花露水英文,Why 花露水 is called "mentholated spirit" in English
The English word for 花露水 is "mentholated spirit". Here are three reasons why:
1. Menthol is a key ingredient in 花露水. Menthol is a natural substance found in plants such as mint and peppermint. It has a cooling and soothing effect on the skin and is often used in products like cough drops and throat lozenges.
2. 花露水 is often used as a mosquito repellent. The "spirit" part of the English name refers to the alcohol content of 花露水, which helps to evaporate the menthol and create a cooling sensation on the skin. However, it also makes it flammable and should be used with caution.
3. 花露水 is a common household remedy in many Asian countries. The English name "mentholated spirit" reflects the fact that it is a solution of menthol in alcohol, and distinguishes it from other types of alcohol-based solutions. It is used for a variety of purposes, including relieving headaches and muscle pains, and disinfecting wounds.
