Cold air is coming. Most cities in China are expected to see a sharp decline in temperature. Beijing has endured rainfall and a drop in temperature recently. Many residents have wrapped themselves up with warm winter clothes.
英文中可以将秋裤称作long johns或thermal underwear,指通常在寒冷天气穿着的两件套长裤长袖内衣(a style of two-piece underwear with long legs and long sleeves that is normally worn during cold weather)。
一些词源学家认为,秋裤之所以被称为long johns,是因为19世纪末期美国家喻户晓的拳击手约翰•L•沙利文(John L. Sullivan)在比赛时总喜欢穿秋裤。
For many people, long johns have been something for grandparents — or rather, they are a fashion disaster.作者: kobe 时间: 2017-11-6 22:33
对于许多人来说,秋裤是专属于奶奶辈的“时尚终结者”。
In 2008, Su Mang, chief editor of Bazaar magazine, indicated that wearing long johns compromised fashion. "I never allow people around me to wear long johns," Su said in a talk show with TV anchor Chen Luyu.
As with Su, many young women don't wear thermal underwear even on cold rainy days. It is reported that despite the dropping temperature, there are a number of young people who don't wear long johns and they never will.
和苏芒一样,许多年轻女性即使在寒冷的雨天也不穿秋裤。据称就算是降温了,仍有一些年轻人始终拒穿秋裤。
的确,再大的风雪,也挡不住妹子们想露腿的心。但美是真的,冷也是真的。
The temperature drop is projected to continue. Whether you wear long johns or not, health should be a top priority.
气温还将持续下降。不管你是否穿秋裤,健康都应该是头等大事。
如果不能接受秋裤,那么不妨试试下面几种御寒保暖的办法。
Hot pot
火锅
Hot pot is the best choice to keep warm in this cold weather, gathering friends and family members in front of a steaming chafing dish. All the ingredients stewing in the pot are selected based on personal taste.
Styles of hot pot can be divided into two types: Chongqing hot pot and the northern traditional brass pot. In Beijing, as an example, the Donglaishun Restaurant is a famous brand for the old-style hot pot, which requires a brass pot and charcoal fire to cook.
The chief characteristic of Chongqing hot pot is a numbing, spicy flavor. If you have a cold, Chongqing hot pot is highly recommended to cure it. With its garlic and oil remedy, Chongqing hot pot could make you sweaty and clean your sinuses.
Moreover, if you indulge in Korean dramas, the Korean kimchi hot pot could also be a good choice. The cheese, ramen and rice cake boiling in sweet chilli kimchee soup can be addictive.
此外,如果你是韩剧迷,韩式泡菜火锅也是不错的选择。甜辣泡菜汤中翻滚的奶酪、拉面和年糕让人为之沉沦。
Warm drinks
热饮
Whether a soothing hot tea, a mug of hot cocoa, or a cup of fruit wine, there's nothing like a warm drink to heat you from the inside out. No matter what your beverage of choice may be, time stands still when you grab a cup of whatever it is and just let yourself sit and enjoy the presence of others.
Autumn is a perfect season, with a comfortable temperature for people to do some outdoor events. Go hiking up the mountain or biking down the city. Just give yourself a break to enjoy the nature.
