不要讓生病阻礙你的旅行
We know from TV ads that it's a simple matter to get insurance cover for a holiday abroad if you have medical conditions. But what can you do yourself to keep yourself safe? There are several aspects to this ?including your medication, your jabs, what you eat, what you do and how you organise your trip.
我們從廣告中得知：如果你生病了出去玩，那最好買份海外度假保險。但你可以做些什麼保證自己的安全呢？你可以從多個方面入手，包括：藥、工作、飲食、做什麼，以及如何安排自己的旅行。
Remember, travel agents, airlines and hotels are primed to look after people with chronic ailments and disabilities. You might consider turning over your whole holiday to a specialist agent who will plan every aspect of your trip.
記住，旅遊機構、航空公司和賓館都可以很好的照顧慢性疾病患者和殘疾人士。也許，你可以考慮找一位專業代理人，他會爲你計劃好一切。
Make sure you're up to date with your routine vaccinations - MMR, chickenpox, diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis, polio and your flu jab, plus hepatitis A, typhoid and any special vaccinations for the countries you're visiting, not forgetting malaria ?prevention.
確保出國前打了常規疫苗--麻疹、腮腺炎和風疹的聯合疫苗（MMR）、水痘、白喉-破傷風-百日咳、小兒麻痹和流感疫苗，以及甲型肝炎、傷寒和您旅遊的國家要求接種的疫苗，別忘了預防瘧疾哦。
Take a first-aid kit containing insect repellent with 20% or more DEET, and a variety of dressings, bandages, motion ?sickness tablets, an antacid for ?indigestion. Plus an antiseptic cream for cuts and 1% hydrocortisone cream to soothe sunburn and insect bites.
帶上一個急救包，包裏備有驅蚊胺（DEET）含量20%以上的驅蚊液、各種各樣的敷料、創口貼、暈車藥、以及治療消化不良的抗酸劑。還有治傷口的抗菌霜、1%的氫化可的鬆乳膏以舒緩曬傷和蚊蟲叮咬。
For tummy problems I take Lomotil, and non-drowsy antihistamine tablets for allergies and rashes. Cover your sunscreen needs with a special very high SPF for your children and a 30+ SPF for yourself. Reapply every four hours, especially if you're swimming, irrespective of the maker's recommendations.
如果鬧肚子，我帶了複方苯乙哌啶片。還帶了用於過敏和皮疹的非嗜睡抗組胺藥片。用防曬指數高一點的防曬霜給孩子防曬，自己用防曬指數30+的防曬霜就行了。每隔4小時塗抹一次，尤其是游泳的時候，這時候就不要管游泳池禁止塗抹防曬霜的標語了。
Only eat "safe food" that's cooked and served hot, and fruit and veg you've washed yourself in bottled water and peeled yourself. There are countries where the purity of water can't be guaranteed so only drink water from a sealed bottle you open yourself. Ice should also be prepared from bottled water.
只吃"安全的食物"，也就是煮熟的、熱騰騰的食物。水果和蔬菜要自己用瓶裝水洗、自己削皮。在有些國家，水的純淨度得不到保證，所以只喝自己打開的瓶裝水。冰塊也應該用瓶裝水製備。
Wash your hands as often as you can, and always before eating. I carry a hand sanitiser and use it frequently.
儘可能勤的洗手，吃飯前一定要洗手。我帶了洗手液，用的次數很多。
When making a hotel booking ask for a disabled room and give them the measurements of your wheelchair if you use one. Make sure your ?bathroom meets your needs. Let your airline know about your special needs too such as transport to the plane, ?assistance checking in and going through security.
預定酒店時，要一個殘疾人專用房間，如果你使用輪椅，那就告訴他們你輪椅的尺寸。確保浴室能滿足你的需要。將你的特殊要求告知航空公司，比如需要有人推您上飛機、幫您辦理登機手續、過安檢。
