上一題
To toot, to cut the cheese, or to pass gas. These are all funny ways to talk about something that everyone does: Farts! A normal person passes about half a liter of gas a day. That equals about 14 farts per day. Then where do farts come from? There are several sources of fart gas. We get fart gas from the air we swallow. Gas also goes into our intestines from our blood. In addition, gas is also produced from chemical reactions and bacteria living in our intestines. Nervous people usually have more gas. This is because they swallow more air. Besides, food goes through their digestive systems faster. This means oxygen cannot be absorbed from the food in time. It turns into fart gas. People’s diet affects the stinkiness of farts. The smell has to do with the sulphur in foods such as eggs, meat, and cauliflower. Beans cause a lot of farts, but these farts aren’t usually really stinky. Beans are not high in sulphur, but the sugar in them produces gas in the intestines. Finally, people wonder, “Where do farts go when you hold them in?” Well, these farts will not poison you. However, you may get a bad stomachache from the pressure. Farts you hold in are neither released nor absorbed. They will come out sooner or later.

    那麼這些屁是從何而來的呢?這些稱為屁的氣體有數種來源:其一,我們吞嚥空氣而得到屁氣。其二,氣體也可以從我們的血液跑進我們的腸道。其三,我們腸道中發生的化學反應與寄居的細菌也會產生氣體。

    緊張的人通常有較多的氣體。這是因為他們吞下較多的空氣,並且食物較快地通過他們的消化系統。這意味著氧氣無法被及時地從食物中吸收,進而轉變成屁氣。人們的飲食會影響屁的臭味。該氣味與諸如雞蛋、肉類以及花椰菜等食物中所含的硫有關。豆類會產生很...
