Squeaks and I were just talking about our plans for the day. It's really nice out, so we're thinking about going for a hike in the woods. What do you think, Squeaks?
吱吱和我剛剛在討論我們今天的計畫。外面天氣很好，所以我們在想要去森林裡踏青。你覺得怎麼樣呢，吱吱？
It's all right, Squeaks. You have the hiccups!
沒關係的，吱吱。你在打嗝!
Ah, you're right. They can be kind of annoying.
啊，沒錯。那真的會有點煩人。
Ah, good question! Why do hiccups happen? When you hiccup, that's your body breathing in little gulps of air really quickly. When you breathe in and out, air is moving in and out of your lungs, which are kind of like two little balloons inside your chest. But there's another part of your body that's also really important for breathing: It's called your diaphragm, and it's a muscle that's right below your lungs at the bottom of your rib cage. Your muscles are in charge of moving your body around. When you raise your hand, you're using muscles to move your arm. And when you breathe, you're using your diaphragm muscle to make your lungs get bigger and smaller as you breathe air in and out.
啊，好問題!為什麼會發生打嗝的現象？你打嗝的時候，那就是你的身體非常快速地吸進小口的空氣。當你吸氣和吐氣，空氣在你的肺裡跑進跑出，那就有點像你胸口裡有兩顆小氣球。但還有另一個對呼吸也很重要的身體部位：那叫做橫膈膜，它是在胸腔底部肺臟正下方的肌肉。你的肌肉負責讓你的身體移動。你舉起手的時候，就是在用肌肉移動手臂。而當你呼吸的時候，你是在用你的橫膈膜肌肉，讓你的肺在吸氣與吐氣時膨脹和縮小。
But sometimes your diaphragm spasms, meaning that it gets kind of twitchy. Instead of helping you breathe in and out the normal way, it randomly makes you take in little gulps of air. And that's what we call the hiccups.
但有時侯你的橫膈膜會痙攣，意思就是它變得有點抽筋。此時橫膈膜不是幫助你用正常的方式吸氣和吐氣，它會隨機地讓你吸進小口空氣。而那就是我們說的打嗝。
There are all kinds of things that can get the hiccups started, like eating too quickly or even some kinds of medicine. And sometimes, they just happen, and we don't know why—like with Squeaks here.
有各式各樣的事情會讓你開始打嗝，像是吃太快或甚至是吃某些藥。而有時候，打嗝就是會莫名其妙發生－－就像吱吱現在這樣。
Oh, good question! Where does the noise come from? Normally, when you breathe, you don't make sounds. But you do make a little "hic" sound when you hiccup. That sound is your vocal folds moving together. Your vocal folds are the part of your body that helps you make sounds when you talk. They're like little flaps inside your throat, and they make sounds by vibrating. When you hiccup, that sudden gulp of air makes your vocal folds slap together, and that's what makes the "hic" noise.
喔，好問題!打嗝的噪音是從哪裡來的？通常來說，你呼吸的時候不會發出聲音。但你打嗝的時候會發出小小的「嗝」的聲音。那個聲音是聲帶一起移動的聲音。你的聲帶是在你說話時幫助你發聲的身體部位。它們就像你喉嚨裡面的小小口蓋，靠著振動發出聲音。你打嗝的時候，突然的吸氣讓聲帶拍打在一起，那就是造成「嗝」的聲音的原因。
Yeah, I don't blame you. Squeaks wants to know how he can get rid of his hiccups. You might have heard of some weird ways to do that, like having a friend scare you—but that doesn't work very well. Since the hiccups are caused by your diaphragm being a little twitchy, to get rid of them, you need to get your diaphragm moving normally again.
對呀，我不會怪你。吱吱想要知道他要怎麼樣才可以擺脫打嗝。你可能有聽過一些奇怪的方法，像是讓你朋友嚇你－－但那其實不怎麼有用。因為打嗝是因為橫膈膜有點抽筋造成的，所以要擺脫打嗝，你就要讓你的橫膈膜再度正常移動。
One way to do that is to drink a big glass of water. That can kind of distract your diaphragm and get it to stop spasming when you start breathing again after you drink. It doesn't always work, though. Sometimes the hiccups can be really stubborn, and you just have to wait it out. They'll eventually go away. Speaking of which, Squeaks, your hiccups are gone!
有個方法是喝一大杯水。那可以讓你的橫膈膜分心，讓它在你喝水後再度開始呼吸的時候不再痙攣。但也不是每次都有用。有時候打嗝會很頑強，你就只能等它結束。它們最終總會停止的。說到這個，吱吱，你的打嗝停了!
