Staying Safe in Cold Weather
Cover. Wear a hat or other protective covering to prevent body heat from escaping from your head, face and neck. Cover your hands with mittens instead of gloves. Mittens are more effective than gloves are because mittens keep your fingers in closer contact with one another.
戴帽子或其它防护物,以减少热量从头、脸和脖颈流失;戴连指手套,而不是分指的。
Overexertion. Avoid activities that would cause you to sweat a lot. The combination of wet clothing and cold weather can give you chills and Hypothermia.
不要出太多汗。湿衣服和冷天气结合,会很危险。
Layers. Wear loose fitting, layered, lightweight clothing. Outer clothing made of tightly woven, water-repellent material is best for wind protection. Wool, silk or polypropylene inner layers hold more body heat than cotton does.
多穿几层轻的衣服。外层的衣服最好要织物紧密、防水和防风。纯毛、丝或化纤的内层要比棉更好。
Dry. Stay as dry as possible. In the winter, pay special attention to places where snow can enter, such as in loose mittens or the top of snow boots.
尽可能保持干燥。注意不要让雪进到手套里,或靴子里。 |
