The next time you go to the petrol bunk, don’t be confused about which side of the car has the fuel lid. 这是一个非常简单的技能。下一次你开车去加油站加油时，不用再琢磨到底哪一边才有油箱盖了。 If you look at the little gas indicator on your dashboard (instrument cluster), you should see a tiny arrow next to it. That arrow actually points to the gas tank (fuel lid) side of your car. Now you’ll never forget where it is again!!!!!!! 看看仪表盘上的油气指标，你应该可以看到一个小箭头。实际上，这个箭头就是指向你车上的油箱盖方向。好了，下次你就肯定不会又忘记这个油箱盖到底在哪边啦！！！！！     I thought of posting this trick on quora when my friend and I had gone to the petrol bunk and he didn’t know about this. 有次我和我朋友一起去加油站加油，他居然不知道油箱盖在哪边，那时我就想着应该把这个小技能分享到quora上了。 Uddhav Patil There are times when we suffer from cough and cold and the most annoying thing during this time is blocked nose (Nasal Congestion). 我们经常都会感冒，而最烦人的时候就是遇上鼻塞。  Incase, if you don’t happen to have any nasal spray like otrivin around you, there is one way in which you could clear that blocked nostril passage. 万一你碰巧没有带任何通鼻剂在身上，有一个办法可以帮你保持鼻子畅通 Sleep on the opposite side of the blocked nostril 。 向着鼻子通畅的那边侧着睡。  For example: If your left nostril is blocked, try to sleep on right side of your body such that your left nostril is at a level higher than your right nostril. In 5-7 minutes the blockage starts to clear way for fresh air to breathe. 举个例子，如果你左鼻孔鼻塞了，尝试往右边侧身睡觉，这样你的左鼻孔就会高于你的右鼻孔。等个5到7分钟之后，你的左鼻孔就会慢慢通了。 Lalith Vikram Natarajan Use a pause instead of ‘but’ while apologizing. 在道歉的时候，比起说“但是”两个字，不如停顿一下。 We all know whatever said before the ‘but’ was a moral obligation. It also makes your apology sound artificial. 我们都知道，不管你前面说什么，后面加个“但是”就显得你这样做好像是出于道德上的义务，这也让你的道歉听起来好虚伪。 Eg. I’m sorry for the ordinary code but we had deadlines. I’m sorry for the ordinary code. We had deadlines. Smooth way of passing the blame as well :D 做个对比： 对于这个一般性要求我表示很抱歉，但是我们有时间限制的。 对个这个一般性要求我表示很抱歉。我们有时间限制。 这也是一个避免抱怨的温和方法有木有。 Mithun Mohan Some Parenting Hacks That Will Make Life with Kids Just a Little Easier 一些育儿技巧可以让有小孩的父母们生活得更轻松一点 Bathe your child in a laundry basket so that their toys don’t float away. 在浴缸里面再放个洗衣筐，让孩子在洗衣筐里洗澡，这样他们的玩具就不会老是漂走  A rubber band can keep your child from getting locked in the bathroom. 一根橡皮筋就可以防止你的小孩被反锁在浴室里面 Make a bracelet for your child with your phone number on it. 给你孩子做一个带有你手机号码的手链。 If your child isn’t a fan of trying on shoes, save yourself a headache and trace their feet so you can shop without them. 如果你的小孩不喜欢试鞋子，你可以把他们脚画在纸上，这样你就可以不用带着他们去买鞋子了。 Use a disposable coffee lid to keep popsicles from turning into a huge mess. 用一个一次性咖啡盖子套在冰棍底下，可以防止小孩弄的浑身脏兮兮的。 Turn an old DVD case into a coloring case with just a few pencils and paper. 用彩铅和纸把一个旧DVD盒子装饰成一个多彩的盒子 Use this info template so you can always make sure your baby sitter always has instructions and emergency contact numbers. 参考这个信息模板，这样你就可以确保你的保姆都能看到你的说明，并且知道紧急联系人是谁。 Cover a pack and play with a fitted sheet, and your child can stay cool outside without being eaten alive by bugs. 用床套和蚊帐对一个包装箱加工下，你的小孩就可以在呆在凉快的户外玩耍了而不用担心被一些虫子咬。 Tie a sheet around a table, and your child has a hammock. 在桌子上系上床单，你的小孩也能有一个吊床啦。 Use a pool noodle under a fitted sheet to keep your child from falling out of bed. 在床套下面塞个泡沫垫，可以防止小孩睡觉时从床上滚下来。 A pool noodle keeps little fingers from getting caught in the door. 在门边粘上一块泡沫板，就不怕孩子被门夹伤手了。 Cut open a lotion bottle to make a longer faucet so small hands can reach the water. 把改造过的乳液瓶安置在水龙头上，小短手就能够得着水啦。 Make household chores into a game so they’ll want to be a part of it. 让家务变成一个游戏，孩子们就会积极参与进来了。 Use toothpaste to clean permanent marker off wooden furniture. 牙膏可以清除留在木质家具上的马克笔的痕迹。 Putting a medicine dropper in an open pacifier makes administering medicine much less traumatic. 把药水滴在奶嘴上，可以降低药水对小孩的刺激。 |
