ONE. Hang a Picture with a Fork. Decorating.
用餐叉幫助掛相片。裝飾類。
Having trouble getting your picture-frame wire to catch on the nail in the wall?
難以把相框線掛在墻上的釘子上？
Use a fork. Place it facing out with the handle sticking skyward and the nail or screw wedged between the middle tines.
使用一個餐叉。將它朝外放置，把手朝上。把釘子或螺絲楔入尖叉的中間。
The fork's natural contours will cause it to stick out from the wall at a slight angle.
叉子的自然輪廓會使它從墻上以一個小角度突出來。
Slide the picture wire behind the fork until it reaches the nail, then remove the fork.
移動餐叉后面的相框線，直到它碰到釘子，然后把餐叉拿開。
TWO. Reduce Wrinkles Without an Iron. Travel.
不用熨斗減少衣物褶皺。旅行類。
If your hotel room doesn't have an iron, try this trick to get the worst of the wrinkles out:
如果你的酒店房間沒有熨斗，請嘗試這個方法來擺脫嚴重的褶皺。
On a flat surface, place a damp towel over the wrinkled clothing and press down to smooth out deep creases.
在一個平面上，在有褶皺的衣服上放一個濕毛巾，按下去來消除很深的皺紋。
Then hang to air-dry. You can also use the hotel teakettle. When the water is boiling, hold your clothing item about a foot away from the steam.
然后掛起來風干。你也可以使用酒店的燒水壺。當水沸騰時，把你的衣服放在離蒸汽一英尺遠的地方。
THREE. Don't Leave Your Car On While You Fill Up. Auto.
車輛加油前請關閉發動機。汽車類。
According to the Petroleum Equipment Institute, static electricity can ignite vapors from the gas station pump, starting a fire.
根據石油設備研究所的說法，靜電可以點燃加油站泵里的蒸汽，從而引發火災。
This is more likely in colder months, when the air is dry. Make sure your engine is off before you reach for the nozzle,
在寒冷的月份，空氣干燥，更容易出現這個情況。確保在加油前關閉發動機。
and avoid getting back into the car—which creates static when your clothing rubs against the seat—until you've finished refueling.
避免回到車里-當你的衣服和座位摩擦時會產生靜電-直到加完油。
FOUR. Protect Your Skin from Your Phone. Health.
保護你的手機免收手機影響。健康。
Electronics that contain metals such as nickel and cobalt (as some cell phones do) can cause an allergic reaction in some people.
含有鎳和鈷等金屬的電子產品(如某些手機)可能會引起某些人的過敏反應。
If you have red, dry, or itchy patches of skin on your ear, hand, or cheek, pick up a home kit to test for the suspect metals (they're also used in jewelry and belt buckles).
如果你的耳朵、手或臉頰上的皮膚出現紅色、干燥或發癢，拿出一個家用工具包來檢測可疑金屬(它們也用于珠寶和皮帶扣)。
You can protect yourself by setting your phone to speaker, using an earpiece, or putting a cover and clear film screen on your phone.
你可以通過將你的手機設置為免提模式，使用耳機，或者使用蓋子和薄膜屏保來保護自己免收影響。
