In shops and bathrooms, an aerosol is the small metal can you press: liquid sits inside with gas, and a button sends it out as a fine spray. Hair spray, some insect sprays, spray paint, and some asthma inhalers work this way. People also say spray can when they want to be extra clear.

In shops and bathrooms在商店和浴室裡，an aerosol aerosol指的是 the small metal can you press你會按壓的那種小鐵罐：liquid sits inside with gas裡面裝著液體和氣體，and而 a button sends it out as a fine spray按鈕一按就會噴出細細的噴霧。Hair spray, some insect sprays, spray paint, and some asthma inhalers像髮膠、一些殺蟲劑、噴漆，還有一些氣喘吸入器 work this way都是這樣運作的。People人們 also say spray can有時也會說 spray can when they want to be extra clear想講得更清楚一點的時候。

Though actually, scientists use aerosol for the spray itself — the tiny drops or bits floating in the air — even when no can is involved, like sea spray, smoke, or some dirty air. That is why the word is built as air + solution.

Though actually不過事實上，scientists科學家 use aerosol for the spray itself把 aerosol 用來指噴出來的東西本身——the tiny drops or bits floating in the air就是那些飄浮在空氣裡的微小液滴或顆粒——even when no can is involved就算沒有罐子也一樣，like sea spray, smoke, or some dirty air像海上的水霧、煙，或某些髒空氣。That那 is why the word is built as air + solution就是為什麼這個字是由 air（空氣）+ solution（溶液）組成的。

On a label, though, it almost always means the can. There is a verb too, less common in daily talk: to aerosol something is to spray it this way. One can, two or three aerosols if you are counting tins.

On a label在標籤上，though不過，it它 almost always means the can幾乎都是指這個罐子。There有 is a verb too還有一個動詞用法，less common in daily talk日常講話比較少用：to aerosol something意思是 spray it this way用這種方式把東西噴出去。One can, two or three aerosols if you are counting tins數罐子的話就是 one can、two or three aerosols。
