今天，我刚刚戴上口罩出门，遇见一位西人男士跟我打招呼，还递给我一张硬纸片, 上面全是英文。我瞟了一眼纸片，
瞥见上面的标题是
IT’S NOT JUST A MASK
UNSAFE MASK USE
看完了全部内容，我觉得，这事真可谓“公说公有理，婆说婆有理”。尽管存在有如下六条负面影响，戴口罩对于预防
感染新冠病毒还是十分必要的。现在我把纸片上的英文原文和我的译文都发布出来，让大家评说评说。
一，增加呼吸道感染
戴布口罩极大地增加感染感冒之类疾病的风险。口罩吸收潮气，会成为细菌和病毒的水库。
二，对心理健康的影响被忽视
那些因为心理健康原因而免于戴口罩的人士，经常面对歧视或不相信他们的健康状况。戴口罩会引起紧张
和焦虑，加重他们戴口罩之前，期间和之后已存在的症状。
三，欺凌和羞辱
那些不能戴口罩的人，天天会多次就戴口罩的事情而接受对抗。不能戴口罩的儿童要面对其他孩子甚至
他们自己父母的欺凌。
四，损害社会发展
孩子们依靠鼻子和嘴唇辨认他们的父母。戴口罩令声音含糊不清，遮住了面部表情，还阻止了动嘴唇阅读。
五，引起公共安全风险
戴口罩危害安全，让匿名犯罪成为可能。能够辨识苦难中的大人和孩子对于保证他们的安全至关重要，对于
辨识丢失的孩子特别重要。
六，造成头痛和昏眩
戴口罩损害呼吸，会造成呼吸短促以及其它负面的副作用。戴口罩增加二氧化碳，降低口罩内部氧气的浓度。
Wearing a cloth mask significantly increases the risk of flu-like illness. Masks absorb moisture
and can become reservoirs of bacteria and viral particles.
Those with exemptions for mental health often face discrimination or disbelief of their condition.
Masks can cause stress and anxiety, aggravating pre-existing symptoms before, during and after use.
Those who are unable to wear a mask will be confronted multiple times a day regarding mask use.
Children who are unable to wear masks face bullying from other children and even their parents.
Children rely on the nose and lips to identify their parents. Masks muffle sound, hide facial expression,
and prevent lip reading. Communication relies heavily on lip movement, especially for the hearing impaired.
Masks compromises safety and enable anonymous crime. Being able to identify people and children in
distress is paramount for safety; this is especially important for identifying missing children.
Masks impair breathing, can cause shortness of breath and have other negative side effects. Masks
increase carbon dioxide and reduce oxygen concentrations inside the mask.
