翻譯公司帶你學(xué)雙語(yǔ)知識：你試過(guò)“魚(yú)療”嗎？

天氣轉涼，人們開(kāi)始尋求各種可以舒適取暖的方式。泡溫泉大概是很多人冬季必選的一個(gè)項目，明目繁多的“浴”和“療”一定也曾經(jīng)讓你眼花繚亂。不過(guò)，這其中最新奇的大概要算“魚(yú)療”了。

A fish pedicure is a beauty treatment that involves immersing the feet in a tank of water containing Garra rufu fish, which nibble off dead and thickened skin.

魚(yú)療（fish pedicure）是一種美體方式，主要做法是將雙腳浸在有墨頭魚(yú)（也稱(chēng)“醫生魚(yú)”）游弋的水池中，讓這些小魚(yú)啃食除去足部的死皮和老繭。

Because the water used in these treatments holds living fish, conventional methods of decontamination and sterilisation cannot be used. With the recent increase in the number of establishments offering this treatment, a growing number of people – including salon owners, environmental health officers and members of the public – have voiced concerns about the potential for transmission of infection. In some countries, the practice has been banned, although there is little evidence of the potential public health risk in scientific literature on the subject.

因為魚(yú)療池中養著(zhù)活魚(yú)，所以不能采取傳統的殺菌消毒措施。隨著(zhù)提供魚(yú)療服務(wù)的機構不斷增加，美容機構業(yè)主、環(huán)境衛生官員以及公眾都開(kāi)始擔憂(yōu)魚(yú)療可能會(huì )導致病菌感染。有些國家已經(jīng)下令禁止魚(yú)療。不過(guò)，目前尚無(wú)科學(xué)研究證明魚(yú)療對公共健康有潛在的威脅。
