Hand washing is one of the easiest ways to maintain hygiene in daily life. Keeping your hands clean the right way is simple, but it is an extremely effective way to prevent the spread of germs and disease. By washing your hands frequently and correctly, you are protecting yourself, your family, and even the community in which you live.
你是否能做到每天认真洗手呢？来看看这份可视化项目，也许你会发现认真洗手可能真的不拿么简单。
Are you able to wash your hands carefully every day? Take a look at this visualization project and you may find that serious hand washing may not be so simple.
这张图显示了洗手时最常被忽略的区域。它基于泰勒-LJ从1978年开始的一项古老的研究（https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/622326/），评估了卫生专业人员的洗手技术。图中颜色越深的区域表示人们在洗手时越容易忽略的部位，可以看到，手心的整体颜色比较浅，而手背却呈现大面积的深色区域，表明我们在日常洗手时很容易忽略手背的大部分部位。
This graphic shows the areas most often missed while washing hands. It’s based on an old-ish study from 1978 by Taylor LJ that evaluated handwashing techniques by health professionals. As you can see, the overall color of the palm is lighter, while the back of the hand shows a large darker area, indicating that we tend to neglect most of the back of the hand when we wash our hands on a daily basis.
这么看来，洗手的确不是一件简单的事情。更何况可能有很多人可能还没有养成勤洗手的好习惯。
So it seems that washing hands is really not an easy thing to do. What’s more, there may be many people who may not have developed the good habit of washing their hands frequently.
