BBC环球慢速英语 第117期:泰国对抗艾滋病的不寻常方法(4)

voice 1: The best way to avoid getting a sexually transmitted disease is to avoid having sex. A person can save the experience of sex until he or she gets married. But, if a person does have sex, he should use a condom to avoid getting sick. Experts everywhere agree that using a condom decreases a person's risk of getting a sexually transmitted disease, even HIV. A person can still get a sexually transmitted disease or HIV even if he uses a condom. But the risk is much lower.
声音1：避免感染性传播疾病的最佳方式是避免发生性行为。人们可以在结婚以后再发生性关系。但是，如果发生性行为，那就应该使用安全套来避免感染疾病。所有专家都认为，使用安全套可以降低人们感染性传播疾病的风险，甚至可以减少感染艾滋病的风险。虽然即使使用安全套，人们仍可能会感染性传播疾病或艾滋病。但是感染风险降低了很多。

voice 2: For many people there is a stigma, or bad idea, attached to condoms. They think that condoms are dirty or strange. They feel shame talking about sexual things like condoms. But Mechai asks:
声音2：很多人将安全套和耻辱或不好的想法联系在一起。他们认为安全套很脏，也有人认为安全套很奇怪。在谈到安全套等与性行为有关系的事情时他们感到很羞耻。但是米猜这样问到：

voice 3: "Why do condoms (make you feel shame)? (If you are ashamed of condoms) you should also (feel ashamed) about tennis balls. They contain a lot more rubber."
声音3：“为什么安全套让你感到羞耻？如果你对安全套感到羞耻，你应该也对网球感到羞耻。因为网球所含的橡胶更多。”
