衛生
核心畫面
Picture someone washing their hands before cooking, and wiping the board after cutting raw chicken. Hygiene can be thought of as cleaning done for a reason you cannot see: not to make things look nice, but to stop illness from travelling — from hand to food, from one person to the next. That is why it names a habit rather than a single act; hygiene is the whole way you keep yourself and your surroundings clean.

可以想成有人煮飯前先洗手，切完生雞肉後把砧板擦過一遍。hygiene 的畫面可以想成「為了一個看不見的理由而做的清潔」：不是為了好看，而是為了不讓疾病跑來跑去——從手跑到食物上，從一個人跑到下一個人身上。所以它講的是一整套習慣，不是單一個動作：hygiene 是你維持自己和周遭乾淨的整個做法。原始詞典資料5 筆記錄
