十个方法 让你清凉过夏天（双语）

1. Just add water.
想降温 加点水

Soak a t-shirt in the sink, wring it out, put it on and sit in a chair that lets air through to you in front of a fan.
将T恤浸泡在水中，拧干后穿在身上，坐在能透风的椅子上吹风扇。

2. Sweat it out.
多出汗

Water vapor produced by sweating actually takes heat away from your body. The best thing to do is to put your sweaty self in the path of a cool breeze or fan.
出汗时的水蒸气能将体内的热量带出来，最好是大汗淋漓的站在通风处。

3. Dress for the heat.
穿衣之道

Wear natural fabrics (cotton, silk, linen) rather than artificial fibers.
尽量穿棉、丝、亚麻等自然纤维材质的衣服，不穿人造纤维。

Wear Light Colors: Darker colors will absorb the sun`s rays and be warmer than light or white clothing, which reflects light and heat.
穿浅色衣服：深色衣服会吸收太阳射线，浅色和白色衣服能够将光和热反射出去，因此深色衣服比浅、白色衣服的温度高。

Cover Up: Covering up may actually keep your cooler, especially if the heat is low in humidity. By protecting your skin from the sun beating down, you`ll also shade your skin. Be sure your clothing is natural fabrics, and loose.
注意遮盖：适当遮盖会让你更凉快，尤其是当天气热，湿度却较低时。遮盖能让你的皮肤免受太阳直射。当然，记得衣服最好是自然纤维并且要宽松哦。

4. Go downstairs.
下楼去乘凉

Warm air is less dense than cooler air so it ends up layered on top of the downward moving cooler air. Make your way to the basement or lower level. It will be cooler there.
热空气比冷空气密度小，因此热空气总在冷空气上方。去地下室或者较低的地方吧，那里会更凉快。

5. Keep the air flowing.
保持空气流通

In the evening, open windows and use fans to create a cross-breeze, circulating cooler evening/night air through the rooms. As soon as the sun hits the building the next morning, close all windows and keep doors and windows closed throughout the day until it is cooler outside than it is inside. Leaving kitchen cabinets open all night helps too; if you leave them closed, they store the heat.
在晚上，打开窗户或者用风扇让空气保持对流，让凉快的晚风能够穿过房子。次日清晨，当太阳直射房子的时候，一整个白天都关闭所有门窗，直到室外比室内凉快后再通风。夜间把厨房的橱柜全部打开，否则关闭的橱柜里也会储存一些热量。

6. Turn off electrical heat sources.
切断电热源

Turn off the stove or other sources of heat. Turn off your lamps, as well as your computer when you`re not using it. Turn off your TV.
关掉炉子等热源。关掉所有不用的灯、电脑、和电视。
