Please don't feel singled out, special, or view yourself as a chosen one.
请别认为自己被针对、比较特殊、或是什么天选之子。
She bites everyone.
她谁都咬。
This is just the inherent nature of the beast.
这不过就是她的野兽本能。
There is absolutely no truth to the persistent myths that mosquitoes fancy females over males, that they prefer blondes and redheads over those with darker hair, or that the darker or more leathery your skin, the safer you are from her bite.
一直以来大家有些错误认知，认为女性特别会招蚊子、金发和红发人比黑发人要容易被咬，或是皮肤越黑、越像皮革就越不容易被咬。
It is true, however, that she does play favorites and feasts on some more than others.
不过有件事倒是真的，那就是蚊子会偏爱某些特定的对象。
Blood type O seems to be the vintage of choice over types A and B or their blend.
相比 A 型、B 型或是 AB 型，O 型血似乎是蚊子的经典菜。
People with blood type O get bitten twice as often as those with type A, with type B falling somewhere in between.
O 型血的人被咬的机率是 A 型血的两倍，B 型血被咬的机率则介于两者之间。
Disney-Pixar must have done their homework when portraying a tipsy mosquito ordering a Bloody Mary, O-positive in the 1998 movie "A Bug's Life."
迪斯尼皮克斯一定有做功课，1998 年推出的《虫虫危机》里一只蚊子就点了一杯阳性 O 型血的血腥玛丽。
Those who have higher natural levels of certain chemicals in their skin, particularly lactic acid, also seem to be more attractive.
那些皮肤天生含有较多特定化学物质的人 ——尤其是乳酸 —— 也特别吸引蚊子。
From these elements, she can analyze which blood type you are.
她能够根据这些元素判定你的血型。
These are the same chemicals that determine an individual's level of skin bacteria and unique body odor.
同样也是这些化学物质决定了一个人皮肤细菌的多寡和独特的体味。
While you may offend others and perhaps yourself, in this case, being pungently rancid is a good thing, for it increases bacteria levels on the skin, which make you less alluring to mosquitoes.
虽然你可能会臭到别人或自己，以这个情况而言，皮肤闻起来刺鼻腐臭是好事，因为那代表皮肤上的细菌多，减少了你对蚊子的吸引力。
Cleanliness is not next to godliness, except for stinky feet, which emit a bacterium, the same one that ripens and rinds certain cheeses, that is a mosquito aphrodisiac.
清洁不总是仅次于圣洁，除非是说到臭脚丫，分泌出的细菌和拿来催熟芝士的是同一种，同时也是蚊子的催情剂。
Mosquitoes are also enticed by deodorants, perfumes, soaps, and other applied fragrances.
蚊子同时也特爱除臭剂、香水、肥皂和其他添加香气。
While this may seem unfair to many of you, and the reason remains a mystery, she also has an affinity for beer drinkers.
虽然对你们有些人或许不公平，而且成因还是个谜，不过蚊子也特别钟爱喝啤酒的人。
Wearing bright colors is also not a wise choice, since she hunts by both sight and smell, the latter depending chiefly on the amount of carbon dioxide exhaled by the potential target.
穿亮色衣服也不是个好选择，因为她挑选猎物靠的是视觉和嗅觉，后者尤其着重潜在目标呼出的二氧化碳含量。
So all your thrashing and huffing and puffing only magnetizes mosquitoes and puts you at greater risk.
所以当你活动得上气不接下气时，蚊子挑上你的可能性就会增大。
She can smell carbon dioxide from over 200 feet away.
她能够在 61 公尺外就闻到二氧化碳。
When you exercise, for example, you emit more carbon dioxide through both frequency of breath and output.
当你运动时，举例来说，你在吸气和呼气时会散发更多二氧化碳。
You also sweat, releasing those appetizing chemicals, primarily lactic acid, that invites the mosquito's attention.
你也会流汗，释出那些令蚊子开胃的化学物质 ——主要是乳酸，招来蚊子的注意。
Lastly, your body temperature rises, which is an easily identifiable heat signature for your soon-to-be tormentor.
另外你的体温还会升高，对即将前来折磨你的对象来说，是一个能轻易辨识的热信号。
On average, pregnant women suffer twice as many bites, as they respire 20% more carbon dioxide and have a marginally elevated body temperature.
平均而言，怀孕妇女被叮的可能多出一倍，因为她们多呼出 20% 的二氧化碳且体温较高。
As we will see, this is bad news for the mother and the fetus when it comes to infection from Zika and malaria.
提及传染兹卡病毒和疟疾，这对妈妈和胎儿来说自然不是好消息。
Please don't go on a shower, deodorant, and exercise strike or shelve your beloved beer and bright T-shirts just yet.
请先别急着去冲澡、喷除臭剂、不运动或是把你珍爱的啤酒和亮色衬衫束之高阁。
Unfortunately, 85% of what makes you attractive to mosquitoes is prewired in your genetic circuit board, whether that be blood type, natural chemical, bacteria or CO2 levels, metabolism, or stink and stench.
因为不幸的是，你之所以吸引蚊子有 85% 的原因还是出于你的基因，无论是血型、自然化学物质、细菌或是二氧化碳指数、新陈代谢及体臭、体味。
At the end of the day, she will find blood from any exposed target of opportunity.
最终，她还是会对任何有机可趁的目标下手。
