Lead carbonate can prevent decomposition in the oils that make up paints, allowing them to look fresh longer, and lead based paints dry faster than their counterparts.

碳酸铅能防止油漆中油质的分解，能使油漆看起来更加崭新，并且含铅油漆比普通油漆干得更快。

In particular, lead carbonate, otherwise known as white lead, was widely used because it made paint so opaque, that a small amount of lead based paint can cover a large area.

特别是碳酸铅，俗名铅白，更是广泛应用于油漆，因为它能让油漆非常不透明，一点点含铅油漆就能涂抹很大一片区域。

The pigment was made by mixing metallic lead with acetic acid -- also known as vinegar -- in the presence of carbon dioxide to make lead carbonate, a powdery white lead.

这种颜料是通过在二氧化碳存在下将金属铅与乙酸（也称为醋）混合制成碳酸铅（一种粉状白铅）制成的。
