Wisdom teeth: The last teeth to erupt in adulthood.
智慧牙:成年后再长出的牙齿。
Have always been proud of having a set of straight teeth.
一直以拥有一口整齐的牙齿为傲。
Even more proud of having four neatly grown wisdom teeth.
更自豪的是拥有四颗整整齐齐的智慧牙。
Not everyone will develop a full set of four wisdom teeth.
不是每个人都会长出一整套四颗智慧牙。
Even when they do grow, most people have crooked wisdom teeth.
即使长出来了,多数人的智慧牙也长得歪歪斜斜。
但是,智慧牙对牙医来说却是多余的!
Because of the full set of wisdom teeth grow in, there is no room in the mouth for the toothbrush to brush the teeth behind.
因为整套的智慧牙长成后,口腔内就没空间让牙刷刷到后面的牙齿了。
My wisdom teeth are having trouble because of this.
我的智慧牙因此而有问题。
After procrastinating for years, finally could not bear it anymore, 'dragged one of the old and weak tooth out and chopped it off'!
拖了好几年,终于忍无可忍下,把其中一颗老弱残牙‘拖出去斩了’!
Unexpectedly, what was even worse was the 'eradication of nine familial'.
没想到更惨的是还‘诛九族’。
According to the dentist's explanation, after the extraction of the lower wisdom tooth, the upper wisdom tooth will tend to drop downwards due to gravity.
据牙医解释,下智慧牙拔除后,上智慧牙会因地心引力而呈下落趋势。
In order to get it done once and for all, have to endure the pain to pull out a perfect wisdom tooth.
为了一劳永逸,只好忍痛将一颗完美的智慧牙给拔草除根。
Now my wits are half gone!
这下我的智慧就剩一半了!
In the end, the dentist reassured me that even with two extractions, theoretically I am still having a complete set of teeth.
最后,牙医安慰我说,即使拔了两颗,理论上我还是拥有一副完整的牙齿。
P/S: A full set of teeth is fourteen upper teeth and fourteen lower teeth.
注:一副完整的牙齿是上十四颗和下十四颗牙齿。
