課文中英文講解
All of us have wanted our hair to grow faster at one time or another. Maybe you’ve always wanted waist-length hair, or you just want that bad ___1___to grow out a little faster. ___2___ your reason, if you want your hair to grow quickly, these are some things you should know.
大家都曾经在某些时候希望头发能长的快一点。也许你一直想要有及腰的长发，或是你只是希望剪坏的头发赶快长长。不管你的理由是甚么，如果你希望你的头发长得快，有一些事情你应该要知道。
On average, hair only grows about a centimeter a month, and it’s even ___3___for women. If you want to grow fifty centimeters of hair, ___4___to wait three years or more. Once you’ve decided to grow your hair long, ask your hairdresser to trim off your split ends and damaged hair so you’ll be off to a health start. You should also choose your hair care products ___5___. Many over-the-counter ___6___can actually damage your hair and scalp, so hair care specialists recommend using salon products. Also, avoid ___7___your hair more than is necessary to style it. In addition, watch your diet. Eating foods that are rich in amino acids, beta-carotene, and B vitamins can speed up hair growth. And because hair is made of protein, a protein-rich diet strengthens hair and ___8___it grow faster.
头发平均一个月只能生长一公分，而且女性的头发长得更慢。如果你想留五十公分长的头发，那就准备等个三年或更久吧!一旦你已决定好要把头发留长，先请你的发型设计师修修你的分叉及受损的头发好让你有个健康的开始。你也应该要慎选并使用适合的护发产品。许多商家卖的洗发精实际上会伤害你的头发和头皮，因此美发专家建议使用沙龙级的产品。同时，也要避免过度梳理头发。除此之外，要注意饮食。摄取富含胺基酸、胡萝卜素及维生素B群的食品，可以加速头发的生长。而且为头发是由蛋白质组成，所以富含蛋白质的饮食能强化头发并加速它的生长。
If your patience runs thin while waiting for your locks to come in, don’t ___9___your hair out. Just look to Tran Van Hay of Vietnam for inspiration. With hair measuring 6.2 meters, he may have the longest hair in the world. You might not want hair ___10__long, but with patience, you can have the long hair you want.
如果你等头发长长等得快不耐烦了，别抓狂。向越南的Tran Van Hay寻求灵感就对了。有着六百二十公分长的头发，他的头发可能是世界上最长的。你也许不想让头发长那么长，但是只要有耐心，你就可以拥有你想要的长头发。
