We asked members of the BuzzFeed Community to tell us what they did to avoid freezing to death. Here are the tricks they think will actually make you feel warmer.
我们向BuzzFeed网站的用户征集他们的御寒妙招,在这里我们想把这些妙招推荐给大家。
1. Leave your electric blanket on the lowest setting while you sleep.
睡觉时把电热毯调到最低挡
“Get a heating blanket, put it under your sheets, and turn it on about 15 minutes before you go to bed. You can leave it on the lowest setting all night. Then put your clothes under your blankets while it’s still on in the morning so they aren’t cold!”—annat438173412
“用电热毯时,把它放到床单下面,并在上床睡觉前15分钟打开它。你可以把它调到最低档然后开一整夜。如果早上还开着的话,就把衣服放到毯子下面,这样衣服穿起来就不会觉得冰凉啦!”
Note: Putting the electric blanket under your sheets does not mean sleeping on top of the blanket. When using an electric blanket, don’t simultaneously use an electric mattress pad. And definitely, before buying a blanket, make sure that it’s been fully approved by safety organizations and that it’s been tested for all-night use with automatic protection mechanisms.
注意:把电热毯放到床单下面并不是说可以紧挨着电热毯睡觉。不要同时使用多个电热毯。在选购电热毯时,一定要认准经过安全认证的产品,确保它的自动保护装置是安全有效的。
2. Blow-dry your whole body.
给全身吹个暖风
“I use a hair blow-dryer on all of my body. It’s perfect before climbing into a cold bed.” —j42f415ef1
“我用吹风机把全身都吹暖和,这样在爬上冰冷的床时就没那么痛苦了。”
3. Keep an emergency stash in your purse.
在包里储备点保暖衣物
My purse ALWAYS has a pair of socks and gloves in case of emergencies.”—andreadavison
“我的包里总是会放置一双袜子和一副手套,以备不时之需。”
4. Toss your clothes in the dryer for a few minutes.
把衣服放进烘干机里烤几分钟
“Put your underwear in the dryer for 10 minutes before you get dressed. It really keeps me warm!”—emmakloepfer
“内衣在穿之前可以先放进烘干机里烤10分钟,这样再拿出来穿可暖和啦!”
5. Turn up the heat in the kitchen (as in, bake more).
在厨房时把火开大(或者多烤点食物)
If I’m in the kitchen, I usually turn my oven on.”—Leighton James
“我在厨房通常会使用烤炉。”——莱顿·詹姆斯
Of course, don’t leave the kitchen with the oven still on, and only turn it on for a few minutes. Choose to cook with the oven more often when it gets cold. Besides, there’s never an excuse to not eat more freshly baked cookies.
但在离开厨房时千万记得关掉烤炉,过几分钟再打开。天冷时就多用用烤炉,这样还能吃到更多新鲜出炉的饼干。
6. Run your wrists under hot water to allow your whole body to warm up faster.
腕关节泡泡热水,全身跟着热得快
My uncle, who is on ski patrol, told me that the easy access to veins in your wrists allows the warmed-up blood to travel through your body, making you feel warmer after just a few seconds.”—kaelenmariec
“我的叔叔是一位滑雪巡逻队员,他告诉我说腕关节的血管容易吸收热量,可以帮助温暖的血液流遍全身,让你在短时间内暖和起来。”
7. Warm up with a hot potato.
用热土豆暖手
“What my mother used to do when we were kids was put a potato in the microwave for 20 secs and have us hold it when walking somewhere cold.”—gracegloriag
“小时候,每当我们要去一个很冷的地方,我妈妈就会拿一个土豆,把它放在微波炉里加热20秒,然后让我们拿着取暖。”
