女人包包里的10件必备品

1. Lipstick口红

As any woman knows, a dash of lipstick can perk up even the worst case of the blues, and having your favorite shade within reach is imperative to keeping you looking your best. Lipstick works to create a beautiful focal point on the face – so even if you don’t have time to put on a complete face of makeup each morning, lipstick will still make you look glamorous and put-together.

任何一个女人都知道，一点口红足以让你气色变好，即便是在最糟糕的时候。要想让自己保持最佳状态，手头带着最爱的唇彩是必须的。口红可以在脸上打造一个美丽的焦点——所以，即使没时间每天早晨都化妆，口红也可以让你看起来容光焕发、神采奕奕。

2. Mad money 自备的零钱

The emphasis here is on money, not plastic. Mothers used to give their daughters “mad money” when they went out on a date, just in case the guy ended up to be Mr. Totally Wrong. Mother was wise to do so; there are many instances that may arise when you will need cash in hand, not a debit or credit card, so keep at least twenty bucks in cash safely stored away in your purse.

注意这里说的是现金，不是信用卡。以前母亲常会给要出门赴约的女儿准备一些“零钱”，以防约会的那家伙不靠谱时可以全身而退。这样做的母亲是明智的，因为事实证明很多时候你需要手头有现金，而不是银行卡或者信用卡。所以，在钱包里放好至少20块的现金吧。

3. Tampons or pads卫生巾/护垫

Let’s face it ladies; we never know when Mother Nature will come calling. Be discreetly prepared to face her head on with a small supply of feminine protection.

女士们，说实在的，我们永远不知道大姨妈究竟什么时候造访。所以，保险起见，你得备好少量的卫生用品来迎接大姨妈的到来喔。

4. Baby wipes婴儿湿巾

Whether or not you have little ones, baby wipes come in handy in so many situations – none of which you will be able to think about until the time arises that you need one or two.

无论你有没有宝宝，在很多场合宝宝湿巾迟早都会派上用场——在一些意想不到的场合你总会需要一两片

5. Aspirin or Tylenol阿司匹林或泰诺林（药物，功效类似阿司匹林）

How many times have you been out of the house and taken a headache? If you are human, chances are you have often wished for a bit of pain relief on the road. Stay prepared by always keeping a few aspirin, Tylenol, or other pain remedy at hand.

有多少次出门在外却头痛起来？出门在外，总免不了小病小痛，这时候你多希望有办法止痛。所以，手头要一直备着一些阿司匹林、泰诺林等止痛药。

6. A pen钢笔

While it may seem like commonsense, when faced with the prospect of needing a pen or pencil, many women dig and dig through their massive purses only to come up with a fairly good substitute: an eyeliner. Keep a few pens in your purse and you won’t end up giving someone your number with a Cover Girl Slick Stick.

虽然随身带笔是个常识，但当需要一支钢笔或者铅笔的时候，很多女人在大包包里翻来翻去，最后掏出唯一能写字的东西是——眼线笔！包里放一些笔，那样要给别人留号码的时候就不用掏出你的封面女郎来写了（封面女郎：美国著名彩妆品牌）。

7. Emergency contact info紧急联络人联系方式

Again, a commonsense thing to carry with you (right alongside your identification) is emergency contact information; this will come in handy if you are mistaken as a terrorist, locked in solitary confinement, and someone has to come in to vouch for your identity. In all seriousness, emergency contact info is crucial if you are (heaven forbid) involved in an accident and unable to speak for yourself.

同样，这也是一个常识：随身带着紧急联络人联系方式（还有身份证）。如果你被当做恐怖分子关起来需要有人来为你担保的时候就派上用场了。正经来说，当你出了车祸无法说话（但愿不会）时，紧急联络人联系方式就至关重要了。

8. Mace or pepper spray梅西喷雾或防狼喷雾

The day and age in which we live dictates that all women must carry some form of protection, and Mace or pepper spray fit the bill. This modern “weapon” is non-lethal but very effective in stopping bad guys in their tracks.

在当今我们所处的时代，所有的女人都必须随身带着防身物品，梅西喷雾或者防狼喷雾可以满足需求。（MACE，中文名为“梅西”，总部位于美国纽泽西州的梅西安全防卫国际公司，是美国历史悠久的高端防身喷雾品牌，几乎是防身喷雾的代名词。）这种现代“武器”虽然没有致命性，但可以有效阻止坏蛋图谋不轨。

9. Hand sanitizer洗手液

Every time when you are at the grocery store you grab a cart that has been used many times and never wiped down. You count out money or meet someone new and shake their hand. For these and many other reasons, you should always have hand sanitizer in your purse. It will help protect you as well as anybody you come into contact with from spreading those terrible germs.

每次你在超市购物时都要推个购物车，这些购物车被用过很多次，但没有被擦干净。你要点钱，要和新认识的人握手。基于上面这些或者其他理由，你应该在包里装着洗手液。这样可以避免你和你接触的人传播那些可怕的细菌。

10. Lighter or matches打火机或火柴

Okay, you don’t smoke and you don’t carry a lighter because you think that you’ll never need it. Trust me, I don’t smoke but I always carry a lighter or matches for emergency purposes, such as burning off stray threads on clothes, and lighting candles on cake. Moreover, if you’re ever stranded in the wilderness and need to light a fire, you will be well prepared! So make sure you always have a lighter or matches in your purse!

好吧，你不抽烟所以你不带打火机，因为你觉得不会派上用场。相信我，虽然我不抽烟，但我总是带着打火机或者火柴以应急。比如：烧掉衣服上脱落的线头；点亮蛋糕上的蜡烛。此外，如果你困在了荒郊野外需要生火的时候，打火机就派上用场了！所以，一定要在包里放个打火机或者火柴！

So remember, an ounce of prevention truly is worth a pound of cure. Pack your purse with these ten essentials and you can feel a bit safer and more secure when you are out and about.

记住，一分预防胜似十分治疗。将上面提及的十件必需品装到包里吧，当出门在外的时候你会觉得更稳当。
