2020-01-17来源:和谐英语

hair loss 是什么意思?

首先要清楚hair loss是如何定义的

Hair loss is the thinning of hair on the scalp. The medical term for hair loss is alopecia. Alopecia can be temporary or permanent.

脱发是指头发稀疏。脱发的医学术语是alopecia。脱发可以是暂时的,也可以是永久性的。

Hair loss normally occurs gradually with age in both men and women, but is typically more pronounced in men.

脱发在男性和女性中都是随着年龄的增长而逐渐发生的,但在男性中更明显。

Hair loss is often caused by genetics, that is, it runs in families. In general it is not a symptom of disease, however, thyroid disease, anemia, ringworm of the scalp, and anorexia can cause hair loss. In addition, some medications such as cancer chemotherapy may cause temporary hair loss. Hair growth usually returns to normal when the medications are stopped. In some cases, hormones after giving birth or during menopause can cause thinning hair.

脱发通常是由基因引起的,也就是说,它是家族遗传的。一般来说,它不是疾病的症状,但是,甲状腺疾病、贫血、头皮癣和厌食症会导致脱发。此外,一些药物如癌症化疗可能会导致暂时性脱发。停药后,头发生长通常会恢复正常。在某些情况下,生育后或更年期期间的荷尔蒙变化会导致头发稀疏。


hair loss
就可以指我们平常说的
头发掉落导致发量减少的脱发现象

例:
His wife had hair loss after cancer treatment.
他的妻子在接受癌症治疗后脱发。

hair loss导致的一个最直接的结果就是

 


baldness
它的形容词形式比较常用
bald
with little or no hair on the head
秃头的

例:
At 20 he was already going bald.
他20岁就开始谢顶了。

正所谓
“旱的旱死,涝的涝死”
有的人小小年纪就成了光头
而另外总有一些人
毛发旺盛
想要拔毛

脱毛的英文应该是
hair removal
/hɛə rɪˈmuːvəl/
the act or process of removing human hair from the body
将人的毛发从身体上除去的行为或过程

laser hair removal
激光除毛

要注意的是hair在这里可不是专门指头发,人身上的汗毛都可以叫做hair,身上的就叫body hair,脸上的就叫facial hair。
脱毛的一个最简单的方式就是

 

shave

If someone shaves a part of their body, they remove the hair from it so that it is smooth.
如果有人shave身体的某个部分,就是说他们把那部分的毛发剃掉,使之光滑。

男生呢通常会

 

shaved one's beard (off)
刮胡子
如果没有特殊指明的话
单说shave就是刮胡子

女生有需要的话会

 

shave one's armpits
刮腋毛
armpit/'ɑ:mpit/ n. 腋窝
armpit hair: n. 腋毛
这里我们直接用部位指代这个部位上的毛
不需要再加上hair了
