I wear a lot of athleisure-wear – because I like the way it looks and fits, because it lasts forever, and because I do, in fact, engage in a lot of athletic activities. The main problem with most athleisure-wear is that it's made of plastic, and we now know that plastic clothes are causing tiny plastic fibers to pollute everything from oceans to breast milk. 
💡
athleisure-wear 休閒運動服 athlete + leisure 的組合

我穿了很多休閒運動服,因為我喜歡它們的外觀和合身度,因為它們非常耐穿,而且因為我確實經常運動。大部分的休閒運動服的主要問題是它們都是塑料做的,而我們現在也知道,從海洋到母乳裡,都受到了塑料衣服的細小纖維 (fibers) 的污染。

A few weeks ago I had a minor freak-out about my plastic clothes and the plastic microfibers. There are so many horrible things happening, but I think my brain fastened on this one because the causal link between me and the outcome is so direct: I wear the clothes, I wash the clothes, the tiny fibers fly out into the world and ruin everything. I could stop doing that.
💡
freak-out 「焦慮、擔憂」
注意這邊當名詞使用 have a freak-out

causal link「因果關係」
文中用 direct 來表示個因果關係是直接的

幾週前,我因為塑料衣服和微塑料纖維 (plastic microfibers) 而有點小恐慌。雖然世界上有很多可怕的事情正在發生,但我的大腦卻糾結在這一點,我認為是因為我的行為與結果之間有直接的關係:我穿上衣服,我洗衣服,微小的塑膠纖維因此擴散到世界各處破壞 (ruin) 一切。我可以停止這一切。
