壹苹派生活美语　干燥花的永恒之美

　　If you would like to try drying flowers, there are a few methods to do so. The easiest way is to tie them into a bundle and hang them upside down in a cool, dark place. Make sure the room is not too humid, or the flowers may rot. It usually takes several weeks for the flowers to become completely dry. Some people also dry their flowers in the oven. By setting the oven to a very low temperature, you can gradually remove the moisture from the flowers over a few hours.

　　如果你想尝试干燥花朵，有几种方法可以达成。最简单的方式是将花绑成一束，将其倒挂在阴凉、光线昏暗的地方。确保房间不会过于潮湿，否则花朵可能会腐烂。通常需要几周的时间才能使花朵完全干燥。有些人也会用烤箱干燥花朵。将烤箱设定在非常低的温度，就可以在几个小时内逐渐除去花朵中的水分。
