Does it seem like mosquitoes search you out specifically, maniacally biting you just to make you miserable?
你是不是发现自己特别招蚊子，经常被蚊子咬得很惨？
Blame your genes.
怪你的基因吧。
And your smelly feet.
还有你的臭脚。
Basically, mosquitoes choose their prey (you) based on a whole bunch of factors.
基本上，蚊子对你下口是基于一连串因素的。
Many myths exist; for example, the idea that eating bananas can repel the bugs doesn't hold up.
关于这方面有许多谣言，比如吃香蕉能驱蚊，这种想法是没有依据的。
But scientific research has found evidence supporting several reasons why mosquitoes may seek you out, though these studies are often on different kinds of mosquitoes, so the actual things attracting them to you may vary depending on which species are nearby.
Still, there's good news: Some of the things that might make you especially attractive to mosquitoes are things you can actually change.
好消息是：有些东西会让你特别招蚊子，而你可以做出改变从而远离蚊子。
Since — depending on the type of mosquitoes in your area — these little flying beasts can transmit deadly diseases like Zika, malaria, yellow fever, dengue, Chikungunya, and West Nile, it would be wise to try to reduce your allure as much as you can.
Here are seven things that could make you irresistible to the pests.
以下是7个会让蚊子爱上你的因素：
1. People with type O blood tend to attract more mosquitoes than people with other blood types.
O型血的人通常比其他血型的人更招蚊子。
2. Malaria carrying mosquitoes were attracted to pregnant women twice as much as non-pregnant women in a study. In light of Zika's link to birth defects, this finding is particularly concerning.
3. In a small study, researchers found mosquitoes liked people who had drank a beer more than their sober counterparts.
一项小型研究发现，相比没有喝酒的人，喝啤酒会让你更招蚊子。
4. Some people's bodies emit attractant compounds, while others emit repellent compounds. It's unclear why or how this works, though researchers have tried to isolate the chemicals to use them for mosquito traps or natural bug spray.
