第4章 Is Higher SPF better (1)
不畏强光，智慧防晒
There are many misconceptions with sunscreen. You have those people who think that getting the highest SPF will protect them better than a lower SPF. Then， there are those who won’t use sunscreen with a high SPF because they think they won’t get a tan.
Here are the facts.
Higher SPF’s aren’t always necessary. You need to look at a couple of things when you are shopping for sunscreen. First， how light is your skin tone？ Those with lighter skin will usually burn faster than those with darker or olive skin. If your skin starts to turn red fast， you’ll want a higher SPF.
But what does the SPF rating really mean？
SPF stands for Sun Protection Factor. To figure out how long you are safe from the sun (at least the UVB rays) you need to do a little math. Take the number of SPF and multiply it by 10. That is the time that if you were under perfect conditions， you’d be safe from the sun’s rays.
For example： SPF 20 x 10 = 200 minutes of sun protection.
Perfect conditions mean that you aren’t in water or sweating. Because you want to be safe from the sun， I’d recommend applying every 1-2 hours， no matter the SPF.
对于防晒，有不少误区。很多人认为高SPF比低SPF防晒的效果更好。还有一些人认为自己不会晒黑，所以根本不需要高防晒指数的防晒霜。
然而事实并非如此。
高的防晒指数并非总是必需的。当你购买防晒霜时，你需要考虑以下几点。首先，你的肤色如何？亮色皮肤的人较暗色或橄榄色肌肤的人更容易晒伤。如果你的肌肤很容易变红，那你就需要高防晒指数的防晒霜。
但是防晒指数等级到底指的是什么呢？
SPF是防晒系数的意思。需要计算一下才能知道你在太阳下可以待多久而不会被晒伤(至少不被UVB射线晒伤)。将SPF系数乘以10得出来的时间就是防晒产品的保护时间。
例如：SPF20的防晒产品可以保护200分钟之久。
理想的条件意味着你不是在水里或是在出汗。要做到防晒，我的建议是，不管防晒系数是多少，每隔一两个小时涂一次防晒霜。

第一章 The Guide to What University Girls Are Wearing
校园MM，穿衣有道
What kinds of clothes do college girls need for school？ When thinking about what to buy and what to bring， here’s one word to keep in mind： practical！ You can be a campus fashion icon if that makes you happy， but most students prefer to spend their time and money on other things. College life is stressful， and you’re going to want to be comfortable more often than you’ll want to be stylish.
So what kinds of clothes should you bring to college？ Here are a few practical fashion tips.
Bring comfortable clothes
You may be the type who doesn’t mind a little discomfort in the name of fashion， and that’s fine. But there will be days when cozy clothes are a must， like during finals or the day after a nasty breakup， so make sure you have them on hand. Think T-shirts， sweats， and cozy jeans.
Wear comfortable walking shoes
Unless you enjoy being miserable， this is mandatory. Ladies， please don’t walk around campus in high-heeled pumps. This isn’t Sex and the City—it’s a college campus， and you’re going to be walking constantly. Save the cute heels for the weekend.
Bring low maintenance clothes
Time is at a premium in college. If it needs hand washing， don’t bring it. Heck， if it needs ironing， don’t bring it.
Bring weather appropriate clothes
Keep in mind that you’ll be walking around campus all the time， so if your school is in a cold climate， bring a heavy coat， scarf， gloves， and waterproof boots. Wear whatever you need to keep warm even if it messes up your outfit. If whomever it is you’re trying to impress likes you less with hat hair， this isn’t someone worthy of your attention.
Don’t come to class half naked
Save the sexy stuff for the weekends， and come to class looking a little more professional. If you wear a micro-mini skirt， pair it with a big sweater.
Bring clothes you can layer
You’re going to be coming in from the cold into overheated classrooms， and in from the heat into classrooms fit for a polar bear.
大学女生应该穿什么样的衣服呢？当你想自己应该买什么和带什么的时候，有一个原则要时刻牢记：实用！当然如果成为大学时尚达人让你觉得很幸福，你也可以朝这个方向努力。不过大多数的学生还是喜欢把自己的时间和金钱花在别的事情上。大学生活压力重重，在舒适与时尚之间，大家总会偏向前者。
