【英语时差8,16】猫薄荷是什么？（上）

（单词翻译）

It induces euphoria, and excites the sexual regions of the brain. It is quite possibly hallucinogenic. It leads to strange, unpredictable, and unproductive behavior in those who use it. What’s more, it grows wild, much as a weed. Is this the latest menace to society? No, it’s catnip! The catnip plant is actually an herb, and a relatively¹ common member of the mint family. If kitties ever decided² to have a war on drugs, catnip would be outlawed³ because of a chemical called “nepetalactone.”
