This is Scientific American 60-Second ScienceI'm Christopher Intagliata . Got a minute?

这是科学美国人60秒科学我是克里斯托弗Intagliata。有一分钟？
2

You might blame your pets for shedding all over the house.

你可能会责怪你的宠物在整个房子里脱落。
3

But we humans do it too and our stuff is alive.

但我们人类也这样做，我们的东西还活着。
4

"We're constantly emitting microbes around us.

“我们不断在我们周围散发微生物。
5

And this is coming from shedding of our skin, from exhaling, our hair, we're just full of these guys."

这是来自我们的皮肤脱落，呼气，我们的头发，我们只是满满的这些家伙。“
6

Adam Altrichter, a microbial ecologist at the University of Oregon.

Adam Altrichter，俄勒冈大学的微生物生态学家。
7

"We've never been sterile organisms.

“我们从未成为无菌生物。
8

We are definitely masses of microbes both in and on us."

我们绝对是我们内外的大量微生物。“
9

If you're picturing the Peanuts character Pig Pen, you may not be far off.

如果您正在描绘Peanuts角色Pig Pen，您可能并不遥远。
10

Because biologists estimate we shed a million particles an hour including, of course, a lot of bacteria.

因为生物学家估计我们每小时会排出一百万个颗粒，当然包括很多细菌。
11

Altrichter and his colleagues wanted to measure that cloud of particles the "Pig Pen" effect, if you will,

如果你愿意的话，Altrichter和他的同事想要测量那些粒子云的“猪圈”效应
12

so they asked 11 volunteers not to shower, dressed them in shorts and tank tops, and put them in a sterile chamber for hours at a time, while collecting microbial samples on surfaces and in the air.

因此，他们要求11名志愿者不要淋浴，穿着短裤和背心，并将它们一次放入无菌室中数小时，同时收集表面和空气中的微生物样本。
13

What they found in those samples was a menagerie of bacteria from the volunteers' skin, guts, genital tracts, lungs, noses and mouths.

他们在这些样本中发现的是来自志愿者皮肤，内脏，生殖道，肺，鼻子和嘴巴的细菌。
14

And for eight of the 11 study subjects, the microbial cloud was unique enough to identify the individual who'd left it suggesting that this bacterial 'fingerprint' could someday be used in forensics.

对于11个研究对象中的8个，微生物云的独特性足以识别离开它的个体，这表明这种细菌“指纹”有朝一日可用于法医学。
15

The study is in the journal PeerJ.

这项研究发表在PeerJ杂志上。
16

Given that we spend 90 percent of our lives indoors, our microbial clouds also colonize the places we live and work and, yes, the people around us.

鉴于我们在室内度过了90％的生命，我们的微生物云也在我们生活和工作的地方，也就是我们周围的人群中占据了一席之地。
17

"This just kind of interesting to think about how the people that we interact with at work, or in classrooms, or in other environments, how we could be sharing some of these microbial passengers between us, not even knowing anything about it."

“考虑一下我们如何在工作中，在教室里或在其他环境中与人们互动，我们如何在我们之间分享这些微生物乘客，甚至不知道任何事情。”
18

And now that you do know about it hopefully your view of your coworkers won't become'clouded.

现在你知道了，希望你对同事的看法不会变得“阴暗”。
