　　1. 毛衣如何晾

　　The proper way to hang a sweater will take up slightly more space in your closet, but it's totally worth it to prevent those shoulder bumps. All you have to do is fold your sweater in half length-wise, and then just drape it around a hanger. The arms should fall around one side of the hook, and the body around the other. And don't worry, there won't be any weird dents in your sweater hanging it this way either.

　　合理地晾一件毛衣将会占据你衣柜内更多的空间，不过这么做是完全值得的，能防止(不正确的挂法导致)双肩拱起。你需要做的便是将毛衣对半折，然后将其挂在衣架上，使衣袖垂在挂钩的一端，而衣身垂在另一端。不用担心，这样挂毛衣上不会留下任何奇怪的折痕。
