So earwax is good. It even has a medical name: cerumen. And there are two kinds. 所以说,耳垢是有益的!它甚至还有一个医学名字:耵聍。并且有两种类型。
Most people of European or African ancestry have the "wet" kind: thick and sticky. East Asians commonly have "dry" earwax. 欧洲血统或者非洲血统的大部分人都有湿耳垢:黏黏的。东亚血统的人通常都有干耳垢。
But you can have too much of a good thing. 但是你不能有太多的好事。
The glands in the ear canal that produce the wax make too much in some people. 腺体位于耳道,能够产生耳垢。某些人的腺体会产生过多的耳垢。
Earwax is normally expelled; it falls out of the ear or gets washed away. 所以耳垢会自然的排除,掉出来或者被冲洗掉。
