2015大学英语四级翻译双语练习：蚊子咬人思维导图

如果你曾经被蚊子咬过，周围的人很可能会不断地向你解释蚊子为啥会毁掉你的一天。也许他们会说你太好闻了，或者说你有特殊的血型，又或者只告诉你说你的衬衫使你看起来更像被攻击的目标。对于以上所列的这些原因，我们绝对不是开玩笑，顺便说一句-科学家认为所有这些因素都会使你更招蚊子。

正如最近发表于《史密森学会会刊》(Smithsonian)上的一篇文章详述的那样，有20%的人似乎对蚊子很有吸引力，这很奇怪，至于原因，人们仍莫衷一是。最简单的答案似乎是一个人血液中的什么东西会吸引蚊子。不管怎样，看起来蚊子实际上是被人体所散发的某种化学信号吸引来的。我们当中85%的人都会散发这种化学信号-这也解释了为什么蚊子对有的人"视而不见"-而且这也会暗示你的血型类型。

Another,strangertheoryisthatmosquitoesarenaturallyattractedtodarker,morevividcolors.Inotherwords,it'sactuallybeentheorized-andinsomecasesshown-thatmosquitoeswillbitepeoplebecausetheyliketheirshirt.

另一种更奇怪的理论是蚊子天生会被更深，更鲜亮的颜色所吸引。换句话说，这实际上已经形成了理论-一些例子说明-蚊子会咬人是因为它们喜欢这些人的衬衫。
