三伏天，你的手机“中暑”了吗？

#英语拔尖交流# #暑假深读书计划#

最近正值一年中最热的三伏天，全国各地都经历了连日高温。网友纷纷感叹，自己“热到融化”。其实手机也不例外，夏天经常刷着刷着手机就变烫了，偶尔还会出现黑屏、闪退的情况。为了解决手机过热的问题，我们经常能听到一些“偏方”，比如冰块降温法，这种方法真的有用吗？为什么手机用久了就发烫？一起来听今天的讲解。

Why your phone overheats and how to prevent it

为什么你的手机发烫，以及如何防止手机过热

The fan is on, you've just finished your 10th iced coffee and are ready to scroll through your phone. But your device is either slow, too hot or has a drained battery. Sound familiar?

电扇在一旁开着，刚喝完第10杯冰咖啡的你，准备刷会儿手机。但你发现手机要么卡顿、发烫，要么就是快没电了。这个场景听起来很熟悉吧？

Much like how we struggle to operate at the same speed in intense heat, it can be something similar for the phone's processor - a chip inside that's responsible for its main functions. As the device gets hotter, the processor tries to stop itself overheating, and it ends up slowing everything down as a result.

在酷暑天气里，我们很难按照往常的进度做事，其实手机处理器的工作原理也是如此。处理器是指手机内置的芯片，负责各主要功能的正常运转。随着手机温度升高，处理器就会暂停工作以防过热，最后就导致手机越来越慢。

The hotter they get, the harder they have to work and the more energy they use, which means the battery life gets drained more quickly. They also use energy to monitor their own state, and basically have to do more work.

手机电池的温度越高，就越难以运转，而且消耗的能量也会更多，这就意味着电池寿命消耗得会更快。并且，手机电池还要消耗部分能量来监测自己的运行状态，基本上到最后就是电池要完成更多的工作。（译者注：本段中的they指的是battery，即手机在发热状态，电池能量消耗迅速。）

What you can do to keep your phone cool? Don't stick it on charge. When you are charging your battery, you are generating heat. When your device has been on charge, it ends up being hotter. Take it out of a case and turn off all the functions you do not need. Don't stick it in a bag of ice, because that doesn't help it. Rapid temperature changes can be really bad for phones, and the ice can lead to water becoming trapped in it.

那么你可以做些什么，给手机降降温呢？不要一直插着充电线。在你给手机充电的时候，机身温度就在上升。所以如果你一直给手机充电，到最后它就会变得很烫。你可以取下手机壳，并退出所有你不需要的后台程序。另外，不要把手机贴在冰袋上，因为这起不到什么作用。温度快速变化对手机是非常不利的，并且冰块受热融化后可能会导致手机进水。
