Different fabrics require different treatment. Thus, it is necessary to realize the specialty[1] of each fabric:

 

 

Silk

Silk Brush the silk with a small piece of velvet. The direction of brushing should be parallel with the texture of the fabric, otherwise[2], dust will not be removed and the garment will be damaged.

Wool

Wool Water temperature should be maintained at 30 to 35. After washing, the sweater should be flattened to be dried out[3]. Never place the white sweater under the sun for this will cause it to yellow.

LeatherLeather Brush with neutral detergent and then uses a wet towel to remove the detergent. Leave it for 1 hour to dry out.

 

VelvetVelvet NEVER uses washing machine for velvet. Wash the velvet garment by hand: squeeze[4] the velvet into the soap water and then rinse.

 

Once your clothes get some dirt on it, what will you do? In fact, there are specific treatments for every kind of dirt. The following are the solutions[5] for several usual dirt.

Ink Wet the dirt with ink and then brushes and washes it with rice.

 

Blood Blood wash with cold water and detergent immediately. Don't put it into the hot water for this will cause the condensation[6] of the blood.

 

Paint Use thinner to remove the clothes and then wash with detergent.

 

Icecream Soak it into cold water immediately. Then wash it in hot soap water. Rinse.

 

   

 

注释:

1. specialty:
在这儿可以将它理解成“特点、特性”,另外它还可以表示“专业”,也就是所学的专业(major)意思;现在我们来补充点有关于吃的东西——特色菜 / 特产,“炸鸡是妈妈的拿手好菜(Fried chicken was mum's specialty)”;那么每个地方都有自己的特产,如果我们要问同事“你们那儿的特产是什么?”该怎么表达呢? 简单!“What's the specialty in your country"

2. otherwise:
这个词用得最多的时候就是用做“否则”的意思,如果想要“威逼利诱”某某,通常我们都会说“你最好...要不然我就...”,就可以用到这个词。同时这个词还表达一种“出现相反的情况”的意思,比如你特别想去一个地方,那肯定是风雨无阻是吧?但是一个人去可能会有点孤单,所以这时候就需要煽动一两个人跟你一起去——Fine or otherwise, we shall have to go, right? (不管天气好不好,我们非去不可,是吧?)

3. dry out:
干透。秋冬季节我们经常会觉得口干舌燥(My lips and mouth keep drying out.)

4. squeeze:
挤、压。刷牙时要挤牙膏——squeeze toothpaste ;喜欢喝橙汁的人应该比较熟悉这个动作——squeeze juice from an orange.

5. solution:
解决办法、解答。每个谜语都有答案,那么“谜底”我们就可以用这个词来表达——the solution to the riddle; 其实我们开始学数学的时候就已经开始用到这个词了,例如——附有答案的一页练习题(a sheet of practice questions provided with solutions.)

6. condensation:
凝聚、压缩。Condense a speech to half its original length. ( 将演说压缩为原长度的一半。)

 
 
 

 

衣料不同处理的方法就不尽相同,因此知道每种衣料的特性是很有必要的:

丝绸 用一块小天鹅绒擦拭丝绸。擦的时候应该顺着布料,否则不但灰尘没法除掉衣服也会遭到损坏。

羊毛 水温应该控制在30~35度之间。洗完之后要把衣服平放干透。千万记住不要将白色的羊毛衫放置太阳下晒,这样会导致衣服的颜色泛黄。

皮草 用中性洗涤剂刷洗衣服,再用湿毛巾擦干净所有的洗涤剂。然后一小时风干。

天鹅绒 绝对不能用洗衣机洗涤天鹅绒的衣服。手洗:在肥皂水中轻揉然后清洗干净。

一旦你的衣服沾上了污渍,该怎么办呢?。事实上,每种污渍都有不同的处理方法。以下就是一些去除常见污渍的小方法:

墨渍 浸湿有墨渍的地方,然后用米饭涂洗。

血渍 立即以冷水和洗涤剂清洗即可。(注:血液的主要成分是蛋白质,遇热即凝固,所以不能用热水洗涤。)

油漆 用松节油擦洗之后然后再用洗衣粉清除。

冰淇淋 立即浸泡在冷水中,然后用热肥皂水洗涤后,清洗干净。
