瞧你，晒的！

Ｊｏｎｈ

Mary: Oh my god! Have you seen Wendy!

Samantha: No. What's wrong with her?

Wendy: What's wrong with who?

Samantha: Wendy, your skin! You're like a lobster. Didn't you put on any sunscreen?

Wendy: What? I put some on this morning.

Mary: You only put it on once today! You're going to be in agony tomorrow.

Samantha: Forget the pain, what if she gets skin cancer! I can't believe you could be so stupid.

Wendy: Jeez. OK, I'm sorry but I'm the one with the sunburn here. How about a little sympathy.

Samantha: I'll give you some sympathy tomorrow. Now put on this aftersun lotion and here's my hat and sunglasses. Now get out of the sun and sit in the shade, you idiot!

Mary: Typical Wendy. She never uses any common sense. Look here's her sunblock it just has a SPF of 15 and this brand hardly protects you from any UV-A.

Samantha: You'd think in this day and age people would be more careful. Sheeesh. Hey, do you have any of that water-resistant sunblock? I'm going for a swim to cool down.

Mary: Sure. Use this, it's great stuff. It's zinc based and don't worry, it's broad-spectrum, you're really well protected from both UV-A and UV-B rays.

Samantha: Zinc? So I'm going to be totally covered in that white residue.

Mary: Hey, you wanted great protection, right? So what's a little white stuff compared to your health.

Samantha: I know, it's not that. This is a new swimsuit, and I don't want any stains.

Mary: Come on. This is me you're talking to, fashion queen of the beach. I have no peers, remember. You think I would use a sunscreen lotion that would stain my clothes. Please, get real.

Samantha (laughing): Sorry, I don't know what I was thinking. Thanks, see you in a bit.

Mary: Hi. How's your skin feeling?

Wendy: If I stay completely still it's OK. Why did this have to happen to me? I used protection.

Mary: You're kidding, right? You only used a factor 15. That's way too low for today. You should have used at least a 40.

Wendy: I just wanted a good tan. I figured the higher factors would block too much of the sun's rays. Anyway shouldn't it have lasted longer I wasn't in the sun that long.

Mary: OK Wendy, listen up. You're meant to put it on regularly at least every two hours. Also you went for a swim, right?

Wendy: We are at the beach, you know.

Mary: Funny. You won't find it so amusing tonight when you're trying to sleep. Look, the sea washes it off if you're not wearing a water resistant brand which yours wasn't. Next time, after a swim put some more on, OK?

Wendy: No problem. I never want to feel like this again. Argh, my skin's peeling. (crying)

Mary: Hey, it will be OK. Come on, I'll put some more aftersun on. It should ease the pain.

瞧你,晒的!

玛丽:哦,天呀!你见过温蒂了吗?

萨曼塔:没啊,她怎么了?

温蒂:谁怎么了?

萨曼塔:温蒂,你的皮肤!你像是一只煮熟的龙虾。你没有涂防晒霜吗?

温蒂:什么?今天早晨涂过了。

玛丽:今天只涂了一次!明天你就有的受啦。

萨曼塔:忽略这些痛苦吧,要是她得了皮肤癌呢!真不敢相信你竟这么傻。

温蒂:呀!好吧,很抱歉,但我是这里唯一一个被晒伤的。就不能同情一下我?

萨曼塔:改明儿我会同情你的。现在涂上这个晒后修复乳,戴上我的帽子和太阳镜。现在避开阳光,坐在阴凉的地方,小笨蛋!

玛丽:温蒂就是这样。她就没点儿常识。看看她防晒乳的防晒指数就只有15,而且这个牌子几乎不能够防御紫外线。

萨曼塔:你想,在当今这个时代,人们真该更注意。咳。嘿,你有那种防水的防晒霜吗?我要去游个泳,凉快凉快。

玛丽:当然有。用这个,很不错的。里面含锌,不用担心,它可以阻止多种光谱,有效遮挡长波紫外线和中波紫外线。

萨曼塔:锌?所以我全身都要涂上这种白色残渣。

玛丽:嘿,你想要有效防晒,不是吗?那么,跟你的健康相比,这点儿白东西算什么。

萨曼塔:我知道,事实不是你想象的这样。这是一件新的泳衣,我不想染上色。

玛丽:拜托!你现在跟我这个沙滩流行女王说话,你该知道无人能与我匹敌。你想我会用那种可能弄脏我衣服的防晒霜吗?醒醒吧。

萨曼塔(笑了笑):不好意思,我不知道自己在想什么。谢谢,待会儿见。

玛丽:嗨,你感觉怎么样?

温蒂:如果我坐着不动,就没事。怎么会这样呢?我涂过防晒霜了。

玛丽:你开玩笑呢吧。你用的防晒指数只有15。这也太低了,今天你该涂抹防晒指数至少40的。

温蒂:我只想好好地享受阳光。我想高倍数的防晒霜会阻挡太多的阳光。不管怎么说,我又没有在阳光下待那么长时间,防晒效果不应该持续更长吗?

玛丽:好吧,温蒂。听着,你本该至少每两个小时涂一次防晒霜。而且你下水游泳了,对吧?

温蒂:你看,我们可是在沙滩啊。

玛丽:搞笑。今天晚上你睡觉的时候,你就不会觉得这有趣了。听着,如果你涂的防晒霜不是防水的,海水会把它冲洗掉,而你的就不防水。下次,游完泳再涂上些防晒霜,好吗?

温蒂:一定的。我再也不想像这样了。啊,我要脱皮了。(大叫)

玛丽:嘿,慢慢就会好了。来,我再给你涂些晒后修复乳。这会让你不那么疼。

如今没人相信这种无稽之谈。

SPF 是防晒指数的英文缩写,全称为Sun Protection Factor。它是根据皮肤的最低红斑剂量来确定的,即皮肤在日晒后出现红斑的最短日晒时间。通常人皮肤的最低红斑剂量是15分钟,那么,抹上SPF8号防晒乳,你可以在阳光下呆上8倍的时间(15分钟×8),也就是说,呆上120分钟而不会晒伤皮肤。SPF值越大,防晒乳保护功效越强。
