Our bodies have two main kinds of sweat glands.
人体的汗腺大致分为两类。
The sweat glands that are distributed over most of the body produce an innocent, clear sweat that's more than ninety-nine percent water.
其中一种汗腺几乎分布于全身肌肤,其分泌的汗液是干净无杂质的,其中99%为水分。
As this watery sweat rinses your skin, it cools the body by evaporation–and even performs a community service by rinsing away potentially stinky bacteria!
当这种汗水从皮肤中分泌出来时,它会通过蒸发来给身体降温,甚至有时候还发挥“社区服务”的作用,将皮肤表面附着的粘液细菌清洗掉。
But there's another type of sweat gland located only in the armpits, groin, and around the nipples.
但是人体还有另一种汗腺,它分布在腋窝、腹股沟和乳头附近。
These sweat glands produce a thicker, cloudier sweat that's a favorite food of certain bacteria.
这种汗腺会产生大量粘液汗渍,某些细菌尤其偏爱这些汗渍。
