夏天到了蚊子来了：10大原因你为什么老被蚊子咬

To evade us at a party, don’t be a wallflower.
参加派对想避开我们，别只当个无聊的看客哦

When we smell a huge mass of carbon dioxide, we fly toward it; after we get there, it’s easier to attack the people on the perimeter of the group than those smack-dab in the center.
如果感知到一大股二氧化碳，我们就会飞过去了。而相对于站在正中间的人而言，我们更容易对站在外围的人下手。

If your home’s landscaping is well tended, we won’t like it as much.
如果你把房屋周围打理的很好，我们可就不那么喜欢了

We like to hang out in thick, overgrown vegetation. The darker and more humid, the better. If you keep your lawn mowed, pool skimmed, and bushes trimmed, your backyard won’t be very appealing. Removing puddles of stagnant water is also a great way to repel us—that’s where we like to lay our eggs.
我们喜欢躲在密集茂盛的树林中，越黑暗越潮湿越好。如果你总是清理草坪、清洁游泳池或是修剪灌木丛，你的后花园对我们就没有什么吸引力了。把死水塘清理掉也是赶走我们的好办法，那是我们最爱生产的地方。

We’re thrilled when you buy DEET-free repellent.
驱蚊胺让我们感到害怕

DEET, along with picaridin, is among the stronger types that help keep us away. Each type blocks different receptors that allow us to track you down. We’re also not big fans of lemon eucalyptus, although these are a little weaker than DEET and picaridin.
驱蚊胺，和杀虫剂一样，是能有效赶走我们的最强药剂之一。你的气味记号会被不同的型号所掩盖，我们也不喜欢柠檬桉树，效果也就比驱蚊胺和杀虫剂弱一点吧。

Got those CO2-emitting traps in your yard?
院子里布置了这些释放二氧化碳的陷阱？

Great! You may think you’re outsmarting us with these devices, which emit carbon dioxide to lure us into a trap. But they may attract more of us than they are able to trap, increasing our presence in your yard. UV bug zappers aren’t effective either: Only a fraction of the pests they kill are mosquitoes.
真聪明！也许你觉得这些东西能显示出你的智慧，靠着释放二氧化碳来诱骗我们过去。但也许会引诱来更多的东西，增加你院子里的蚊子数目。紫外线昆虫电子灭虫器也不管用：只能杀死很少一部分的蚊子。

Pregnant? Yum.
怀孕了？难怪

If you’re a woman who’s expecting, you emit more carbon dioxide and your abdomen has a higher temperature than when you’re not pregnant, drawing some of us right to you. Sorry, baby.
如果你是待产的孕妇，那么你释放的二氧化碳比常人要多，腹部的温度也比常人更高，这会把我们吸引过来，宝贝对不起啦。

When it comes to West Nile, end-of-summer bites may do more harm.
说到西尼罗河，夏末的叮咬更加有害

It’s simple logic: We bite birds who have the West Nile virus; then we bite humans and spread it. By summer’s end, we’ve had more chances to bite infected birds.
这是很简单的逻辑：我们叮咬了带有西尼罗病毒的禽类，然后再来叮咬人类，传播了病菌。到了夏末，我们叮到感染鸟类的几率要大很多
