Make Way for Tooth Decay

세균의 입장에서 서술된 책이다. 세균들은 자신이 어떻게 충치와 치석을 만드는지 재미있는 방식으로 설명을 한다. 교훈과 재미, 지식을 모두 포함하고 있다. 간식거리를 입에 달고사는 아이들에게 꼭 읽히고 싶은 책이다. 

What’s in your mouth?

Are you sure you know?

You have company in there.

We’re called bacteria.

We do our best to be polite.

We work hard to build up plague.

Bacteria: 세균들(병을 생성할 수 있는 작은 생명체)_bacterium

 

What is plague? Plaque: 치석

A living glue made up of us and food you chew. ~로 만들어진

 

What’s saliva?

A big word for spit.

Your tongue would be dry if you didn’t have it.

 

Let’s get back to lovely plague, which sticks right to your teeth.

It forms a shield so cavities can dig holes underneath. 충치들

 

Water won’t wash plague away.

Bacteria, as you can see, always go for quality.

 

How can you help us build up plague?

We’ll do wonders with those treats. 기적을 일으키다.

When kids like you cooperate, bacteria can celebrate.

 

Dentists claim they have the truth.

They’ve made a study of every tooth.

What’s their motto?

“Stop that plaque! Mouthwash! Toothbrush! Let’s attack.”

• Motto: 신념이나 목적을 나타내는 짧은 문장

 

Mouthwash tastes yucky.

That’s what we think.

 

Dentist, we are at a loss. 난처하다.

You tell people floss, floss, floss! Floss: 치실

That’s not a friendly thing to do!

 

Your chairs provide a comfy ride.

Then what do you say?

“open wide!”

Depend on us to tell the truth:

Spare the care and rot the tooth!

  

Bacteria will always say, “please make way for tooth decay!” 지나가게 하다. 길을 내주다.
