Because they spend more time outdoors, a child's average UV exposure is three times higher than that of an adult.

因為他們在戶外的時間更長，一個孩童的平均紫外線照射量比成年人高出三倍。

40 to 50% of a 60-year-old person's lifetime UV exposure occurs before the age of 20.

對於一個 60 歲的人而言，其一生中 40％ 到 50% 的紫外線照射量都發生在 20 歲之前。

Melanin is the skin's natural protection from UV radiation, but children's skin has less of this protective pigment.

黑色素是皮膚對紫外線輻射的天然保護，但兒童皮膚中，這種保護性色素較少。

For this reason, children need extra protection from UV rays to lower their risk of getting sun allergies and sunburn.

因此，兒童需要額外防護紫外線以降低他們對陽光過敏和曬傷的風險。

It's important to protect your child's skin with sunscreen.

用防曬乳來保護你孩子的皮膚很重要。

Use an SPF⏤sun protective factor⏤of at least 50 plus, and apply it regularly.

使用防曬係數至少 50 的防霜乳，而且要定期塗抹。

Remember to also dress your child in sun protective clothing and sun protection hats for added sun safety.

為了增加防曬安全，記得也要給孩子穿著防曬衣、戴上防曬帽。

And babies should be kept out of the sun completely.

嬰兒則應完全避免陽光。

But what about kids' eyes?

但孩子們的眼睛怎麼辦？

Their eyes don't filter UV radiation the same way that adult eyes do.

他們的眼睛過濾紫外線輻射的方式跟成年人不同。

And the sun can cause eye damage early on.

而且陽光會在早期對眼睛造成傷害。

The crystalline lens protecting children's eyes is more transparent than that of an adult.

用來保護兒童眼睛的晶狀體比成年人的更透明。

And, depending on their age, it can allow up to ten times more UV rays into the eyes.

而取決於他們的年齡，它可以讓多達十倍的紫外線進入眼睛。

Children should always wear sunglasses when playing outside in the sun.

在戶外陽光下玩耍時，兒童應佩戴太陽眼鏡。

But what about days without direct sunlight?

但若是沒有陽光直射的日子呢？

UV rays are also present when it's overcast.

陰天的時候也會有紫外線。

So, make sure that clear spectacle lenses also give your child full UV protection, as most lenses don't.

所以，要確保透明鏡片也能夠提供孩子充分的紫外線防護，因為大多數鏡片都不能。

All lenses should offer UV protection up to a wavelength of 400 nanometers (nm) because the irradiance between 380 nm and 400 nm is much more intense.

所有鏡片都應有波長高達 400 納米的紫外線防護，因為界於 380 納米和 400 納米間的輻照度非常強，

And is actually responsible for 40% of the total amount of solar UV irradiance on earth.

而且實際上佔地球上太陽紫外線輻照總量的 40%。

It's never too late to start protecting your eyes.

保護你的眼睛永遠都不嫌晚。

But be sure to start protecting your child's eyes as early as possible.
