我们都知道
“刷牙”是brush teeth
那么
“漱口”用英文怎么说？
外国人习惯上会用
rinse
/rɪns/
它的意思是
to use water to clean the soap or dirt from something
用水清洗残余的泡沫或脏污
比方说
我们一般洗头时，
头上都满是泡沫
最后一步用水清洗的动作
就叫作
rinse
◆ First apply shampoo to hair and then rinse thoroughly.
先把洗发剂涂抹在头发上，然后冲洗干净。
那么用清水清洗嘴里就是
rinse one's mouth
漱口
把脏东西从嘴里漱口漱出去就可以是
rinse out sb's mouth
◆ She rinses out her mouth every morning to prevent bad breath.
她为除口臭每天早上都漱口。
提到了漱口，自然少不了漱口用品
mouthwash
漱口水
rinse with / use mouthwash
用漱口水漱口
put a special liquid into your mouth but spit it out instead of swallowing it. The liquid (mouthwash) helps keep your mouth clean and smelling fresh
