   There are two kinds of people in this world: those who religiously make their bed every day in cleanliness and order… and the rest of us. If you’re in the latter group, then I’ve got some good news: keeping your bed messy might be good for your health.


  世界上有两种人:一种是每天确保床铺整洁有序的人;另一种就是……床上一团糟的人。如果你属于后者,那我有好消息告诉你:床铺乱糟糟的也许有助于身体健康哦!
  The research was conducted by a team from the Kingston University in England; they used a computer model to predict how the dust mites 1 fare in a range of different conditions – including on a made and non-made bed. They found that the mites flourish on neatly 2 mate beds, but shrivel and dry otherwise.
  一支来自英国金斯顿大学的团队做了这样一项调查:他们用电脑模型预测了尘螨在不同环境下的生长情况——包括整洁的床铺和杂乱的床铺。他们发现,螨虫会在整洁的伴侣床上疯狂滋生,而在没有整理的床铺上干瘪死亡。
  “We know that mites can only survive by taking in water from the atmosphere using small glands 3 on the outside of their body,” lead researcher Stephen Pretlove told the BBC when the research was released. “Something as simple as leaving a bed unmade during the day can remove moisture from the sheets and mattress 4 so the mites will dehydrate 5 and eventually die.”
  “我们知道,螨虫只有靠体外的小腺体从外界环境中汲取水分才能生存。”研究公开后,首席研究员史蒂芬在接受BBC采访时说道。“白天起床不整理床铺这类简单的事情,能让床单和床垫除湿,从而螨虫会脱水而死。”
  I’m hoping that soon they will prove that not making your bed is indeed detrimental 6 to mites… or, you know, any reason to not make your bed.
  我希望,没多久专家们就能证明不叠被子的确能杀死螨虫...或者不论出于什么原因,只要不再需要叠被子就可以,你懂的
