Welcome to another episode of Dear Blocko! Grab your Egg Noggin, because this one is holiday themed!
欢迎来到新一集的《亲爱的宝高》!拿上你的饮料,这个是以假日主题特供的!
Natalia asks Dear Blocko, Can you explain flu season and why it happens?
纳塔莉亚问亲爱的宝高,你能解释什么是流感季吗?还有它为什么会发生呢?
Ahh, the human flu season. The time when those evil flu viruses are at their worst.
哈,人类的流感季。那是邪恶的流感病毒最坏的时候。
In the United States, flu viruses are actually a thing year-round, but the flu season —
在美国,流感病毒实际上全年都有,
which usually occurs in fall and winter — is when those viruses are the most common.
但是流感季是那些病毒最常见的时候,通常是在秋冬两季发生的。
Influenza activity usually starts to increase around October, peaking between December and February, then lasting as late as May.
流感活动通常会在大约十月份加强,从12月至次年2月到达顶峰,然后一直持续到5月。
Exactly just why the flu becomes more of a problem around these times isn’t really known, but we do have some theories.
目前尚不清楚为什么流感在这些时期会成为一个更大的问题,但是现在已经有一些理论了。
Some argue that it’s related to how you live your life in colder weather —
有些人认为,这跟人在更冷的环境中生活方式有关,
being in more crowded situations or not getting enough sunlight —
那就是生活在更拥挤的环境中或者是晒不到更多的阳光,
while others think it has more to do with the viruses themselves —
然而,其他人则认为这个现象跟病毒本身有关,
a 2007 study on the topic saying that the viruses thrive more in the cold and dry conditions of the flu season.
2007年的一项研究表明,流感病毒在寒冷干燥的流感季节更容易繁殖。
No matter why the flu season happens, the CDC estimates that since 2010,
不管流感季节为什么会发生,据美国疾病控制中心估计,自2010年以来,
the flu has caused somewhere between 140,000 and 960,000 US hospitalizations each year, so it’s a pretty significant problem.
流感每年会导致14万到96万美国人住院治疗,所以这是一个相当严重的问题。
On to the next one! Shadow Ninja Starr 999 asks Dear Blocko Why does our teeth chatter when we are cold?
下一个!影子忍者Starr 999问亲爱的宝高,为什么我们的牙齿在冷的时候会打颤?
Your teeth chatter when you’re cold because the muscles in your face are moving all about to try and get warm,
因为当你感到冷的时候,你脸上的肌肉会不停地运动,试图让自己暖和起来,所以你的牙齿会颤动。
kinda like I do when Triangle Bob leaves the window open.
有点像三角形鲍勃让窗户开着的时候。
In general, shivering or getting the chills is your body's way of producing heat when it is, or feels, cold.
一般来说,颤抖或发冷是你的身体在寒冷时产生热量的方式。
Shivering is often caused by a cold environment, but it can also be a sign of a bacterial or viral infection.
颤抖通常是由寒冷的环境引起的,但它也可能是细菌或病毒感染的征兆。
Once you’re shivering, all this motion with your facial muscles causes your teeth to keep banging into each other, or chatter, turning you into a human music box.
一旦你开始颤抖,你面部肌肉的所有这些运动都会让你的牙齿不停地互相撞击,或者颤动,这把你变成一个人类的音乐盒。
Hey! This is actually pretty good! I think we need more sleigh bell though. Yeah! That's good!
嘿!这真的很好!不过我想我们需要更多的雪橇铃。是啊!这很好!
And now it's time for questions about me or my world! JorzPlays asks Dear Blocko, what do you want for this upcoming Christmas?
现在是时候问一些关于我或者我的世界的问题了!JorzPlays问亲爱的宝高,在这个即将到来的圣诞节你想要什么礼物?
Love you Blocko! Hey thanks! Love you too! You don’t really need to get me anything! Don’t worry!
爱你宝高 !嘿,谢谢!也爱你!你真的不需要给我买任何东西!别担心这个!
I don’t really need anything since my animator can just make something pop up out of nowhere.
我真的不需要任何东西,因为我的动画师可以让一些东西突然冒出来。
All i have to do is wish for it. Here we go…. And then there's this. And maybe... you know... Oh. Heh. How’d you get here?
我所要做的就是许愿。我们开始吧,然后是这个。也许……你知道的,哦,你是怎么来的?
It's crazy world right? I was just thinking about mashed potatoes, or something? Animator! Animator, what are you doing?
这真是个疯狂的世界,对吧?我刚刚只是在想土豆泥之类的东西,动画师,你在干嘛?
We’re gonna get demonetized! Swipe to the next thing! Do the- do the rainbow swipe thing! Do the rainbow!
我们会废止通用的!快换下一题!弄一个彩虹换镜头效果,快点!
Toby Senpai asks Dear Blocko, do people in your world celebrate different holidays?
托比先辈问亲爱的宝高,你的世界会庆祝不同的节日嘛?
Yeah! We celebrate all of the holidays! Christmas! Kwanzaa! Hanukkah! Gerple Day, of course! 20 Piece Nugget Day.
当然!我们会庆祝所有的节日!我们有圣诞节!宽扎节!光明节!当然还有Gerple节啦!还有狂吃20个鸡块节,
That's a great one, and of course everyone’s favorite holiday,
这个很不错,当然,还有每个人最喜欢的节日,
staying up until 3 AM thinking about that one thing that you did that was really awkward,
那就是熬夜至凌晨三点,想一件你做过的非常尴尬的事情,
and maybe nobody noticed, but you think everyone did, so you're really self conscience about it...anyway!
而且或许是一件没人注意到的事情,但是你觉得每个人都做过,所以这件事真的只有你意识到了,大概就这样吧!
Happy holidays everybody from the Life Noggin team. Do you have a question about your world, or my world?

and if you're not getting any presents this year, you can have this. I don't know what it is, but it's yours, if you want it.
如果你今年没有收到任何礼物,你可以得到这个。我不知道它是什么,但如果你想要,它是你的。
Enjoyed this episode of Dear Blocko? Check out the previous one we did.
喜欢这集《亲爱的宝高》吗?看看我们之前做的视频吧。
A snake bite? Ouch! I hope you’re not asking from personal experience.
蛇咬伤吗?哎哟!希望你不是以个人经历出发问的这个问题。
That’s because a snakebite can be pretty dangerous, especially if you’re talking about one from a venomous snake.
这是因为蛇咬伤是非常危险的,尤其是被毒蛇咬伤。
Any snake that bites you should be treated as though it’s venomous and you should get help immediately.
任何蛇咬伤都应该像对待被毒蛇咬伤一样对待,你应该立即寻求帮助。
As always, my name is Blocko, this has been Life Noggin, don't forget to keep on thinking!
我是宝高,这里是脑洞大开的生命奇想。思考不要停!
