Could cactus protect people from the computer radiation? 

仙人掌能防止电脑辐射吗?
Lily:
Some people believe so, but I don’t.

Ann:
Why? 

为什么?

They believe that because cactus grows in the desert, so it can absorb in the radiation. 

他们这样认为是因为仙人掌是在沙漠地区生长的,所以能吸收辐射。

But, it really can absorb in radiation. 

但是,它真的能吸收辐射啊。

No, I mean that the radiation is computer radiation. It’s different. 

不,我说的这个辐射是指电脑辐射。不一样的。
