華華：沒辦法，天氣實在太熱了！吹冷氣都不能消暑，還是吃冰最涼。

翻譯 Translation
Qingqing: You just finished lunch and now you’re eating such a big bowl of ice. Aren’t you afraid of getting an upset stomach?
Huahua: I can’t help it; the weather is just too hot! Even the air conditioning can’t cool me down. Eating ice is the only thing that works.
Qingqing: That’s true, but eating too much cold stuff is bad for you. You should try to control it.
Huahua: Everyone says that, but I really don’t understand why eating ice is bad. Can you explain it to me?
Qingqing: According to traditional Chinese medicine, while ice can lower your body temperature, eating too much of it increases moisture in your body, which can cause aches and pains and affect your digestive system and circulation.
Huahua: That serious? But it’s so uncomfortable being this hot. Does that mean I can’t eat ice at all?
Qingqing: You can choose milder ice treats, like fruit slushies or tofu pudding ice. Adding some other ingredients to make it less cold might be better.
Huahua: Alright. I’ll remember that and try it next time. Thank you!
