Well, our bodies are always striving to keep a core temperature of about 37 degrees Celsius. In hot weather, the body has to work harder to keep its core temperature down.
我們的身體總是盡力將核心體溫維持在37攝氏度左右。天氣熱的時候，身體就必須加倍努力將核心體溫降低以維持在正常范圍內(nèi)。
More blood vessels near the skin are opened to lose heat, and we start sweating – because when sweat evaporates, it cools us down dramatically.
這時，更多靠近皮膚的血管會擴張以散熱，同時我們開始流汗，因為汗水蒸發(fā)的時候會大幅降低身體溫度。
When the weather is hot and humid, it's harder for sweat to evaporate, and your body has to work even harder.
