    The dust that accumulates in the corners of your house does more than just cause allergies and aggravation,

    积聚在房子角落的灰尘不仅会引起过敏和恶化,

  • 3

    it's also teeming with clues about where you live and who you live with.

    它也充满了关于你住在哪里和你住在哪里的线索。

  • 4

    That's the finding of a study in the Proceedings of the Royal Society B.

    这是“皇家学会学报B”中一项研究的结果。

  • 5

    Researchers had volunteers at nearly 1,200 homes across the U.S.collect indoor and outdoor dust samples.

    研究人员在美国收集的室内和室外灰尘样本中的近1200个家庭中有志愿者。

  • 6

    The average home's dust contains about 5,000 types of bacteria and 2,000 types of fungi.

    普通家庭的尘埃含有约5,000种细菌和2,000种真菌。

  • 7

    The fungi gave away a lot about a home's location.

    真菌放弃了很多关于家的位置。

  • 8

    Different regions have different fungal populations, and thus so do houses within those regions.

    不同的地区有不同的真菌种群,因此这些地区的房屋也是如此。

  • 9

    For example, dwellings around the Great Lakes had very different fungi than did homes in Arizona,

    例如,五大湖周围的住宅与亚利桑那州的住宅有非常不同的真菌,

  • 10

    because most household fungi originate outside and come in either on people's clothes or through windows and doors.

    因为大多数家用真菌都来自外面,无论是穿在人们的衣服上还是通过门窗进入。

  • 11

    As for the bacteria, those were strong indicators of the identity of the home's residents.

    至于细菌,那些是家庭居民身份的强有力指标。

  • 12

    Much of the bacteria was shed by the human body and was a pretty good indicator of a home's gender ratio.

    大部分细菌都是由人体排出的,是家庭性别比例的一个很好的指标。

  • 13

    The single-celled organisms also showed whether a pet shared the home, cats and dogs make their own contributions to the indoor bacterial menagerie.

    单细胞生物也表明宠物是否共享家庭,猫和狗为室内细菌动物园做出了自己的贡献。

  • 14

    The research could inform forensic investigations and allergy studies.

    该研究可以为法医调查和过敏研究提供信息。

  • 15

    In the meantime, what can we take from these findings?

    与此同时,我们可以从这些发现中得到什么?

  • 16

    Well, you can clean up dust but you can't change its composition.

    好吧,你可以清理灰尘,但你不能改变它的成分。

  • 17

    That is, unless you move. Or make some changes in the pets and people you live with.

    也就是说,除非你搬家。或者对宠物和你住的人进行一些改变。
