瞧你，曬的！

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,曬的!

瑪麗:哦,天呀!你見過溫蒂了嗎?

薩曼塔:沒啊,她怎么了?

溫蒂:誰怎么了?

薩曼塔:溫蒂,你的皮膚!你像是一只煮熟的龍蝦。你沒有涂防曬霜嗎?

溫蒂:什么?今天早晨涂過了。

瑪麗:今天只涂了一次!明天你就有的受啦。

薩曼塔:忽略這些痛苦吧,要是她得了皮膚癌呢!真不敢相信你竟這么傻。

溫蒂:呀!好吧,很抱歉,但我是這里唯一一個被曬傷的。就不能同情一下我?

薩曼塔:改明兒我會同情你的。現(xiàn)在涂上這個曬后修復(fù)乳,戴上我的帽子和太陽鏡?，F(xiàn)在避開陽光,坐在陰涼的地方,小笨蛋!

瑪麗:溫蒂就是這樣。她就沒點兒常識?？纯此罆袢榈姆罆裰笖?shù)就只有15,而且這個牌子幾乎不能夠防御紫外線。

薩曼塔:你想,在當(dāng)今這個時代,人們真該更注意?？取：?你有那種防水的防曬霜嗎?我要去游個泳,涼快涼快。

瑪麗:當(dāng)然有。用這個,很不錯的。里面含鋅,不用擔(dān)心,它可以阻止多種光譜,有效遮擋長波紫外線和中波紫外線。

薩曼塔:鋅?所以我全身都要涂上這種白色殘渣。

瑪麗:嘿,你想要有效防曬,不是嗎?那么,跟你的健康相比,這點兒白東西算什么。

薩曼塔:我知道,事實不是你想象的這樣。這是一件新的泳衣,我不想染上色。

瑪麗:拜托!你現(xiàn)在跟我這個沙灘流行女王說話,你該知道無人能與我匹敵。你想我會用那種可能弄臟我衣服的防曬霜嗎?醒醒吧。

薩曼塔(笑了笑):不好意思,我不知道自己在想什么。謝謝,待會兒見。

瑪麗:嗨,你感覺怎么樣?

溫蒂:如果我坐著不動,就沒事。怎么會這樣呢?我涂過防曬霜了。

瑪麗:你開玩笑呢吧。你用的防曬指數(shù)只有15。這也太低了,今天你該涂抹防曬指數(shù)至少40的。

溫蒂:我只想好好地享受陽光。我想高倍數(shù)的防曬霜會阻擋太多的陽光。不管怎么說,我又沒有在陽光下待那么長時間,防曬效果不應(yīng)該持續(xù)更長嗎?

瑪麗:好吧,溫蒂。聽著,你本該至少每兩個小時涂一次防曬霜。而且你下水游泳了,對吧?

溫蒂:你看,我們可是在沙灘啊。

瑪麗:搞笑。今天晚上你睡覺的時候,你就不會覺得這有趣了。聽著,如果你涂的防曬霜不是防水的,海水會把它沖洗掉,而你的就不防水。下次,游完泳再涂上些防曬霜,好嗎?

溫蒂:一定的。我再也不想像這樣了。啊,我要脫皮了。(大叫)

瑪麗:嘿,慢慢就會好了。來,我再給你涂些曬后修復(fù)乳。這會讓你不那么疼。

Notes:

In this day and age

意為“在當(dāng)今時代”。

例句:Nobody believes such nonsense in this day and age.

如今沒人相信這種無稽之談。

SPF 是防曬指數(shù)的英文縮寫,全稱為Sun Protection Factor。它是根據(jù)皮膚的最低紅斑劑量來確定的,即皮膚在日曬后出現(xiàn)紅斑的最短日曬時間。通常人皮膚的最低紅斑劑量是15分鐘,那么,抹上SPF8號防曬乳,你可以在陽光下呆上8倍的時間(15分鐘×8),也就是說,呆上120分鐘而不會曬傷皮膚。SPF值越大,防曬乳保護功效越強。
