洗澡可以让人迸发灵感

So I've recently set out to take shorter showers. One thing I'm doing is not washing my hair every day. Daily washing, according to dermatologists, hair professionals and this report on NPR, strips locks of beneficial oils and can damage our hair. (There are now even 'dry shampoos,' which you spray or powder onto your hair, which are given a test-run here.)
最近我开始缩短淋浴时间。其一就是不要每天都洗头。据皮肤科医生、头发护理专家和美国国家公共广播网(NPR)上的这篇报导，每天洗头会把有益的皮脂洗掉，损伤头发。（现在甚至还出现了干洗的洗发水，你把洗发水喷撒或抹在头发上。现在这种产品正在试用。）

I wonder, though, if my shorter, more time and energy-efficient showers will have any effect on my mental clarity and creativity. Sometimes I get breakthroughs during other moments of the day—say, while running or walking—but nothing, so far, beats those a-ha moments in the shower.
不过，我怀疑更省时、节能的淋浴是否会对我的头脑清醒和创造力有什么作用。我有时在其他时间也会获得突破，比如在跑步或走路时，不过到目前为止，还没有什么比洗澡更好的。
