男子告訴你20年不刷牙會怎樣
Put down your fizzy drinks, people, and brush your teeth every day - you won't want to end up like this guy named Jay, whose teeth stops him from chasing his dreams.
放下你手中的汽水，堅持每天好好刷牙吧--你肯定不想最後像這個叫傑伊的傢伙一樣，讓自己的牙齒阻止自己追求夢想。Jay, 21, is a binman in UK who "spent more time keeping the streets clean than his teeth".
21歲的傑伊是英國的垃圾工，他用於清理街道的時間比護理自己牙齒的時間還多。For the past two decades of his life, Jay had neglected his oral hygiene as there wasn't any encouragement from his parents to brush or floss his teeth, he explained in an episode of Embarassing Bodies, a documentary on British network Channel 4.
在英國電視四臺的紀實節目《限制級診療室》中，傑伊表示，在過去的20年裏，由於沒有父母敦促他刷牙或者是用牙線清理牙齒，傑伊一直都忽視自己的口腔衛生。
"Over the years, I've eaten the wrong foods, I've drank lots of fizzy drinks and I haven't really taken care of them," he confessed. "I haven't really brushed them or flossed or anything like that."
他坦言到：“在過去的這些年裏，我一直都在吃不正確的食物，我喝了太多汽水，我沒有好好照顧牙齒，從來不曾好好刷過牙或者用牙線清理牙齒。”
And we all know how procrastination could lead to an infinite regress - the worse his teeth became, the more frightened he was to visit the dentist.
我們都知道事情總是越拖越嚴重，當他的牙齒變得越糟糕，那麼他就越怕去看牙醫。As a result, Jay's dental health had deteriorated so much that his multiple decayed teeth impacted his confidence in his appearance.
結果，由於傑伊的牙齒健康惡化嚴重，以至於他的齲齒已經嚴重影響到了他對自己的外貌的信心。With a low self-esteem, Jay lost the courage to pursue his dreams of landing a job in sports or physiotherapy as well. But a determined man will become a changed man. With several trips made to a dental clinic, Jay was dead set on turning his life around.
自信不足的傑伊喪失了找一個跟運動和理療有關的工作的勇氣。不過，有志者事竟成。在去了幾家牙醫診所後，傑伊的生活有了轉機。After 11 extractions, several dental implants and crown fittings with bridges, he was finally able to smile confidently, and even shaved his beard which he had depended on to hide his teeth. Now, Jay sticks to a routine of brushing twice a day and flossing every day.
經過11次的拔牙以及幾次牙齒植入還有齒冠搭橋之後，他終於能自信地笑了，他甚至還剃掉了用來掩蓋牙齒的鬍子。現在，傑伊堅持每天刷兩次牙以及養成了用牙線清理牙齒的習慣。With his confidence restored, Jay claims that he's a much happier person now and would "definitely be going forward to fulfil his dreams".
在恢復自信後，傑伊表示，自己現在變得更開心了並且會繼續逐夢的。
