用12顆檸檬 讓世界讀懂了乳腺癌!

We think we know what the signs of breast cancer are, until it comes to checking our own breasts - then we're not so sure.

我們以爲我們知道乳腺癌的跡象，到檢查自己的乳房的時候，又不是那麼肯定了。

Is that a lump I can feel? Should I be worried about the dimpled skin there? What exactly am I feeling for?

是可以感覺到的一個硬塊嗎？我應該擔心起波紋的皮膚嗎？我究竟應該怎麼檢查？

Those were the concerns of Corrine Beaumont, a young designer, who created the 'Know Your Lemons' campaign, which has been shared more than 32,000 times on Facebook in the past few days.

這些都是年輕設計師科琳·博蒙特關注的問題，她的創意“瞭解你的檸檬”運動，在過去幾天內在臉書上分享了超過32000次。

She lost both her grandmothers to breast cancer at the ages of 40 and 62 and when she found very little information on the signs of breast cancer to look out for, she felt compelled to come up with a solution.

她的外婆和奶奶都分別在40歲和62歲的時候因乳腺癌去世，那時她能找到的有關乳腺癌徵兆的信息很少，她覺得一定要有一個解決方案。

Lemons became her stand-in metaphor for breasts as she tried to create a simple, visual way of showing what breast cancer symptoms can look and feel like.

她試圖創造一種簡單而直觀的方式來顯示乳腺癌症狀的外觀和感覺，於是檸檬就成爲了乳房的替身。

Corrine describes the egg box of lemons as a playful, friendly image which might help women overcome their fear of the disease.

科琳通過裝在蛋盒裏的檸檬，描述出俏皮友好的形象，幫助婦女克服對疾病的恐懼。

Many say 'Know Your Lemons' is clear and colourful - and gets an important message across that is often lost in a mass of words.

許多人表示，“認識你的檸檬”信息清晰，顏色多彩，傳遞了靠大量詞語也難以傳遞的重要信息。

A recent survey of 1,000 women by charity Breast Cancer Care found that a third of women don't check their breast regularly for signs and symptoms of cancer.

慈善組織“乳腺癌護理”最近對1000名婦女進行的一項調查發現，其中三分之一的人不會定期檢查其乳房的癌症體徵和症狀。

While 96% know that a lump in the breast can be a symptom of cancer, more than a quarter did not know that an inverted nipple can be a symptom.

雖然96％的人知道乳房腫塊可能是癌症的症狀，但超過四分之一的人不知道倒置乳頭也可能是一種症狀。
