Many people look forward to the return of warmer “temperatures” (how cold or warm it is outside) in the spring and summer months. Whether you're relaxing in the “backyard” (outdoor area behind one’s house), “gardening” (planting and growing flowers, vegetables, and other plants), enjoying the “pool” (small area built for swimming), or exploring “the great outdoors” (nature), here are some ways to help keep you and your family healthy this spring and summer.
許多人期待春夏季節回歸的溫暖「氣溫」(外面冷熱的程度)。無論您是在「後院」(房子後面的戶外區域)放鬆、「園藝」(種植和培養花卉、蔬菜和其他植物)、享受「游泳池」(用於游泳的小區域),還是探索「大自然」,這裡有一些方法可以幫助您和您的家人在這個春夏季保持健康。
In the warmer months, people like to cook food on the “grill” (metal surface placed over fire to cook meat and vegetables).
在更溫暖的月份,人們喜歡在「烤架」上烹飪食物(放在火上燒烤肉類和蔬菜的金屬表面)。
When grilling, use a meat “thermometer” (device used to measure temperature) to make sure that you cook meat and “poultry” (chicken and other birds people eat) thoroughly.
烤肉時,使用肉類「溫度計」(用於測量溫度的設備)來確保肉類和「家禽」(人們食用的雞肉和其他禽類)烹煮完全。
Also, put cooked meat on a clean “platter” (large plate), rather than back on the one that held the “raw” (uncooked) meat, to avoid “cross-contamination” (the transfer of “bacteria” (harmful substance that causes illness) from one place to another).
此外,將熟食放在乾淨的「大盤子」上,而不是放回放有「生」(未煮熟)肉類的盤子上,以避免「交叉污染」(從一個地方轉移到另一個地方的「細菌」(引起疾病的有害物質))。

Avoid being outdoors during the “midday” (the middle of the day) if the sun is “intense” (very strong), use “sunscreen” (lotion or liquid to protect one’s skin from the effects of the sun), “cover up” (protect the skin) with clothing, wear a “brimmed hat” (hat with a wide edge at the bottom to cover the face), and wear “sunglasses” (dark glasses) that block harmful “rays” (light from the sun).
