    示範例句 · Example

    Washing your hands with soap kills a lot of bacteria.

    逐字用肥皂洗手會殺死很多細菌。

    「bacteria」指小到要用顯微鏡才看得到的微小生物，有些會讓人生病，有些其實對身體有幫助（像幫忙消化的）。要記住一個重點：bacteria 是複數形，一隻叫 bacterium，所以英文常說 bacteria are（用 are，不用 is）。跟 virus（病毒）不一樣，細菌是活的單細胞生物。

core核心畫面

One way to picture it: living things far too small for your eyes — millions of them on a , in the soil, inside your own body. A few kinds make people ill, but most just live there, and some are the reason yogurt, cheese and healthy work at all.

可以想成小到眼睛完全看不到的生物：一個門把上就有幾百萬個，土裡有、你身體裡也有。其中少數幾種會讓人生病，但大部分只是待在那裡，還有一些正是優格、起司和消化順利的功臣。所以 bacteria 本身不等於「髒東西」，它只是「細菌」這一類生物。
