Question:
I have wall-to-wall carpeting; can I walk around bare foot or in my stocking feet?
问：我可以在地毯上光着脚或者只穿袜子走路吗？
Answer:
No! Carpeting does not prevent you from stepping on pins, tacks, toys, dog bones, and whatever the cat brought in. Get a good pair of house shoes or slippers to protect your feet. The only time to go without shoes is when you are in bed or bathing. Even in the summer at a beach or pool, viruses, bacteria, and foreign bodies are lurking, just waiting for your bare feet. Always wear protective footgear.
答：不可以，地毯并不能保证你不会踩到大头针、大头钉、玩具或者狗骨头上，还有猫咪带过来的任何东西。一定要找一双合适的居家鞋或者拖鞋来避免伤到你的脚。只有在睡觉或者淋浴的时候可以不穿鞋，甚至夏天在沙滩和泳池边，细菌，病毒还有外来的尸体等也可能在你预料不到的地方藏着呢，可能会伤害到你的脚。一定要一直穿着保护自己脚的鞋袜。
