I have such a love-hate relationship with the sun. It has warmed me, helped me feel relaxed and sexy, and caused my petuniasto proliferate so fast you can almost hear them grow. On the other hand, it has burned me, caused the hostas on my terrace to dry and curl up like crepe paper, and sprinkled unwanted brown spots across my white Scottish-Swedish skin. It has also given me skin cancer. Six times, to be precise, starting when I was only in my 20s.

我有这样一个与太阳又爱又恨的关系。它温暖我，使我感到轻松，性感，造成我的矮牵牛快速繁衍，使你几乎可以听到他们成长。另一方面，它燃烧(灼伤）我，让我的阳台上的霍斯塔什像皱纹纸一样干枯卷曲起来，在我白苏格兰--瑞典（混血的）皮肤上撒上了不想要的褐色斑点。它也给了我皮肤癌。 6次，确切地说，从我仅有20多岁时候开始。

I avoid the sun now—and I miss it. I’m envious when I see lithe, tanned young girls cavorting on the beach while I stroll  in my hat, sunglasses, long sleeves and SPF 100. And I worry that I’m not getting enough vitamin D. Having low levels of this vitamin (well, actually, it’s a hormone), has been linked to a higher risk of cancer, vascular disease, infectious illnesses, autoimmune disease, osteoporosis, type 2 diabetes, dementia, Parkinson’s and even obesity, according to studies. And we don’t know if supplements really do the trick—or what the appropriate dose is.

我现在躲避太阳----我想念它。当我（躲）在帽子下，戴着太阳镜、穿长袖衣服，SPF 100漫步时，看见轻盈黝黑的少女在海滩上嬉闹，我会嫉妒。我担心我没有足够的维生素D,根据研究报告,低水平维生素(实际上，它是一种荷尔蒙）状态，已被关联到到风险较高的疾病如癌症，心血管疾病，传染性疾病，自身免疫性疾病，骨质疏松症， 2型糖尿病，老年痴呆症，帕金森氏症，甚至肥胖.我们不知道是否补充（这种维生素D）真的能做到（预防疾病）或者什么是合适的剂量。

So I sneak in a few minutes of unprotected sun on my arms and legs from time to time and bask in those moments of forbidden warmth, savoring it like memories of an old lover. But then I remember the pain and fear of those skin cancers and remind myself that melanoma is the fastest-growing cancer among the young. It can kill. So I put on my sunscreen and get to work.

I’m honored to have had a hand in our three-part series on skin cancer that runs in our June, July and August issues. You can read them all here. Part 1, “Freckle, Mole or Cancer?” focuses on diagnosis; part 2, “Addicted to the Sun,” looks at why we love our tans; and part 3, “Spot Check,” is about prevention and includes my own story, “My 20 Years of Skin Cancer.”

所以，在禁晒的那些日子里，我时不时地偷偷让我的胳膊和腿在无保护的阳光下舒适地晒几分钟，回味着它就象是对一个旧情人的回忆。但马上我记起那些的关于皮肤癌的痛苦和恐惧，并告诫自己黑色素瘤是在青年人中增长最快的癌症。它可以杀人。所以我涂上我的防晒品，开始工作。

我很荣幸能着手我们的关于皮肤癌的三部曲，对，在我们6月，7月和8月发行的刊物中。你可以在这里阅读到他们的全部。第1部分，“雀斑，痣或癌症？”侧重于诊断，第2部分，“沉迷于太阳，”看看我们为什么喜欢我们的黝黑，第3部分，“抽查”关于预防，包括我自己的故事“我20年的皮肤癌。”

Dying In The Sun (The Cranberries)

Do you remember
The things we used to say?
I feel so nervous
When I think of yesterday

How could I let things
Get to me so bad?
How did I let things get to me?

Like dying in the sun
Like dying in the sun
Like dying in the sun
Like dying...
Like dying in the sun
Like dying in the sun
Like dying in the sun
Like dying...

Will you hold on to me
I am feeling frail
Will you hold on to me
We will never fail

I wanted to be so perfect you see
I wanted to be so perfect

Like dying in the sun
Like dying in the sun
Like dying in the sun
Like dying...
Like dying in the sun
Like dying in the sun
Like dying in the sun
Like dying...
