1. 金魚缸對金魚很不好！
Goldfish bowls are really bad places to keep goldfish.
金魚缸太小了，沒有足夠的過濾功能及氧氣。TheGoldfishTank.com網站作者說明”把金魚養在金魚缸李等於是把你的金魚養在馬桶裡，還期待它能夠顯現出最好看的顏色，期待他長大，期待他不生病一樣。“（鬥魚如是）
They’re too small to allow for adequate filtration and don’t provide enough oxygen. “Goldfish bowls,” writes TheGoldfishTank.com, “are the equivalent to putting your goldfish in the toilet and expecting him to show you his best colors, grow to the size of a softball, and never get sick.” (Same rule applies to betta fish.)
2. 心臟病發時吃阿斯匹靈救命，但你要嚼碎它！
For an aspirin to save your life during a heart attack, you need to chew it.
阿斯匹靈會抑制血小板，避免造成血塊產生。當你嚼碎阿斯匹靈時，效果會更為快速。量不需要太多，但由於時間是最為關鍵的點，嚼碎阿斯匹靈使得藥效從嘴巴進入身體，而不是進入消化系統，來達到抑制血小板進入血管裡。
Aspirin, which inhibits platelets that speed blood clots, works fastest if chewed. A small amount is all you need, and since time is of the essence, chewing delivers the antiplatelet effects through the blood vessels in your mouth instead of the digestive process.
3. 抗體對病毒毫無效用。
Antibiotics don’t work on viruses.
抗體只能殺掉細菌，對流感或感冒病毒是毫無效用的。不正確使用抗體的話，可能會危害到你的健康。
Antibiotics kill bacteria only and are useless against the cold and flu, which are both caused by viruses. When not used correctly, they can be harmful to your health.
4. 在美國憲法第一條修正案中提到的言論自由是保護人民不受政府懲罰，而不是保護你面對言論的後果。
The “Freedom of Speech” provision in the First Amendment protects you from punishment from the government, not from the consequences of your speech.
總的來說，美國政府並不行因為你說什麼而拘捕你。但是言論自由並不表示你同時受到你言論的結果或批評等保護。
The U.S. government, generally speaking, can’t arrest you for what you say, but that doesn’t shield you from consequences or critique of your speech or actions.
5. Frankenstein是醫生的名字，而不是科學怪人的名字。
Frankenstein is the name of the doctor, NOT the monster.
祝你好運對抗西方現代化。
Still, good luck going against western civilization with this one.
6. 如果每個使用者都可以把行動廁所的馬桶蓋蓋起來，廁所的臭味會從管線中到上面散掉的。
If everyone puts the lid down in a porta potty, the smell will vent out the pipe that leads to the top.
而行動廁所本身根本就不會臭了。當風吹過行動廁所的上方時，會產生吸引效用並把異味帶走。
And not stink up the porta potty itself. When the wind blows over the top of the porta potty, it creates a suction effect that drags the smell out.
7. 血液在人體中並不是藍色的。
Your blood isn’t blue inside your body.
血液都是紅色的。他在體內看起來像是藍色的是因為光線與皮膚的反射造成。
It’s always red; it appears blue because of the way light interacts with your skin.
8. Shoud've 是should have的縮寫，而不是should of的縮寫。
Should’ve is a contraction for “should have,” and not “should of.”
從來就不是should of 、could of或是 would of
It’s never “should of” or “could of” or “would of.”
9. 家幽靈蛛並不是世界上最毒的蜘蛛。
Daddy longlegs spiders aren’t really the most venomous spiders in the world.
家幽靈蛛與棕色遁蛛都有類似的尖牙，也許是因為這樣它們被誤認為有致命劇毒。蜘蛛本性並不會咬人類，但是電視秀《流言終結者》的Adam Savage成功讓一隻家幽靈蛛咬他。結果他只有覺得有點像灼傷一樣的感覺。
Daddy longlegs spiders, or pholcids, have fangs similar to a brown recluse, which might be why the myth has spread that their venom is fatal to humans. The spiders don’t naturally bite humans, but Adam Savage from Mythbusters was able to get a daddy longlegs to penetrate his skin with a bite. The bite didn’t do anything beyond cause him a “burning sensation.”
10. 如果你把耳機插到你筆電的麥克風孔裡，耳機就會變成麥克風。
If you plug in earbuds into your laptop’s microphone jack, they’ll function as microphones.
不是特別好用的麥克風，但的確是個麥克風。
Not the greatest one, but a mic nonetheless.
