原文及翻译

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.

你一年得几次感冒?我的大多数朋友都得过好几次感冒。他们咳嗽、抽鼻子、打喷嚏。他们随身携带纸巾，不停地擤鼻涕。他们会流泪，喉咙沙哑。

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。事实上，我可以一整年都不感冒。这就是为什么我认为自己是如何避免感冒的专家。我来告诉你怎样避免感冒。我认为你需要摄入大量的维生素c。我吃很多水果和蔬菜。我也喝果汁。我也吃维生素C片。每当我觉得要感冒的时候，我都要确保我吃了维生素C药片，并且喝了很多橙汁。这通常能把我的感冒赶走。

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.

我确保我能呼吸到很多新鲜空气。在冬天，很多建筑物都关得严严实实，这样空气就静止了，人们的细菌就会在建筑物中传播。我出去呼吸新鲜、干净的空气。如果有人粗鲁地当着我的面咳嗽或打喷嚏，而且不捂住嘴，我就会屏住呼吸一秒钟。我不确定这是否有效，但我不想吸入任何人的感冒细菌。

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.

许多细菌是通过手传播的。如果你在公共场所接触任何东西，彻底洗手是很重要的。如果我扶着扶手走下楼梯，我会想到所有用过这个扶手的人，我一定要在吃饭前洗手。门把手上也有很多细菌。

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.

许多细菌是通过手传播的。如果你在公共场所接触任何东西，彻底洗手是很重要的。如果我扶着扶手走下楼梯，我会想到所有用过这个扶手的人，我一定要在吃饭前洗手。门把手上也有很多细菌。

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.

如果你稍微考虑一下，你就可以避免很多导致感冒的细菌。如果你吃得好，保持健康，你的身体就能抵抗引起感冒和其他疾病的细菌。避免感冒并非总是可能的。
