蚊子会被每个人都会散发出的二氧化碳和热量所吸引,但蚊子也会被某些特定的气味所吸引。 丹麦阿尔胡斯大学农学部研究的负责人卡尔马丁-威詹森说。根据他的说法,目前仍没确定那些会吸引蚊子的气味到底是哪些。但研究的确指出了有些气味相比较其它气味而言更会吸引蚊子。
All the lab employees rubbed petri dishes against their stomachs. In that way, their scents were deposited on the dishes, which were then put in an enclosure full of mosquitoes, he says.
所有的实验室人员都把培养皿在他们的腹部轻轻擦了擦。通过这种方式,他们的气味就存储在了培养皿里,然后把培养皿放置在一个蚊子出没的地方。
The mosquitoes repeatedly landed on some of the petri dishes, but didnt go anywhere near the others.
蚊子会反复地停留在某些培养皿上,却不会飞到附近其它的培养皿上。
Vitamin B does not scare off mosquitoes. The experiment is one of several to squash one of the many myths concerning the unfortunate art of mosquito attraction.
维他命B并不能吓走蚊子。这个实验也戳穿了诸多关于吸引蚊子的倒霉学问 迷信。
While some believe that it is in fact sour blood that keeps the insects at bay, or that the mosquitoes can detect blood disease, others are convinced that vitamin B provides protection against mosquitoes.
