114. Preserving Food in the Summer 夏季保护食品

You should be more careful than usual of the food you prepare in the summer because food goes bad faster in hot weather. When you are shopping, especially buying frozen food, don't make long stops on the way home. It can help keep food cold if you use insulated bags until you can get home. Milk and milk products should be refrigerated immediately.

夏季人们要特别注意保护准备的食品，因为天气炎热，食品比平常更容易变坏。当你去采买时，尤其是购买冷冻食品时，回家的路上不能停留过久，使用保温袋有助于在途中保持食品处于低温状态。牛奶和奶制品要立即放入冰箱。

When you go camping or go for a picnic, don't leave food in a hot car or traveling bag. Favorite picnic food, such as meat, chicken and salad, should be kept in a cooler.

露营和野餐时，食物不要放在车里或者旅行袋里，通常带的猪肉、鸡肉和色拉要放在冰桶内。

Above all, if the food doesn't seem to be normal in odor or appearance, don't taste it and throw it away.

总之，一旦发现食品的气味或表面出现异常，停止食用，立即扔掉。
