Women’s Toiletries

Women often pack many “toiletries” (things that are used for cleaning oneself and/or making oneself more beautiful) when they travel. The ones “mentioned” (discussed; talked about) in today’s script are “just the beginning” (only a start; not a detailed list that includes everything).

女性在旅行時，經常會攜帶許多「盥洗用品」（用來清潔身體或讓自己變得更美的物品）。今天文章中「提到的」（討論過的）只是「剛剛開始」（僅僅是一個開始，並不包括所有的詳細清單）。

Most women use “deodorant” (a substance placed under one’s arms to prevent or cover bad smells) and/or “antiperspirant” (a substance placed under one’s arms to prevent or reduce sweat). Many women also use “talcum powder,” which is a white powder that smells nice and is put on one’s skin after bathing to “absorb” (soak up) any “moisture” (liquid).

大多數女性會使用「除臭劑」（一種放在腋下用來防止或掩蓋異味的物質）和/或「止汗劑」（一種放在腋下用來防止或減少出汗的物質）。許多女性也會使用「爽身粉」，這是一種具有香味的白色粉末，洗澡後塗在皮膚上以「吸收」（吸取）任何「濕氣」（液體）。

For the shower, women might pack “body wash” (liquid soap for the body) or an “exfoliating scrub” (a cream with many small, hard pieces that is rubbed against the skin to remove dead skin cells). A “toiletries kit” (a bag for holding toiletries) might also have a “razor” (a small tool with a plastic handle at one end and sharp metal blades at the other end, used to remove hair) and “shaving cream” (a foam used to soften hair and skin) so that the woman can shave her legs and “armpits” (the small area under one’s arm).

淋浴時，女性可能會攜帶「沐浴露」（液體肥皂）或「去角質磨砂膏」（一種含有許多小硬顆粒的霜，用來摩擦皮膚去除死皮）。一個「盥洗包」（裝盥洗用品的袋子）裡也可能會有「剃刀」（一種末端有塑料把手，另一端有鋒利金屬刀片的小工具，用來剃除毛髮）和「剃須膏」（用來軟化毛髮和皮膚的泡沫），以便女性可以刮腿毛和「腋下」（手臂下的小區域）。

Other common “cosmetics” (make-up) include “eye creams” (creams placed around one’s eyes to avoid wrinkles) and “sunscreen” (a cream used to provide protection from sun damage). Many women also pack an “eyelash curler” (a small, metal tool used to curl one’s eyelashes upward), “lip balm” (a clear substance applied to one’s lips to protect them and keep them moist), and “lip gloss” (a clear or slightly colored substance applied to one’s lips to make them shiny).

其他常見的「化妝品」（彩妝）包括「眼霜」（塗抹在眼睛周圍以防止皺紋的霜）和「防曬霜」（用來防止陽光傷害的乳霜）。許多女性還會攜帶「睫毛夾」（一種用來將睫毛向上捲曲的小型金屬工具）、「護唇膏」（塗在嘴唇上用來保護並保持滋潤的透明物質），以及「唇彩」（塗在嘴唇上使其有光澤的透明或微色物質）。
