　　"Looking through the results tables of the study, one thing about oxybenzone stood out," Andrews said. "Oxybenzone was absorbed into the body at about 50 to 100 times higher concentration than any of these other three chemicals they tested."

　　安德鲁斯说：“研究结果显示，氧苯酮被人体吸收的浓度比测试的其他三种化合物中的任何一种高出50到100倍。”

　　In 2008, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention analyzed urine samples collected by a government study and found oxybenzone in 97% of the samples. Since then, studies have shown a potential link between oxybenzone and lower testosterone levels in adolescent boys, hormone changes in men, and shorter pregnancies and disrupted birth weights in babies.

　　2008年，美国疾病控制和预防中心分析了一项政府研究中收集的尿样，并在97%的尿样中发现了氧苯酮。之后的研究显示出氧苯酮和青春期男孩的睾酮浓度偏低、男性荷尔蒙变化、孕期缩短和婴儿出生体重不正常有潜在联系。

　　Of all of the sunscreen ingredients, oxybenzone is known to be the most common cause of contact allergies; a 10-year study found that 70% of people had a positive patch test when exposed.

　　在所有防晒霜成分中，氧苯酮是接触性过敏的最常见诱因。长达十年的研究发现，70%的人接触氧苯酮后在过敏源测试中结果呈阳性。

　　A Swiss study found oxybenzone or one of four other sunscreen chemicals in 85% of breast milk samples, sparking concern that newborns could be exposed.

　　瑞士的一项研究发现，85%的母乳样本中含有氧苯酮或其他四种防晒霜化合物的其中一种，这让人们担忧新生儿可能也吸收了这些物质。

　　And Hawaii, the Pacific nation of Palau and Key West recently banned sunscreens containing oxybenzone and octinoxate because they cause coral bleaching and are dangerous to marine ecosystems.

　　此外，夏威夷、太平洋岛国帕劳和基维斯特最近都禁止使用含有氧苯酮和桂皮酸盐的防晒霜，因为这些成分导致珊瑚白化，危及海洋生态系统。

　　coral bleaching: 珊瑚白化

　　So, should you stop using sunscreen? Absolutely not, experts say.

　　那么你是否应该停用防晒霜呢?专家说，绝对不行。

　　"The sun is the real enemy here," said Scott Faber, senior vice president for government affairs at the Environmental Working Group, or EWG, an advocacy group that publishes a yearly guide on sunscreens.

　　环境工作组的政府事务高级副总裁斯科特·法伯说：“烈日才是真正的敌人。”环境工作组是一个宣传组织，每年都会发布关于防晒霜的指南。

　　"It's not news that things that you put on your skin are absorbed into the body," Faber said. "This study is the FDA's way of showing sunscreen manufacturers they need to do the studies to see if chemical absorption poses health risks."

　　法伯说：“涂在皮肤上的东西会被人体吸收，这并不是新闻。这项研究是食品和药物管理局在告诉防晒霜制造商，他们需要通过研究来确定这些被人体吸收的化学物质会不会对健康造成危害。”

　　"It's important for consumers to know that for the purpose of this study, sunscreens were applied to 75% of the body, four times per day for four days -- which is twice the amount that would be applied in what the scientific community considers real-world conditions," said Alex Kowcz, chief scientist for The Personal Care Products Council.

　　个人护理产品委员会的首席科学家艾利克斯·考茨说：“消费者要知道，研究中防晒霜的使用量——涂抹四分之三的身体面积、每天四次、连涂四天——科学界认为这是现实世界中人们使用量的两倍。”

　　The council was concerned, she said, that the FDA's study might confuse consumers and discourage the use of sunscreen.

　　她说，委员会担心，食品和药物管理局的这项研究会让消费者感到困惑，从而让人们停止使用防晒霜。

　　When going outside, the American Academy of Dermatology recommends applying at least 1 ounce of sunscreen to all exposed skin every two hours or after swimming, including "back, neck, face, ears, tops of your feet and legs. If you have thinning hair, either apply sunscreen to your scalp or wear a wide-brimmed hat. To protect your lips, apply a lip balm with a SPF of at least 15," the academy says, adding that since UV rays are always present, sunscreen should be applied to exposed skin even on cloudy days and in the winter.

　　美国皮肤科学会建议，外出时每隔两小时或游泳后要在裸露的皮肤上涂抹至少1盎司防晒霜，包括“背部、脖颈、面部、耳朵、脚背和双腿。如果你头发稀疏，应在头皮上涂防晒霜或戴宽檐帽。为了保护嘴唇，应涂抹防晒指数至少15的润唇膏”。学会还补充说，紫外线无处不在，即使在阴天和冬天也应该在裸露的皮肤上涂防晒霜。

　　There are ways to protect yourself and your family other than sunscreen. Seek shade, especially between 10 am and 2 pm. when the sun is at its hottest, and whenever your shadow is shorter than you. Use protective clothing, such as long-sleeved shirts and pants and a hat with a wide brim, and don't forget the sunglasses.

　　除了防晒霜以外，还有其他方法可以保护你和你家人的皮肤。当太阳最毒的时候，尤其是在上午10点到下午2点之间，或影子比你短的时候，要到阴凉处躲避阳光。穿防护衣，比如长袖衬衫、长裤或宽檐帽，别忘了还有太阳镜。

　　"It's seeking shade, using clothes and when necessary using sunscreen," Andrews said, "but not using sunscreen to prolong your time in the sun."

　　安德鲁斯说：“寻找阴凉处、穿长袖，必要的时候用防晒霜，而不是用防晒霜来延长你在烈日下的时间。”
