Why do we sneeze?

Don't worry, I'm not sick … I just needed to sneeze.

That's what 「打噴嚏 」 is called in English -- "to sneeze."

I sneeze maybe 2 or 3 times every day … but… why do people sneeze?

Sometimes we sneeze when we are sick. 有時候打噴嚏是因為感冒。

But many times, we sneeze when something goes into our nose … like dust.
但大部分打噴嚏，是因為有髒東西跑進鼻子，像是灰塵。

The dust attacks … and our body fights back! By sneezing.

A sneeze is very strong and very fast … a sneeze comes out at -- almost --
the same speed as a Taiwan High-Speed Rail train!
鼻涕噴射出來的速度，就跟高鐵一樣快！

But...there are also a lot of germs in a sneeze. 鼻涕裡面有很多細菌。

Those germs go out very fast when we sneeze. That's why we should cover our
mouth and nose when we sneeze. 這就是打噴嚏時，為什麼要遮住口鼻的原因。

We don't want to spray germs into the air for other people to breathe
in...yuck!! 你不會想要吸到別人散播到空氣中的細菌吧?!

And...if you feel like sneezing...don't try to stop it...that can hurt your
ears.想打噴嚏的時候千萬不要忍因為耳朵會受傷。

But, always cover your mouth and nose when … you … feel … like … you
… want ... to….. sneeze!!!!
