Your Skin and Mine

我们的皮肤

Mary's skin is light brown. So is Henry's. Mark's skin is dark brown. My skin is white with freckles. Mary and Henry and Mark are in my class at school.

玛丽的皮肤是浅棕色的,亨利的皮肤也一样。不过看看马克,他的皮肤是深棕色的。我呢?我的皮肤是白色的，脸上还有很多小雀斑。 我和玛丽、亨利、马克是同班同学。

The other day our teacher passed out some magnifying glasses. Mary and Mark and Henry and I took turns looking at our skin under a magnifying glass. You can do the same thing.

一天,老师给我们发了几个放大镜。玛丽、马克、亨利和我轮流拿着放大镜观察了自己的皮肤。你也可以试试。

Hair is part of your skin, With a magnifying glass you can look at the hair that grows out of your skin. Short hairs grow on your arms and legs. Long hairs grow on your head. Each hair grows out of a little hole called a follicle.

毛发是皮肤的一部分。在放大镜下,你可以看到,毛发是从皮肤里面长出来的。手臂和腿部的毛发比较短,而头部的毛发比较长。所有的毛发都是从一个叫做毛囊的小洞里面长出来的。

A follicle is a kind of tiny pocket. The hair grows up from the bottom of the follicle. It sticks out of the follicle the way a flower sticks out of a vase. A follicle has oil in it. The oil keeps the hair soft and shiny. It oozes out of the follicle and helps keep the skin from getting too dry.

毛囊如同一个小小的口袋,毛发从口袋的底部长出,就像插在花瓶里的花一样。毛囊里存在这少许油脂,能使毛发保持柔软而有光泽。同时,油脂还能从毛囊分泌到皮肤表面防止皮肤干燥。
