卡卡課堂 884 Book思議！老外愛屯衛(wèi)生紙竟是這個原因！！

說出來笑死你！老外愛屯紙竟是這個原因?。?br />
抗擊疫情，封城宅家。這些操作讓我們不得不準備好在家的必須用品。口罩，酒精，方便面，還有糧食等，都在我們外出掃貨的必備清單上。不過自從外國疫情開始，到現(xiàn)在的大規(guī)模爆發(fā)，老外們最愛屯的竟然是手紙！

這種蜜汁操作讓我們確實不太能理解。

Niki Edwards，昆士蘭理工大學，公共衛(wèi)生與社會工作學院：

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.
當人們聽說冠狀病毒，他們害怕失控。而且?guī)埜杏X是一種保持衛(wèi)生和清潔的方式。

Brian Cook，墨爾本大學，社區(qū)參與和減少災害風險項目：

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.
很多人可能也把廁紙當紙巾用，因此會想象他們自己如果得了流感，或類似流感的疾病，需要很多紙巾。

David Savage, Newcastle Business School, University of Newcastle:
David Savage，紐卡斯爾大學，紐卡斯爾商學院：

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.
他們在買他們需要的東西，其中一件是衛(wèi)生紙。

我想和其他東西相比，我們更加注意到衛(wèi)生紙是因為衛(wèi)生紙是個大件物，占了很多貨架空間。

People might be confusing the coronavirus with the norovirus-a different virus which causes diarrhea.
人們可能把冠狀病毒和諾如病毒混淆，諾如病毒是一種引起腹瀉的病毒。
