Autumn and winter are cold and flu season -- when people are most likely to catch the viruses that cause influenza and the common cold.
秋季和冬季是伤风和流行性感冒的季节，因为在这个时期人们容易感染导致流行性感冒和普通伤风的病毒。
Is the old advice true that dressing warmly will help prevent a cold? Or if you do get sick, should you follow the old saying, "Feed a cold and starve a fever"? 以前的穿暖和一些能够抵御伤风的建议是否正确呢？或者当你已经生病，你是否应该相信那句俗话：“得了伤风就会不会发烧”呢？
And what about that fever? Should you take medication to reduce your temperature, or is it better to let the body treat the infection itself?
那么发烧了又怎样呢？你是应该吃些药来退烧呢还是让身体自己来抵御疾病好一些呢？
Everyone seems to have an answer. But how much value is there in popular wisdom?
每个人似乎都有一个答案。但是在受大众欢迎的正确判断中又有多少价值标准呢？
Doctor Alvin Nelson El Armin knows a lot about cold and flu season in California. He is medical director of the immunization program for the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health.
Alvin Nelson El Armin医生非常了解加利福尼亚州的伤风感冒时节。他是洛杉矶社会健康部免疫项目的医学主任。
Doctor Nelson El Armin says research may be just starting to provide evidence for long-held beliefs. For example, scientists for years dismissed the idea that getting cold and wet might cause colds or flu.
Nelson El Armin医生说研究也许只是开始为人们长期坚持的信仰提供证据而已。比如说，医生们抛弃了寒冷和潮湿可以导致伤风感冒的想法已经很多年了。
But recent studies have shown that cold temperatures cause stress on the body. That stress can create conditions more inviting to viruses. So maybe it does make sense to wrap up warmly before going outside.
但是最近的研究表明寒冷的温度会导致身体上的压力。而压力会给病毒入侵创造良好的条件。所以说外出时穿得暖和点也许是明智的。
And what about the advice to feed a cold and starve a fever? Doctor Nelson El Amin says if you have a cold and are hungry, you should eat. But a fever, especially a high one, suggests a more serious problem. He says people are usually not hungry anyway when they have a high fever. Eating might even cause a person to vomit. But drinking plenty of liquids is important. A fever can easily dehydrate the body.
那么得了上风就不会发烧的建议又怎么样呢？Nelson El Amin医生说如果你得了伤风并且感觉很饿，你就应该吃东西。但对于发烧，尤其是高烧，暗示着一个更严重的问题。他说人们在发高烧时通常是不会感觉到饿的。吃东西可能会导致呕吐。但是和大量的饮料是很重要的。发烧很容易让一个人脱水。

Finally, when should you treat a fever? Doctor Nelson El Armin says a fever should be treated if it stays at forty degrees centigrade or above for a day or more. A temperature that high can damage brain cells. The doctor also believes in treating a fever if it prevents a person from sleeping.

最终，你应该什么时候去治疗发烧呢？Nelson El Armin医生说如果一次高烧在一天或长于一天的时间内都维持在40℃或40℃以上就应该采取治疗了。这么高的温度将会损害脑细胞。这位医生还认为如果高烧使一个人无法睡眠也是应当采取治疗的。

Aspirin, acetaminophen and ibuprofen can all be used to reduce pain and fever. But aspirin should not be given to children because it can cause a rare condition.

阿司匹林，布洛芬以及醋氨氛都能用于减少疼痛及退烧。但是阿司匹林不能用于儿童，因为它将导致一种罕见的疾病。

One belief that Doctor Nelson El Armin wanted to make clear is wrong is that influenza vaccine can cause the flu. It cannot. Sometimes people get the flu from another person soon after they get vaccinated, so they blame the vaccine, he says.

Nelson El Armin医生想解释的是人们通常所认为的流感疫苗会导致流感的想法是错误的。流感疫苗不会导致流感。他说，有时候，人们刚注射完疫苗又被其他人传染上流感，所以他们讲责任都归咎于流感疫苗。

But, flu vaccines do not protect everyone who gets them. Still, even if a person does get sick, the vaccine can limit the effects of the virus.

