在伊塞爾·內納年近三十歲時，她被診斷出患有皮膚癌。從小到大，伊塞爾從未使用過防曬霜，現在她正在和英國癌癥研究基金會（Cancer Research UK）合作，警告他人不要犯同樣的錯誤。

There's a common misconception that having darker skin makes you invulnerable to the Sun's rays. Melanin, the pigment in skin, protects people up to a certain point, but it doesn't make the body immune.

一種普遍存在的錯誤觀念是深色皮膚的人不受陽光的傷害。雖然皮膚中的黑色素在一定程度上對人們起到保護作用，但它不會使人體對陽光免疫。

According to Cancer Research, melanoma skin cancers are less common in black and Asian people than in white people. However, research suggests that when they do occur, they're often spotted at a later, more advanced stage, resulting in poorer outcomes.

根據英國癌癥研究基金會發(fā)表的報告顯示，黑色素瘤皮膚癌在黑人和亞洲人中的發(fā)病率低于白人。然而，研究表明，黑人和亞洲人如果患病，往往是在癌癥晚期階段才被確診，導致相對更糟糕的結果。

An extreme heat weather warning for much of England and Wales has been extended until Tuesday, and doctors are encouraging everyone to cover up and wear sunscreen. They advise using one with a broad spectrum that offers both UVA and UVB protection, an SPF of at least 30, and water resistance. It should be reapplied every two hours, whilst people also take shelter in the shade regularly.
