《打喷嚏的原因》 作者：伊迪·埃文斯 绘者：马特·洛弗里奇 核心问题 我们打喷嚏的时候，身体会发生什么变化？

The reason for sneezing is really quite clear. You breathe in some dust and blow it out in the air.

打喷嚏的原因其实非常好懂哦。 你吸进了一些灰尘，就会把它喷到空气中。

Your nose gets a tickle because of this dust. Your body rejects it. It should and it must.

这些灰尘会让你的鼻子痒痒的。 你的身体要把它排出去。 这是理所当然，也是必须的哦。

The way that you sneeze is always the same. Information is sent to your lungs from your brain.

打喷嚏的过程从来都是一样的。 大脑会把信号发送到你的肺部。

Many muscles contract to push that sneeze through. That's your diaphragm, belly, and chest muscles, too.

很多肌肉会收缩，把喷嚏推出来。 这其中包括你的横膈膜、腹部还有胸部肌肉哦。

Your eyes shut, your tongues on the roof of your mouth. This forces your nose to blow that breath out.

你会闭上眼睛，舌头抵住上颚， 这会迫使你的鼻子把那股气喷出来。