但是流感疫苗并不会保护到每个注射过它的人。然而，即便是一个人生病了，疫苗还是会降低病毒对人体的影响。

红色标记是本来会的词但听错的地方，蓝色标记是生词或拿不准的地方

Wednesday, October fifteenth, is the first Global Handwashing Day. Activities are planned in more than twenty countries to get millions of people in the developing world to wash their hands with soap.
10月15日，星期三，是全球第一个洗手日。有二十多个国家安排了各项活动为的是让发展中国家上百万的人民洗手时能用上香皂。

For example, private donors will give one hundred fifty thousand bars of soap to schools in Ethiopia. The Education Ministry wants one million schoolchildren to wash their hands for Wednesday's event.
例如，私人捐献者们将会向埃塞俄比亚的学校们捐赠15万块香皂。教育部想让100万在校儿童在周三这天以洗手的方式来记念全球洗手日。

Hand washing can prevent the spread of disease
洗手可以预防疾病的传播。

Experts say people around the world wash their hands but very few use soap at so-called critical moments. These include after using the toilet, after cleaning a baby and before touching food.
专家们说世界上的人们在这些被认为至关重要的瞬间会洗手但很少会用香皂洗。这些瞬间包括用完厕所后，给婴儿洗完澡后，以及接触食物之前。

Global Handwashing Day is the idea of the Public-Private Partnership for Handwashing with Soap. Partners include the United Nations Children's Fund, American government agencies, the World Bank and soap makers Unilever and Procter and Gamble. The goal, they say, is to create a culture of hand washing with soap.
全球洗手日是一些倡导用香皂洗手的民众私人合作伙伴的主意。这些合作伙伴包括联合国儿童基金会，美国政府机构，世界银行集团以及一些香皂制造商Unilever、Procter 和Gamble。他们说目的是建立一种用香皂洗手的文化。

The organizers say all soaps are equally effective at removing disease-causing germ . They say the correct way to wash is to wet your hands with a small amount of water and cover them with soap. Rub it into all areas, including under the fingernails. Rub for at least twenty seconds.
这些组织者们称所有的香皂在预防由细菌引起的疾病的方面功效是一样的。他们说正确的洗手方法是先用少量的水浸湿双手后涂上香皂。然后进行全方位的揉搓，包括手指甲。至少揉搓20秒。

Then, rinse well under running water. Finally, dry your hands with a clean cloth or wave them in the air.
然后在流动水中清洗干净。最后，用一块干净的布去擦干或者是在空气中甩干双手。

The Partnership for Handwashing says soap is important because it increases the time that people spend washing. Soap also helps to break up the grease and dirt that hold most of the germs. And it usually leaves a pleasant smell, which increases the likelihood that people will wash again.
该合作组织称香皂之所以如此重要是因为它会延长人们洗手的时间。香皂还会分解蕴藏着大部分细菌的油脂和污垢。而且它往往会留下一些香味，这些香味会增加人们想再次洗手的可能性。

The partnership says washing with soap before eating and after using the toilet could save more lives than any vaccine or medicine. It could help reduce cases of diarrhea by almost half. And it could reduce deaths from pneumonia and other breathing infections by one-fourth.
这个合作团体称在吃东西前及用完厕所后用香皂洗手比起任何疫苗和药物能挽救更多生命。它有助于减少将近一半的痢疾的病例。而且它还降低了近四分之一的由肺炎及其他呼吸道传染病引起的死亡率。

Diarrhea is the second leading cause of child deaths, killing more than one and a half million children a year. Pneumonia is the leading cause, killing about two million children under five each year. Hand washing can also prevent the spread of other diseases.
痢疾是导致儿童死亡的第二大杀手，它每年导致150多万的儿童死亡。肺炎是第一大杀手，每年将杀死大约200万五岁以下的儿童。洗手还将阻止其他疾病的传播。

When people get germs on their hands, they can infect themselves by touching their eyes, nose or mouth. Then they can infect others.
当人们接触到手上的细菌时，他们会通过触摸眼睛、鼻子或者嘴的方式感染到他自己。然后他们又将传染给其他人。
