当然。有些衣服第一次洗的时候会掉颜色，其实，有很多方法可以解决这个问题。在水里加勺盐再洗是最简单的方法。用盐水来洗新衣服，这样穿得再久、洗的次数再多，衣服也不容易掉颜色。
Dāngrán. Yǒuxiē yīfú dìyīcì xǐ de shíhòu huì diào yánsè, qíshí, yǒu hěnduō fāngfǎ kěyǐ jiějué zhègè wèntí. Zài shuǐ lǐ jiā sháo yán zài xǐ shì zuì jiǎndān de fāngfǎ. Yòng yánshuǐ lái xǐ xīn yīfú, zhèyàng chuān de zài jiǔ, xǐ de cìshù zài duō, yīfú yě bù róngyì diào yánsè.
Of course. Some clothes lose color the first time you wash them; in fact, there are many ways to solve this problem. The simplest method is to add a spoon of salt to the water and wash again. Wash new clothes with salt water; this way, no matter how long you wear them or how many times you wash them, the clothes won't fade easily.
