最近英国媒体《卫报》做了一个很有意思的报道：

美国人多久换一次内裤？数据闻起来发臭……

文章说一家内裤公司的调查发现：45%的美国人不是每天勤换内裤！还有人甚至可以连续穿一周……

According to a study, 45% of them have worn the same pair of underpants for two days or longer.

调查发现45%的美国人穿同一条内裤，可以连续穿两天以上。

13 percent of people said they’d worn the same pair for a week or more.

13%的人说他们一周都不换内裤。

在这些不换内裤的人里，男性普遍要多于女性。

The survey also found that men are almost 2.5 times more likely than women to wear their underwear for more than a week.

男性更容易不换内裤，一周不换内裤的男性数量是女性的2.5倍。

那么问题来了，不是每天换内裤真的有什么影响吗？

纽约大学微生物和病理学教授Philip M. Tierno认为，两天不换内裤也没那么可怕。

"Generally speaking, it’s not going to hurt you as much as your hygiene may hurt your reputation," Tierno told TODAY.

“一般来说，这不会对你身体有什么损害。损害更多的可能是你的名声。” Tierno说。

Everyone has naturally-occurring microorganisms in and on their bodies called a microbial flora, he said. While the fact that these microbes exist on the body may sound scary, the relationship between the host and organism is generally beneficial.

他说，每个人身上都有自然存在的微生物，称为微生物菌群。虽然身上存在微生物听起来很可怕，但它们和宿主的关系通常是有益的。

"Since they are your bacteria, unless you have a break in the skin or another conduit of entry into the body they won’t do you harm," Tierno said.

“因为它们是你自身携带的细菌，除非你皮肤有伤口或者有其他进入你体内的渠道，否则它们不会对你造成伤害，”Tierno说。

"Two days would probably be very little detection unless you grossly contaminate your underwear," said Tierno. "If you talk about a week or two, now we’re getting into robust growth of organisms and clearly there will be odor."

“两天不换内裤很难被察觉，除非你把它弄脏了，”Tierno说。“但是如果你说一两周不换，微生物大量繁殖就一定有味道了。”

Tierno explained that as long as the person clean well after using the restroom, there's no need to fear harm from extended undergarment wear.

Tierno解释说，只要在使用洗手间后清洁干净，就不必担心换不换内裤。

到底应该多久换一次内裤呢？有网友突发奇想，提出“一裤四穿”……

laundrys expensive, yo. if no ones gonna see it, who cares if i wear my boxers twice lmao

洗一次衣服很贵啊。如果没人看见，谁会在乎我一条内裤穿两次。笑死我了。

Why not 4 times, 1 regular, 1 back in front, 1 inner out and 1 inner out back in front. SOOOOO NICE

为什么不能“一裤四穿”呢？正穿穿一次，前后反着穿一次？外面穿一次？再翻个面穿一次

Disgusting. Its probably the same people who don't wash their hands after going to the washroom.

太恶心了，估计这群人上完厕所也不会洗手吧。
