饮食卫生是绝对不可掉以轻心的。无论到市场买食物、到饭店用膳，还是到朋友家里吃饭，我们都要求处理食物的人高度注意卫生。肮脏的手很容易传播病菌。医院又怎样呢？我们不是期望医院比其他任何地方更卫生吗？《新英格兰医学杂志》报道，可能就是医生和护士没有洗手，病人受细菌感染，医院每年为护理这些病人，得付出上百亿美元。因此，为自己的健康着想，我们要求别人注重卫生，是不无理由的。人污染水源，是蓄意也好，无心也罢，后果都会非常严重。海滩上遗下了瘾君子或其他人的注射器，你在那里赤脚漫步，会感到安全吗？也许比这更重要的是，我们在家里注重个人卫生吗？

English translation:

The importance of cleanliness cannot be overemphasized when it comes to our food-whether we buy it at a market, eat it at a restaurant, or have a meal at a friend’s home. A high standard of cleanliness is expected of those handling or serving the food we eat. Dirty hands-theirs or ours-can be the cause of many sicknesses. What about hospitals-of all places, the place where we expect to find cleanliness? The New England Journal of Medicine reported that unwashed hands among doctors and nurses may help explain why hospital patients develop infections that cost up to ten billion dollars a year to cure. We rightly expect that no one will endanger our health by his unclean habits. It is also a very serious matter when someone-deliberately or thoughtlessly-pollutes our water supplies. And how safe is it to stroll barefoot along a beach where one may see used syringes left behind by drug addicts and others? Perhaps of even greater personal importance is the question: Is cleanliness practiced in our own home?
