正文翻譯

Sandalwood is one of the most expensive woods in the world: One kilogram of Indian sandalwood can cost $200. Its unique, long-lasting aroma makes it extremely sought after. And when that aroma is distilled into oil, a single kilogram can cost $8,000. Today, sandalwood oil is a coveted ingredient for perfumes, soaps, and incense. So what's so special about sandalwood's aroma? And is that why the wood is so expensive?

檀香是世界上最昂貴的木材之一: 一公斤印度檀香可以賣(mài)到200美元。它獨(dú)特的，持久的香氣使它非常受歡迎。當(dāng)這種香味被蒸餾成油時(shí)，僅僅一克的價(jià)格就高達(dá)8000美元。今天，檀香油是香水、肥皂和熏香的原料。那么，檀香的香味有什么特別之處呢? 這就是木材如此昂貴的原因嗎?

You guys didn't mention the main reason why government doesn't allow everyone to grow sandalwood, it is because growing sandalwood is very water intensive.

你們沒(méi)有提到政府不允許每個(gè)人種植檀香木的主要原因，是因?yàn)榉N植檀香木非常耗水。

We had one Sandalwood tree in our garden. My grandfather planted it. It had a unique aroma, you can smell it from afar. We were out for a day and someone stole it. Only some leaves were left.

我們的花園里曾有一棵檀香樹(shù)，是我祖父種的。它有一種獨(dú)特的香味，老遠(yuǎn)就能聞到。后來(lái)我們出去了一天，它就被人偷走了，只剩下一些葉子。

Some households in Karnataka will have a sandalwood block that has been handed down from generation to generation. We have one that is over 50 years old and it still smells nice !

卡納塔克邦的一些家庭會(huì)有一個(gè)代代相傳的檀香木塊。我們有一塊已經(jīng)有50多年歷史了，聞起來(lái)還是很香!

the factories must smell really good

這些工廠聞起來(lái)一定很香。

Another thing that makes it's cultivation hard is , this plant can't grow alone , because it is a parasitic plant , it needs 1 to 2 other trees ( mostly malabar neem ), so you can't plant sandalwood in inter croping , you have to plant it as a main plant , and this is a water intensive crop , and any water or nutrient shortages in initial stages will severely effect the final product

還有一件事導(dǎo)致它很難培養(yǎng)，這種植物不能單獨(dú)生長(zhǎng)，因?yàn)樗且环N寄生植物，需要另外1到2種其他樹(shù)木（主要是馬拉巴爾尼姆），所以不能以間作方式種植檀香木，必須把它作為一種主要植物來(lái)種植，而且它是一種水密集型作物，而且在最初階段，任何水分或養(yǎng)分短缺都會(huì)嚴(yán)重影響最終產(chǎn)品。

Famous Mysore Sandal soap brand completed 100 years in 2016. In 1916, the war blocked the export of sandalwood from Mysore to major Western countries. The Maharaja of Mysore, Nalwadi Krishnaraja Wodeyar, chanced upon unused sandalwood reserves and ordered the extraction of oil from the aromatic wood. Two years later, after the king received a rare set of sandalwood soap from a foreigner, he asked Dewan Sir M. Visvesvaraya, to map out a plan of action to begin the production of such soaps in Mysore. The government installed the first soap factory at K.R. Circle in the capital city. After a few successful experiments, the soap was introduced in the market for the first time in 1918.

著名的邁索爾檀香香皂品牌在2016年已有100年的歷史。1916年的戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)阻止了檀香從邁索爾向西方主要國(guó)家的出口。邁索爾王公，納爾瓦迪·克里希納拉賈·沃迪亞，偶然發(fā)現(xiàn)了儲(chǔ)存的未使用的檀香木，并下令從這種芳香的木材中提取油。兩年后，這位國(guó)王從一個(gè)外國(guó)人那里收到了一套罕見(jiàn)的檀香香皂，他請(qǐng)迪萬(wàn)·m·維斯瓦拉亞爵士制定一份行動(dòng)計(jì)劃，以便在邁索爾開(kāi)始生產(chǎn)這種香皂。政府在首都的K.R.Circle建了第一家香皂廠。經(jīng)過(guò)幾次成功的試驗(yàn)，這種肥皂在1918年首次被引入市場(chǎng)。

My mom was “the help” to a specific rich couple, their massive house always had a distinct smell, neither of us could figure out what it was. One day we went into an Ind-am owned gas station, on the counter was a bunch of cone boxes for sale. I realized at that moment the rich couple from 10 years ago were constantly burning a+ grade sandalwood, goes to show how rich they were to have survived the dot com bubble

我媽媽是一對(duì)富有夫婦的“幫手”（傭人），他們的大房子總是有一種特別的氣味，我們倆都不知道那是什么。有一天，我們走進(jìn)Ind-am旗下的一家加油站，柜臺(tái)上有一堆錐形盒子在出售。那一刻我意識(shí)到十年前那對(duì)富有的夫婦一直在燒+級(jí)檀香木，這說(shuō)明他們十分富有，甚至能度過(guò)互聯(lián)網(wǎng)泡沫。

I can imagine that maybe one reason we don’t have a lot of sandalwood right now is because we only have the supply of what was planted about 20 years ago and sandalwood is extremely more popular than it was 20 years ago in the western world.

我可以想象，我們現(xiàn)在沒(méi)有太多檀香木的一個(gè)原因，是我們僅僅從大約20年前開(kāi)始種植檀香木作為供應(yīng)，而在西方世界，檀香木比20年前更受歡迎。

I’ve always worn sandalwood bracelets because I like the smell. I’ve wondered why they were so expensive. I never realized how much work goes into it.

Mysore Sandalwood soap is an Iconic soap which if you bathe in will attract a lot of attention due to its long lasting fragrance.

Crazy. I remember buying sandalwood oil to cover the smell when I started my "experimentation" phase in high school circa 1996. A 10ml bottle of oil extract was only around 10 bucks back then. I had no idea it has continued to increase in popularity as it was considered mostly a "hippy" or stoner thing back then where I'm from.

真是瘋狂。我記得大約在1996年的高中，當(dāng)我開(kāi)始（約會(huì)）“試驗(yàn)”時(shí)，我買(mǎi)了檀香木精油來(lái)掩蓋體味。那時(shí)候，一瓶10毫升的精油只要10美元左右。我不知道它還會(huì)持續(xù)的越來(lái)越受歡迎，因?yàn)樵谖业募亦l(xiāng)，它被認(rèn)為是一個(gè)“嬉皮士”或類(lèi)似于吸毒的東西。

5:45 That’s the best soap I’ve ever used in my life! And it’s not because of the fragrance/smell, it’s because it thoroughly cleaned your skin better than any soap I’ve ever use, and that’s coming from a person who does construction for living..

這是我這輩子用過(guò)的最好的肥皂! 并不是因?yàn)樗南阄?，而是因?yàn)樗任矣眠^(guò)的任何肥皂都更能徹底清潔皮膚，而我是一個(gè)從事建筑業(yè)為生的人。

The only downside is this really harsh on my face so I Just use it on my body. And that’s coming from a person who never had a problem with face irritated from soap, it so weird because I don’t have sensitive skin.?

唯一的缺點(diǎn)是它很傷我的臉，所以我用它來(lái)洗身體。而我的臉部從未因?yàn)橄阍矶l(fā)生刺痛，太奇怪了，因?yàn)槲业钠つw并不過(guò)敏。
