They're naturally hydrophobic, meaning they won't absorb water.

它们天生就具疏水性，意思是它们不会吸收水分。

I coated this glass with a hydrophobic coating that does just that.

我用给这个玻璃加了有那个功能的疏水涂层。

Water molecules also repel the hydrophobic ends of surfactant molecules.

水分子也排斥表面活性剂分子的疏水端。

This makes the hydrophobic effect disappear, and gives the molecules room to move around.

这会让疏水效应消失，并提供了让分子移动的空间。

The molecules' hydrophobic ends are attracted to fat and dirt, which they quickly surround.

分子的疏水性末端被脂肪和污垢所吸引，它们会迅速包围油脂污垢。

Their shared reaction to water makes the lipids stick loosely together—this is called the hydrophobic effect.

头尾对水的反应让脂质分子松散地附着在一起，这就是疏水效应。

This two-sided property — one side hydrophilic, the other hydrophobic — is a distinguishing feature of all surfactants.

这种双面性质——一面亲水，另一面疏水——是所有表面活性剂的显著特征。

The other end is hydrophobic — it readily associates with the oily surface of the horse's coat.

另一端是疏水的——它很容易与马皮毛的油性表面联系在一起。

The tail is hydrophobic, which means it repels water and instead attaches itself to oils or fats.

尾巴是疏水的，这就意味着它可以排斥水分子，而是附着在油脂上。

Experts suspect the surfaces may be covered with some kind of hydrophobic material that repels water molecules.

专家揣测其表面可能覆盖有排斥水分子的疏水材料。
