Germs Make Me Sick

Germs Make Me Sick

病菌真讨厌(人体 )

You wake up one morning. But you don't feel like getting out of bed. Your arms and legs ache. Your head hurts. You have a fever. And your throat is sore. “ I'm sick, " you say. “ I must have caught a germ. Everyone knows that germs can make you sick. But not everyone knows how. Hurry or you will be late for school! Rise and Shine! He's Sick as a dog.

早上醒来后,你不想起床,手和脚都疼。头也很疼。你发烧了,连喉咙也疼。 “我生病了。”你说“可能是被病菌感染了。” 大家都知道，病菌会使人生病。但不是每个人都知道，病菌是怎么使人生病的。 快点起床,不然你上学要迟到了! 天亮了!起床了!

Germs are tiny living things. They are far too small to see with your eyes alone. In fact, a line of one thousand germs could fit across the top of a pencil! There are many different kinds of germs. But the two that usually make you sick are bacteria and viruses.

病菌是一些很小的生物。它们小到你用眼睛根本看不见。事实上，你的铅笔头上就可以容纳 1000 个病菌。 病菌是指使人生病的细菌。通常使你生病的，除了病菌还有病毒。

Under a microscope, some bacteria look like little round balls. Others are as straight as rods. Still others are twisted in spiral shapes. Viruses are far tinier than bacteria. Some look like balls with spikes sticking out on all sides. Others look like loaves of bread or like tadpoles. There are even some that look like metal screws with spider legs.

在显微镜下,有些病菌看起来像圆圆的球,有些像直直的木棒,还有一些是弯弯曲曲的螺旋状。 病毒比病菌还要小得多。有的病毒像球,外面有很多刺,有的像面包,有的像蝌蚪,有的甚至像长出蜘蛛脚的金属螺丝钉。

Germs, such as bacteria and viruses, are found everywhere. They are in the air you breathe, in the food you eat, in the water you drink, and on everything you touch. They are even on your skin and in your body. You should wash your hands before you eat that!

病菌和病毒在我的周围到处都有。它们在你呼吸的空气里,在你吃的食物里,在你喝的水里，也在每一个你摸到的东西上,甚至在你的皮肤上和你的身体里。

Although germs are all around, they do not always make you sick. Many germs are not harmful. Also, your body keeps out harmful germs most of the time. Your skin blocks the germs. As long as there are no cuts or scratches on your skin, germs can't get in.

虽然病菌无处不在,但不是所有的病菌都会马上使你生病。因为在大多数时候,你自己的身体能够阻挡病菌进入。 你的皮肤会阻挡病菌。只要你的皮肤没有伤口，它们就进不去了。
