Passage two

文章二

Think your refrigerator is just one big box of evenly cold air?

你以为你的冰箱只是一个充满均匀冷空气的大盒子吗？

Not so! The temperature inside the average fridge actually varies from front to back, bottom to top, and everywhere in between.

并非如此！普通冰箱内部的温度实际上从前到后、从上到下以及各处之间都存在差异。

Because of this, food product placement within the appliance is far more important than you probably realize.

正因为如此，食物在冰箱内的摆放位置远比你可能意识到的要重要得多。

The whole purpose of the modern refrigerator is to slow the growth of bacteria, which thrive in temperatures from 4.4 to 60 degrees Celsius.

现代冰箱的全部目的是减缓细菌的生长，细菌在 4.4 至 60 摄氏度的温度下会滋生。

As a result, refrigerators are typically set at or below that low end to protect foods against bacteria.

因此，冰箱通常被设置在该低温范围的下限或更低，以保护食物免受细菌侵害。

Although it might seem like time spent organizing the fridge will spoil your day, doing so will actually make it more user-friendly, easier to clean and food safety-conscious.

虽然整理冰箱似乎会浪费你的时间，但这样做实际上会让冰箱使用起来更方便、更容易清洁，也更注重食品安全。

Those little bins on the inside of refrigerator doors are convenient, but they don't maintain a consistent temperature, so definitely refrain from putting perishable foods in there.

冰箱门内侧的那些小收纳盒很方便，但它们无法保持恒定的温度，所以绝对要避免把易腐食品放在那里。

The top area is not as cold as the bottom of the fridge, so save it for the foods that don't need extra-chilly temperatures.

冰箱顶部区域不如底部冷，所以把这个区域留给不需要额外低温的食物。

Store foods that are ready-to-eat or already cooked on the top shelf.

将即食或已煮熟的食物存放在顶层搁架上。

The middle shelf is the most temperature controlled part of the fridge, so place eggs here.

中间搁架是冰箱内温度最稳定的部分，所以把鸡蛋放在这里。

Drinks and prepared foods can also live on the middle shelf if you run out of room up top.

如果顶层没地方放，饮料和熟食也可以放在中间搁架上。

The back of the bottom shelf is the coldest spot in the fridge.

底层搁架的后面是冰箱里最冷的地方。

So store perishable dairy products here to keep them edible, longer.

因此，将易腐的乳制品存放在这里，能让它们保存得更久，保持可食用状态。

Never store foods with high water content here, because the water within them can and will freeze, effectively ruining them.

切勿将水分含量高的食物存放在这里，因为其中的水分会冻结，从而损坏它们。
