铜袜子？铜毛巾？那地铁里竖几根铜柱子怎么样宁？这只是智利——世界最大的铜生产国——利用这种红色金属的几个例子而已。自古以来铜就被用来制造工具、武器和管道系统，而今智利的创新人士正在试验新方法来利用铜的抗菌特性。
Copper socks？ Copper towels？ How about copper subway poles？ These are only a few of the ways Chile, the wodd＇s biggestcopper producer, is utilizing the red metal. Used since ancient times to make tools, weapons and plumbing systems, Chilean innovators are experimenting with ways to exploit copper＇s bacteria- and fungus-fighting characteristics.
