會意識到我們的壞習慣。
altogether：總共地 eg：Brando received eight Oscar nominations altogether.白蘭度總共獲得了8次奧斯卡提名
In fact,there're some useful tips we can share.
其實，有一些有用的技巧我們可以分享一下。
1.Always use soap: A quick rinse with just water won't get rid of all the harmful germs that could make you sick.
經常使用香皂：僅僅用水快速沖洗并不能除去所有能致人疾病的細菌。
get rid of：除去；擺脫 eg：Get rid of superstition.破除迷信
2.Know where your hands have been: Germs are impossible to avoid, even in some of the cleanest places. Know what you have touched, and be aware of where your hands are about to go.
記得雙手所經之處：因為即使是在一些最為清潔的地方，也是不可能完全避免細菌的。記得你的手曾碰到過什么，并且注意將會碰到什么。
be about to：即將。。。 eg：The performance is about to begin. 演出就要開始了。美國俚語中的“打算要” eg：We are not about to stop now. 我們不打算現在就停下來。
3.Make it a routine to stay clean: Just as you brush your teeth before bed, get in the habit of washing your hands at certain times — before eating, after using the bathroom and when getting home from work or school.
讓保持清潔變成一種日常生活習慣：就像你睡前刷牙一樣，養成一種在固定時間洗手的習慣——比如吃東西前，入廁后以及下班和放學回家時。
...when getting home from work or school. 此處翻譯不能死板地翻譯成：當從工作和學校回家后。應該迅速找到漢語中對應的最標準最簡潔的表達，也就是“下班”和“放學”后。
4.Disinfect your technology: A couple of times a week, take a disinfectant cloth and wipe down your phones, computer, mouse and even the remote to your TV.
給你的科技產品消消毒：用一塊消毒布，一周數次反復擦拭手機、電腦、鼠標，甚至電視遙控器。
5.Know how to wash your hands: Wet your hands with clean, running water (warm or cold) and apply soap. Rub your hands together to make a lather and scrub them well; be sure to scrub the backs of your hands, between your fingers and under your nails. Continue scrubbing your hands for at least 20 seconds and rinse your hands well under running water. Finish up by drying your hands with a clean towel or by air-drying them.
明白如何洗手：用清潔的自來水打濕雙手（冷熱水皆可），然后使用香皂。摩擦雙手使其產生泡沫，仔細搓洗，并確定能顧及到手背、指間和指甲蓋里。持續揉搓雙手至20秒鐘，然后用自來水仔細沖洗。結束時用干凈的毛巾擦干或者風干雙手。
自來水：tap water 或者 running water
rub 和 scrub的區別：scrub的意思是：clean with hard rubbing. 所以rub是簡單，輕輕的摩擦；scrub是用力的揉搓。兩者是力度的不同 eg： scrub back 搓背 ； rub oil into her skin 她把油擦到皮膚中
補充：英語中逗號的使用
1.用于分隔并列成分。
I have an apple,an orange,and a peach.
2.用于分隔位于名詞之前的形容詞，但在這些形容詞作為整體表達一個意思時除外。
It`s a cold,raining day.
It`s dark blue.
3.用于分隔復句中的分句。
Because sales of cars and light trucks made in North America declined 13.6 percent in late February,many analysts concluded that evidence of a recovering automotive market remains slight.
4.位于句首的詞語、短語和從句后加逗號。
No,you can`t.
5.用于分隔插入語
By the way,could I ask you a few questions?
