近年来，“脱发焦虑”困扰着越来越多年轻人。据了解，我国脱发人群超2.5亿，每6人中有1人有脱发情况。The epidemic of hair loss for Chinese millennialsWhen I wake up every day, I find many strands of hair on my pillow. I also have the habit of cleaning my house every other day since hair is responsible for half of the dirt and grime on floorboards. Just two years ago, I had never even thought that my lustrous hair would one day fall out or turn grey. Given the thick patches my parents had before they turned 50, the reason for my hair loss being genetic didn't seem very likely.

He reached out and brushed a strand of hair away from her face.
他伸手拂去她脸上的一缕头发。

每天都有成千上万吨的污物和污水排入恒河。
表示“有光泽的；闪亮的；光亮的”，英文解释为“Something that is lustrous shines brightly and gently, because it has a smooth or shiny surface.”如：a head of thick, lustrous, wavy brown hair 一头浓密光亮的褐色波浪卷发。
Many of my colleagues, some of whom are years younger than I am, have the same concern. The pressure from working in the news cycle may be a reason, but we are not alone. A recent survey by the China Association of Health Promotion and Education reveals that China's hair loss population stands at a whopping 250 million, most of them between 20 and 40 years old.
表示“庞大的，巨大的”，英文解释为“If you describe an amount as whopping, you are emphasizing that it is large.”如：a whopping fee 一笔巨额费用，举个🌰：
The Russian leader won a whopping 91.2 percent yes vote.
这位俄罗斯领导人赢得了91.2%的高票支持。
Among this population, men accounted for 160 million – that's some 23 percent of Chinese men. The majority of them are reportedly starting to deal with hair loss at 30, two decades earlier than the previous generation."When we make the clinical rounds, we can see more young patients with thinning hair, so it does exist," Yang Shuxia, a dermatologist at the Peking University First Hospital, told CGTN.
熟词僻义，表示“巡访”，英文解释为“If you do your rounds or your round, you make a series of visits to different places or people, for example as part of your job.”举个🌰：

Baldness is becoming increasingly common among university students. According to a study at Tsinghua University in late 2017, 60 percent of students reported thinning hair and 40 percent claimed to notice receding hairlines. The survey, which polled 4,000 students, defined stress, insomnia and irregular living patterns as major causes for going bald.
insomnia /ɪnˈsɒmnɪə/ 表示“失眠”，英文解释为“someone who suffers from insomnia finds it difficult to”。
Another survey, conducted in 2015, concluded that the bald patches on Chinese men added up to one quarter of Beijing's land area. This "bald wave" has spawned a new lucrative business – the hair loss treatment industry. Statistics from health departments show that consumption by China's urban residents on hair care is rising each year at a fast clip of 30 percent. In the next decade, the country is expected to see an annual growth rate of 260 percent in the business of hair nutrition, restoration and transplantation.

Take a closer look at the consumer data: On JD.com, sales of hair-growing shampoos surged by 136 percent in the first quarter of 2018 year on year. Another e-commerce giant Taobao reported in 2017 that hair products, including vibrating hair brushes, herbal remedies, Minoxidil and adhesive hair pieces, were among its top 40 bestselling lines, over 40 percent of sales of which were made by consumers under 30 years old.

表示“黏合剂”，英文解释为“An adhesive is a substance such as glue, which is used to make things stick firmly together.”
Actually, many millennials are aware of the reasons for hair loss. Many of them interviewed by CGTN attribute the condition to irregular daily routines, staying up late and stress amid hectic schedules at work and pressure from a high cost of living in a metropolis.
可以替换busy，表示“繁忙的，忙乱的”，英文解释为“very busy or full of activity”举个🌰：

"Excessive anxiety can, in a way, interrupt the normal growth cycle of hair," said Yang Shuxia. However, she underlined that if you notice excessive hair loss, you don't have to panic. Instead, try to notice if you've undergone significant changes for the past few months such as experiencing constant anxiety, signs of fever, irregular daily routines or rapid weight loss, and then wait for three months to see if those symptoms go away.If so, then hair loss may be due to external factors – notably a scalp disorder called "telogen effluvium," which could be managed with changes to habit. If that's not the case, then you should consider seeing a doctor.
表示“头皮”，英文解释为“the skin on the top of your head”举个🌰：
Massage the shampoo gently into your hair and scalp.
把洗发液轻轻揉进头发和头皮。
休止期脱发，又称静止期脱发、压力性掉发(Telogen effluvium)，乃指人体毛发提早进入休止期而造成短时间内大量脱落的情形。Telogen effluvium is a scalp disorder characterized by the thinning or shedding of hair resulting from the early entry of hair in the telogen phase (the resting phase of the hair follicle).（Wikipedia）
Reasons for hair loss can be many, from genetic to environmental. Pattern hair loss is inherited while alopecia is due to problems with your immune system, but loss as a result of stress or other habits are not permanent. For many in the fast-paced modern workplace, it's simply a part of growing up. Less anxiety may help bring your lush look back.
