Glasses fogging up?
眼鏡起霧了?
新冠疫情給戴眼鏡的人帶來了「專屬」煩惱:一戴上口罩,鏡片立刻就起霧了。
The COVID-19 pandemic brings with it a problem unique to those who wear glasses: The moment the face mask goes on, those lenses instantly fog up.
這一惱人的問題是由於你的身體和鏡片之間存在溫差。當你呼吸時,口鼻中呼出的熱氣從口罩上方排出,凝結成水滴,在鏡片上遇冷起霧。
It's an annoying quirk that boils down to the difference in temperature between your body and your glasses. When you breathe, the warm air that leaves your mouth and nose escapes through the top of your mask, turns into condensation, and fogs up the cool surface of your lenses.
下面這些方法能保證在疫情期間你的鏡片清晰不起霧,四點小貼士幫你在戴口罩時拒絕眼鏡起霧~
There are measures you can take to ensure your vision remains crystal clear throughout the pandemic. Here are 5 tips to help you avoid foggy glasses while wearing a face mask.
Use soap and water
用肥皂和水
鏡片上殘留的肥皂會形成一層薄膜,降低起霧的可能。
There's a film of soap that's left over which might
reduce the risk of fogging
美國國家生物技術信息中心稱,眼鏡起霧是由呼氣水分子間的表面張力造成的。殘留肥皂水形成的薄膜降低了表面張力(the surface tension),使水分子(water molecules)均勻分散開,不再聚集在鏡片上形成霧氣。
Wear your glasses over your mask
把眼鏡戴在口罩上
改變眼鏡位置可以讓鏡片免受熱氣侵擾。
Changing the position of your glasses might divert the warm air away from your lenses.
如果你發現每次呼氣鏡片都會起霧,可以試著把口罩向上拉,將眼鏡鼻託處壓在口罩上。
If you're finding that your vision gets cloudy with every breath you take, try pulling the top of your mask higher onto your face so that your glasses are sitting on top of the material.
Mind the gap
注意空隙
如果你的口罩上有可調節的鼻梁條,請按照自己鼻梁的輪廓將其按壓固定好,以獲得更好的密封性。
If you have a mask that has an adjustable nose
bridge strip, mould thestrip to follow the contours of
your nose for a tighter seal.
要保證口罩完美貼合(fits securely)鼻梁,如果你的口罩上有可調節的(adjustable)鼻梁條,請按照自己鼻梁的輪廓將其按壓固定好,以獲得更好的密封性(tighter seal)。
Tape it down
用膠帶粘住
對付口罩空隙的另一個方法是用膠帶沿鼻梁粘住
Another way to close the gap at the top of a mask is to tape it down across the bridge ofyour nose.
早在疫情到來之前,一些經常帶眼鏡的醫護人員就會用一塊醫用膠帶(medical tape)粘住口罩上方,防止溼潤的熱氣散出。要確保你所使用的是對皮膚無害的(safe for use on skin)醫用膠帶或運動膠帶。
Use a tissue
使用紙巾
如果你的眼鏡還是起霧,可以試著將面巾紙水平摺疊,墊在鼻梁處口罩下面。
If you're still having problems with your glasses fogging up, try folding a facial tissuehorizontally and
placing it under the top of your mask at the bridge of
your nose.
呼氣產生的溼氣(moisture)就會被紙巾吸收(absorb),而不會到達鏡片後方。
