原文及翻譯
How many colds do you catch in a year? Most of my friends catch quite a few colds. They cough, sniffle, and sneeze. They carry around tissues and blow their noses all the time. Their eyes water, and they have scratchy throats.
你一年得幾次感冒?我的大多數(shù)朋友都得過好幾次感冒。他們咳嗽、抽鼻子、打噴嚏。他們隨身攜帶紙巾,不停地擤鼻涕。他們會流淚,喉嚨沙啞。
I don't get many colds. In fact, I can go for a whole year and never catch a cold. This is why I consider myself an expert on how not to catch a cold. I'll tell you how to avoid catching a cold. I think that you need to take a lot of vitamin C. I eat a lot of fruits and vegetables. I drink fruit juice too. I also take vitamin C pills. Whenever I begin to feel a cold coming on, I make sure that I have taken my vitamin C pill, and I drink a lot of orange juice. That usually knocks the cold right out of my system.
我不常感冒。事實上,我可以一整年都不感冒。這就是為什么我認(rèn)為自己是如何避免感冒的專家。我來告訴你怎樣避免感冒。我認(rèn)為你需要攝入大量的維生素c。我吃很多水果和蔬菜。我也喝果汁。我也吃維生素C片。每當(dāng)我覺得要感冒的時候,我都要確保我吃了維生素C藥片,并且喝了很多橙汁。這通常能把我的感冒趕走。
I make sure that I get a lot of fresh air. In the winter, a lot of buildings are shut up tight, so that the air is still, and people's germs circulate through the buildings. I get outside and breathe in fresh, clean air. If somebody is rude enough to cough or sneeze right in front of me, without covering his or her mouth, I just hold my breath for a second. I'm not sure if this works or not, but I don't want to breathe in anybody's cold germs.
我確保我能呼吸到很多新鮮空氣。在冬天,很多建筑物都關(guān)得嚴(yán)嚴(yán)實實,這樣空氣就靜止了,人們的細菌就會在建筑物中傳播。我出去呼吸新鮮、干凈的空氣。如果有人粗魯?shù)禺?dāng)著我的面咳嗽或打噴嚏,而且不捂住嘴,我就會屏住呼吸一秒鐘。我不確定這是否有效,但我不想吸入任何人的感冒細菌。
Many germs are passed through hands. It is important to wash your hands thoroughly if you touch anything in the public place. If I hold a banister while I'm walking down the stairs, I think of all the people who have used that banister, and I make sure that I wash my hands before I eat. Doorknobs also have a lot of germs on them.
許多細菌是通過手傳播的。如果你在公共場所接觸任何東西,徹底洗手是很重要的。如果我扶著扶手走下樓梯,我會想到所有用過這個扶手的人,我一定要在吃飯前洗手。門把手上也有很多細菌。
Money is another thing that is passed from hand to hand and is covered with germs. Sometimes I see people stick money into their mouths. Just think of all the germs that you would be putting into your mouth if you did that.
許多細菌是通過手傳播的。如果你在公共場所接觸任何東西,徹底洗手是很重要的。如果我扶著扶手走下樓梯,我會想到所有用過這個扶手的人,我一定要在吃飯前洗手。門把手上也有很多細菌。
If you just give it a little bit of thought, you can avoid a lot of germs that cause colds. If you eat good food and stay fit, your body will be able to fight off the germs that cause colds and other diseases. It is not always possible to avoid colds.
如果你稍微考慮一下,你就可以避免很多導(dǎo)致感冒的細菌。如果你吃得好,保持健康,你的身體就能抵抗引起感冒和其他疾病的細菌。避免感冒并非總是可能的。
