可乐的用途

Coca Cola (the real one) is not only great to drink, it also has many uses around the home.

　　可口可乐不光好喝，它还有很多居家用途呢！

　　This list of uses was tested on ordinary, original Coca Cola, not the diet kind, or any of the variations there are available.

　　为制作本列表所做的实验都是基于最普通、原味的可口可乐；不是低糖健怡可乐，也不是其他新品种。

　　1. Cleaned a burned saucepan by pouring Coke into it and boiling. This takes out all the staining.

　　1.将可乐倒入烧热的平底锅中并煮沸，可以去除所有的污渍。

　　2. It’s easy to make a modern photograph look like an old sepia one. Just lightly brush the photograph with Coca Cola and dry quickly. Don’t wet it too much or it will buckle. Photocopied black and white pictures make great looking “antique” prints, if you treat them in the same way. Maps photocopied and treated this way, look fantastic in antique style frames.

　　2.要将一个现代照片弄成老照片那种深褐色的样子其实很简单，只要用刷子轻轻的把可口可乐刷在照片表面并让它迅速干燥即可。注意不要弄得太湿，否则照片会变形。同样道理，黑白照片如果也用可乐这样处理就会更像“骨灰级”的老照片了。地图用同样方法也会看上去古典别致。

　3. If you dye your hair and the result is too intense, flat Coca Cola will help to lighten it.

　　3.如果你染完发发现颜色太深了，没气的可乐能帮你把它变淡。

　　4. Give old coins a soak in Coke. This gives a brilliant shine for collections and decorative items.

　　4.将旧硬币浸入可乐里能让它们变得闪闪发光、更加适合收藏和装饰。

　　5. Pour Coca Cola into your kettle and leave all day. This will remove limescale and leaves it clean inside.

　　5.把可口可乐倒入壶里静置一天可以去除污垢，让壶内胆一尘不染。

　　6. A can of Coke poured into the toilet will clean it. The acid in the drink gets to work right away.

　　6.倒一罐可乐到马桶里可以当清洁剂用，可乐里的酸会马上起作用。

　　7. Make an excellent barbecue sauce by mixing Coke and Ketchup , half and half. Coat chicken, meat, etc with this before cooking. It’s mouthwatering.

　　7.把可乐和番茄酱一比一混合在一起可以做出非常美味的烧烤酱，在烧烤前将其涂在鸡肉和牛肉上简直是人间美味，让人垂涎。

　　8. Flat Coke makes a good hair conditioner. Pour it over your hair, rinse and dry.

　　8.没气的可乐是很好的护发素，把它倒在你的头上，冲洗并擦干，你的头发会焕然一新。

　　9. Put Coke into flat wide dishes in the garden and it will help to rid your plants of slugs. They are attracted by the sweet smell and once they fall in, they can’t get out.

　　9.把一个倒满可乐的盘子放在花园里可以驱除植物上的虫子。这些虫子喜欢甜甜的味道，一旦他们接触到可乐，他们就插翅难飞了。

　　10. Rusty bolts can be loosened by soaking a rag in Coca Cola, and wrapping it around the bolt. Leave for a few hours and it will be easier to move.

　　10.如果碰到一个生锈的螺栓很难捻开，我们可以用一个浸过可乐的布包住螺栓，等几个小时之后，螺丝自然而然就会方便转开了。

　　11. Clean your jewelery in a glass of Coke. Brush with a toothbrush and rinse well. (Not recommended for valuable items, or those with gem stones in them.)

　　11.你用一杯可乐洗洗你的珠宝，用牙刷轻轻地在表面抹后冲洗干净。（贵重物品或镶嵌宝石的东西建议不要用可乐洗）

　　12. Flat Coca Cola helps to settle upset stomachs. Don’t use fresh, fizzy Coke as this could irritate the condition. (Take the fizz out by adding a little sugar, if you need to.)

　　12.没气的可口可乐能治疗胃部不适，但不能喝新鲜有气的可乐，因为这样的话病情反而会加重。（如果需要的话，可以加一点糖让可乐里的气跑出来）
