烈日炎炎,怎樣才能不出汗?
Sweating is you. body's way of regulating its temperature, but it can be annoying and make you feel gross. When we're warm - or boiling in a heatwave - we sweat, normally a lot. The moisture evaporates and cools us down - it's all perfectly natural, but that doesn't mean it isn't frustrating.
流汗是身體調節體溫的方式，但流汗真的很惹人厭，也會讓你感到噁心。熱的時候--或身處熱浪之中--我們就會狂出汗。水分蒸發後，我們會感到涼爽--這十分自然，但也令人感到難受。
Sweaty hands, sweaty faces and armpits are all par for the course in sticky hot weather, but if you're not keen on them, don't worry there's a few tricks you can use to combat them. Some are more obvious than others, but remember it's not just about cooling down - it's about how you cool down too.
天氣炎熱時，手出汗、臉出汗、腋窩出汗，這些都是必經之過程，但如果你不喜歡出汗，請別擔心，這些小方法可以讓你不出汗！有些方法比其它方法更有效，但請記住：不僅要注意降溫--還要留心如何降溫。
1. Wear loose clothing and avoid man-made fibres
1. 穿寬鬆的衣服，不要穿人造纖維製衣
The closer the clothing is to your skin the hotter you feel, plus it just sticks to you. Opt for a looser outfit. Nylons and man-made fabrics just retain the heat, making you feel hotter. Go for a cool linen or cotton. The idea is to go for light, breathable fabrics. Lighter colours are also good as they reflect the sun rather than absorb it like blacks.
衣服越貼身，你就會越熱，而且衣服還會黏在身上。穿寬鬆一點的衣服吧。尼龍和人造纖維會留住熱量，讓你感覺更熱。所以，選擇涼爽的亞麻或棉質衣服吧。總之，選擇輕便透氣的面料。也可以穿淺色衣服，因爲淺色會反射太陽光，不像黑色會吸收太陽光。
2. Apply antiperspirant before bed
2. 睡前塗抹止汗劑
It may feel odd, but apply an antiperspirant before bedtime. It blocks the sweat ducts so the sweat doesn't get out onto the surface of our skin. Deodorants don't stop you sweating but they do mask the smell. Some antiperspirants contain deodorant. Make sure your underarms are clean and dry and then apply your antiperspirant.
雖然聽起來有點怪，但睡前可以塗抹止汗劑。止汗劑可堵塞排汗管，這樣你就不會出汗了。除臭劑不會讓你不出汗，但能除掉汗臭味。有些止汗劑含有除臭成分。確保腋下清潔乾燥之後，再塗抹止汗劑。
3. Avoid foods that make you sweat
3. 不要吃讓你流汗的食物
Avoid spicy food as your body will react the same way as they do to heat - and you will sweat. Stay away from caffeinated food and drink too as it stimulates the adrenal glands and causes your feet, palms and underarms to sweat.
不要吃辣的，因爲身體對辣的反應和對熱氣的反應是一樣的--你會出汗！遠離含咖啡因的食物和飲料，因爲它們會刺激腎上腺，導致腳、手掌和腋窩出汗。
4. Keep your environment cool
4. 保持周遭環境涼爽
This one seems obvious, but is worth repeating. Stay cool and you'll sweat less. There are several ways to do this; place a bowl of ice in front of a fan to get cool air in your room, keep curtains and blinds closed during the day to stop the room overheating and stay in the shade.
大家都知曉這一點，但重申一下卻很必要。保持涼爽，你就會出汗少。多種方法可以做到這一點：電風扇前放碗冰，室內空氣就會變得涼爽；白天拉上窗簾和百葉窗，防止室內過熱，同時呆在蔭涼的地方。
