Microwave ovens have been a kitchen staple for decades, allowing you to cook everything from frozen vegetables to packaged meals in minutes. But while you zap your food, you may wonder how close you can safely stand next to a microwave, and whether any radiation could escape from the device and potentially harm you. 几十年来，微波炉一直是厨房的主要设备，你可以在几分钟内煮好冷冻蔬菜及袋装饭菜等所有食物。但是当你用微波炉加热食物的时候，你可能会想知道站在微波炉旁边多远才安全，以及设备是否会泄漏一些辐射并伤害到你。 Do you really need to worry about this? The short answer is, not really. Injuries from microwave radiation are very rare, according to the US Food and Drug Administration. However, there are certain precautions you can take to keep yourself safe when using a microwave oven. 你真的需要担心这个吗？太长不看版答案是，并不需要。美国食品和药物管理局（FDA）称，微波辐射造成的伤害非常罕见。不过，使用微波炉时，你可以采取一些预防措施来保证自己的安全。 Microwaves are a type of electromagnetic radiation, or waves of energy that move through space, according to the FDA. Electromagnetic radiation takes different forms, including radio waves, visible light, X-rays and gamma-rays. FDA称，微波是一种电磁辐射，即在空间中移动的能量波。电磁辐射具有不同的形式，包括无线电波、可见光、X射线和伽马射线。 |
