But, when they broke it apart into thioacetone workers started falling ill, spontaneous outbreaks of vomiting were reported in the surrounding neighborhoods.

但是，当他们把它分解成丙硫酮时，工人们开始生病，报道说邻近区域的人们不约而同地都爆发了呕吐。

There might be a lot to learn about thioacetone and thiols in general but, understandably, scientists are not really rushing to look into it.

也许关于丙硫酮和硫基有很多东西可以研究，但是科学家们并不急着去钻研，这倒也很容易理解。

But the greatest example of thioacetone's silent-but-deadly strength comes from the German city of Freiburg where in 1889, chemists at a soap factory were, reportedly, working on a larger molecule known as tri-thioacetone, which is used as a flavoring and a fragrance.

关于丙硫酮沉默却要命的力量，最佳例子来自德国弗莱堡市，那是1889年，据记载一家肥皂厂的化学人员正研究一种叫做“三聚硫酮”的大分子，以作为调料和香味剂。
