1. Technical Field The present disclosure relates to a protective clothing, and more particularly, to a radiation resistant clothing for resisting electromagnetic radiation (EMR). 2. Description of Related Art Protective clothing, such as radiation resistant clothing, is necessary for pregnant women, children, hospital patients, and some workers exposed to hazardous EMR. Radiation resistant clothing usually has metal fibers for reflecting EMR away from a body of a person. However, some radiation can still reach the body via sleeves and neckline, etc., and when the radiation reaches into a space between the body and the clothing, it will be reflected to the body by the metal fibers of the clothing, such that the body may still absorb significant radiation. What is needed is to provide a radiation resistant clothing that can overcome the above-described limitations. Reference will be made to the drawings to describe certain exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure. Referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, an article of radiation resistant clothing 10 is shown. The radiation resistant clothing 10 includes an outer cloth layer 111, a first radiation resistant layer 113 for reflecting radiation, a second radiation resistant layer 115 for absorbing radiation, and an inner cloth layer 117. The first radiation resistant layer 113 and the second radiation resistant layer 115 are sandwiched between the outer cloth layer 111 and the inner cloth layer 117. The second radiation resistant layer 115 is positioned on the inside of the first radiation resistant layer 113 and next to the inner cloth layer 117. The first radiation resistant layer 113 includes EMR shielding material for reflecting EMR. In detail, the EMR shielding material can reflect most EMR. In one embodiment, the first radiation resistant layer 113 includes mixed material made of the radiation shielding material and common clothing fiber material. The EMR shielding material may include material selected from the group consisting of metal fiber material and nanometer metal fiber material. The metal fiber material may be stainless steel fiber material or silver fiber material, and the nanometer metal fiber material may be nanometer silver fiber material. The second radiation resistant layer 115 includes EMR absorbing material for absorbing EMR as opposed to reflecting EMR. In detail, the EMR absorbing material converts most EMR into heat or other energy. In one embodiment, the second radiation resistant layer 115 includes mixed material made of the radiation absorbing material and the common clothing fiber material. The EMR absorbing material can be silicon carbide fiber material (such as nanometer silicon carbide fiber material) or multi-ion fabric material (such as multi-ion acrylic fiber material), and the common clothing fiber material can include material selected from the group consisting of bamboo rayon fiber material, bamboo carbon fiber material, cotton fiber material, polyester fiber material, and polyamide fiber material. Both of the outer cloth layer 111 and the inner cloth layer 117 are made of the common clothing fiber material. The common clothing fiber material includes material selected from the group consisting of bamboo rayon fiber material, bamboo carbon fiber material, cotton fiber material, polyester fiber material, and polyamide fiber material. The radiation resistant clothing 10 includes the a first radiation resistant layer 113 and the second radiation resistant layer 115 positioned on the inside of the first radiation resistant layer 113, thus even EMR which penetrates under the clothing through crevices and open gaps, such as via the ends of sleeves and the neckline, is absorbed by the second radiation resistant layer 115 to avoid the greatest possible protection for the body. Accordingly, the protection effect of the radiation resistant clothing 10 is greatly improved. Referring to FIG. 3, a side view of material of the radiation resistant clothing 20 of a second embodiment of the present disclosure is shown. The radiation resistant clothing 20 differs from the radiation resistant clothing 10 only in that the inner cloth layer 117 is omitted, but an outer layer 211, a first radiation resistant layer 213 and a second radiation resistant layer 215 are respectively the same as the outer layer 111, the first radiation resistant layer 113 and the second radiation resistant layer 115. The second radiation resistant layer 215 includes mixed materials made of radiation absorbing material and common clothing fiber material and serves as an inner layer of the radiation resistant clothing 20. Referring to FIG. 4, a side view of material of the radiation resistant clothing of a third embodiment of the present disclosure is shown. The radiation resistant clothing 30 differs from the radiation resistant clothing 20 only in that the outer layer 111 and the inner cloth layer 117 are omitted, but a first radiation resistant layer 313 and a second radiation resistant layer 315 are respectively the same as the first radiation resistant layer 213 and the second radiation resistant layer 215. The first radiation resistant layer 313 includes mixed materials made of radiation resistant material and common clothing fiber material and serves as an outer layer of the radiation resistant clothing. It is to be further understood that even though numerous characteristics and advantages of preferred and exemplary embodiments have been set out in the foregoing description, together with details of the structures and functions of the embodiments, the disclosure is illustrative only; and changes may be made in detail, especially in the matters of shape, size and arrangement of parts within the principles of the present disclosure to the full extent indicated by the broad general meaning of the terms in which the appended claims are expressed.
