Do you ever fight with your hair? You wash it and comb it and try to get it to look perfect. Just when you think you've succeeded -- boing! -- an unruly clump¹ of hair stands up as if to shout "Look at me!"

你是否曾经和头发斗争过？你洗了头，梳理整齐想要保持一个完美发型。当你以为你已经把所有头发都整理好的时候，嘭！有一小撮不听话的头发竖了起来，仿佛在喊着：“快看我啊！”

 

Don't worry. You're not alone. Almost everyone has at least one cowlick.

别担心。又不是只有你这样。差不多每个人都至少有过一次“奶牛舔”的经历。

 

Sometimes they're barely noticeable, but sometimes they're a defining feature. 

有时候，这一小撮头发不是很显眼，但有时候他们会成为你的标志性特点。

 

A cowlick -- sometimes called a "hair whorl" -- is a small group of hair that either stands straight up or lies in the opposite direction of the way a person wants to comb his or her hair.

奶牛舔，有时也叫头发旋，指一小撮立起来或者朝平时所梳的发型反方向突出的头发。
