导语：2024年的大寒，强冷空气自北向南席卷全国30省市，剧烈降温幅度可达16度，开启“速冻”模式，多地降温又降雪，就连西南端的云南省会昆明也降下小雪，温度直逼冰点。普洱情况还好，强弩之末势不能穿鲁缟。今天的普洱依旧阳光灿烂，中午阳光下还有点小热。不过北回归线以南的区域就凤毛麟角，很多人还需要与寒冷战斗，而明天开始，普洱也会受此影响降雨和小幅降温。这里给出几个对抗寒冷，愉快温暖的度过黎明前黑暗的建议。

How to Keep Warm in Winter

You may be unable to use heating to keep warm during the colder months. Here are some cost-effective tips on how to keep you and your home warm this winter.

在寒冷的月份里，你可能无法使用暖气来保暖。这里有一些性价比高的小贴士，教你如何在这个冬天让你和你的家保持温暖。

1. Keeping your body warm

1.维持身体温暖

Extremely cold weather can have a negative impact on our health. People with respiratory problems such as asthma, or heart conditions are at particular risk during the winter months. Our bodies need to be kept at a core body temperature of 37°C to stay healthy, which means rooms should be heated to a minimum of 18°C.

极端寒冷的天气会对我们的健康有负面影响。患有如哮喘等呼吸系统疾病或心脏疾病的人在冬季尤其危险。我们的身体需要保持在37度的核心体温来保持健康，这意味着房间最低应升温到18摄氏度以上。

Wearing lots of layers rather than one thick piece of clothing will help trap your body heat and keep you warmer. Clothes made with insulating material, like wool jumpers and thermal underwear, are best for keeping you warm at home. Using a hot water bottle is also an inexpensive way to stay warmer for longer. It's also important to avoid sitting still for long periods of time -move around and keep as active as possible. This will help boost your circulation and keep you warm.

多穿几层衣服，而不是只穿一件厚衣服，这样做可以帮助你将身体内的热量留存住，变得更暖和。穿上比如羊毛套头衫和保暖内衣比等由隔热材料制成的衣服，这最适合在家里穿着来保暖。使用保温热水袋也是一种省钱的保暖方式。避免长时间坐着不动也很重要——要多四处走动，尽可能保持活跃。这将有助于促进你的血液循环和保暖。

2. Staying warm at night

2.晚上保持温暖

Temperatures plummet when it gets dark, so in winter it's important to know how to keep your bedroom as warm as possible at night. As with any room, exclude any draughts, close the windows when it's cold, and put down rugs to insulate the floor.

天黑时气温骤降，所以在冬天，知道如何在晚上保持卧室尽可能温暖是很重要的。和任何房间一样，除了通风和变冷的时候，其余时间都可以关上窗户，地上也可以铺上地毯，与冰冷的地板隔绝开来。

Bedding: Staying warm in bed is vital for us all in winter. Use extra blankets, or buy flannel or fleece bedding if you can. These materials are the warmest bedding options, as they trap body heat and are better insulators than cotton. Using thicker tog duvets will also provide warmth.

床上用品：冬天在床上保持温暖对我们所有人来说都是至关重要的。如果可以的话，使用额外的毯子或者购买法兰绒或羊毛等床上用品。这些材料是最温暖的床上用品，因为这类材料能留住人体热量，而且比棉花隔热效果更好。使用较厚的羽绒被也会给到你温暖。

Electric or weighted blankets: An electric blanket is a lot cheaper to run than a heater and provides a constant source of heat throughout the night. Weighted blankets are also very comforting and help you stay warm as they don't let draughty air into the bed.

电热毯或加厚毛毯：电热毯比加热器便宜得多，而且整个晚上都能提供恒定的热源。加厚的毯子也非常舒适，可以帮助你保持温暖，因为厚毯子不会让气流进入被窝里。

3. Keeping your house warm

3.维持房子温暖

Heating one room during the day is a cost-effective way to keep your house warm and your energy bill down. Here are a few ways to keep a room warm without using central heating.

白天给一个房间供暖是一种较为划算的方式，既能保持房子温暖，又能降低能源开销。这里有一些不用中央供暖也能保持房间温暖的方法。

Open your curtains during the day -the sun still provides warmth, even in the winter months. Make sure you close them as soon as the sun sets to keep the warm air in. Investing in thicker curtains, or thermal curtain liners, will help keep the cold air out and prevent heat loss.

白天把窗帘拉开——即使在冬天太阳也能提供温暖。确保太阳一落山就把窗帘关上，保持温暖的空气（不跑走）。花钱买下更厚的窗帘，或热窗帘衬里，以免让冷空气进来，防止热量损失。
