说出来笑死你！老外爱屯纸竟是这个原因！！


抗击疫情，封城宅家。这些操作让我们不得不准备好在家的必须用品。口罩，酒精，方便面，还有粮食等，都在我们外出扫货的必备清单上。不过自从外国疫情开始，到现在的大规模爆发，老外们最爱屯的竟然是手纸！ 
这种蜜汁操作让我们确实不太能理解。


为什么老外在疫情期间爱屯纸？今天我们就来扒一扒这些深层的原因。

When people hear about the coronavirus, they are afraid of losing control. And toilet paper feels like a way to maintain control over hygiene and cleanliness.
当人们听说冠状病毒，他们害怕失控。而且厕纸感觉是一种保持卫生和清洁的方式。

A lot of people likely also use toilet paper as a tissue, and therefore imagine themselves needing a lot if they have the flu or a flu-like illness.
很多人可能也把厕纸当纸巾用，因此会想象他们自己如果得了流感，或类似流感的疾病，需要很多纸巾。

They’re buying what they need and one of the items is toilet paper.
I think we’re noticing the toilet paper more than the other things because toilet paper packs are big items that take up a lot of shelf space.
他们在买他们需要的东西，其中一件是卫生纸。
我想和其他东西相比，我们更加注意到卫生纸是因为卫生纸是个大件物，占了很多货架空间。

People might be confusing the coronavirus with the norovirus-a different virus which causes diarrhea.
人们可能把冠状病毒和诺如病毒混淆，诺如病毒是一种引起腹泻的病毒。
