介绍:
With beautiful weather and nice summer days, we want to go out and have fun. But there are a few summer risks we should learn how to avoid.
Sunburn
The summer sun is intense, especially from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. For that reason, people should avoid spending time outside during those hours when possible. When it’s not possible, use sunscreen with an SPF of 15 or higher. Be sure to apply it to sometimes forgotten areas such as your ears, neck and tops of feet. When you are outside for several hours, put on more lotion every 30 minutes.
If you do get a sunburn, take a cool bath, and apply some sunburn-relief cream.
Mosquitoes
Mosquitoes and other insects increase during the hot summer months. Since many of them carry serious diseases, you should cover up as much as possible. On your hands and other exposed areas, use a spray that keeps insects away.
Water dangers
Numerous water accidents and deaths occur every year. Swimming lessons are a must for anyone spending time near a pool, lake or river.
Children can drown in water that is not very deep. An adult should always supervise and be within an arm’s reach of children playing near water.
Not enough fluids
Working and playing in the hot sun can cause your body to lose a lot of fluids. It is extremely important to drink more than you lose. If you feel dizzy or experience confusion, your body may be telling you it needs more water.
Follow these few simple tips for a safe, happy summer!

既有美好的天气，又是美好的夏日，让人想到户外去游玩，不过，我们也要学会如何避开夏季一些危险的事情。
晒伤
夏天的阳光很强烈，特别是从上午10点到下午4点之间。因此，应尽量避免在这段时间待在户外。若非得外出，要使用防晒系数15以上的防晒乳，有时我们会疏忽像是耳朵，脖子和脚背等部位，一定要记得涂抹。在户外待好几个小时的话，每30分钟就要再次涂防晒乳。
如果晒伤了，可以泡冷水澡，并且涂抹缓解晒伤的晒伤舒缓乳。
蚊子
蚊子和其他昆虫在炎热的夏季月份里会增多。由于许多蚊虫都带有疾病的病原，所以应该尽可能遮蔽身体，双手和其他暴露在外面的部位，可使用驱虫的喷剂。
戏水危险
每年都发生许多戏水意外和溺毙事件。到游泳池、湖旁或河边戏水的人，都一定要学会游泳。
儿童在浅水区也可能溺毙。孩子在水边游玩时，大人要时刻盯紧，并且勿远离孩童。
水分不足
在酷热的阳光下工作或游玩，可能导致身体流失大量的水分。饮水量要超过流失量是极为重要的。如果感到晕眩或开始觉得意识不清，可能是身体正在传输出你需要更多水分的讯息。
遵守这个简单的秘诀，就可以度过既安全又快乐的夏天。
