翻譯 Translation
Qingqing: Huahua, don’t you think it’s still really hot lately? It’s already autumn.
Huahua: Yeah, the sun during the day is just as strong as in summer. I’ve been sweating so much.
Qingqing: I heard it’s the “autumn tiger” acting up — the daytime sun is super intense.
Huahua: I try to wear light-colored, breathable clothes now, and I always put on sunscreen before going out. Otherwise, my skin turns red by the time I get to the office.
Qingqing: I also wear a sun-protective jacket when commuting, because of the temperature difference inside and outside the car — I’m afraid I might catch a cold if I’m not careful.
Huahua: Besides being careful about temperature changes, we also need to watch out for heat-related illnesses — drink enough water and try to stay cool.
Qingqing: Speaking of cooling off, my family made mung bean soup yesterday. It was cold and refreshing — drinking a bowl after work really helped me cool down.
Huahua: Mung bean soup is good for your health. I’ll go buy a bowl after work too.

Water beaded off her hair, ran from her coat, and made a small lake on the vinyl.

She glanced up, puzzled. “No. Why?” “Crematorium’s about the only thing here.” He caught her eyes in the mirror.
Have you ever dreamed of hiking Taiwan’s majestic Mt. Jade or visiting Peru’s breathtaking Machu Picchu? These adventures sound amazing, but there’s something you should know about first: “altitude sickness.” This condition strikes when you climb to a higher elevation too quickly. The higher you go, the thinner the air becomes, making it harder for your body to absorb oxygen. The symptoms usually begin within hours of reaching high altitudes — about 2,500 meters or higher. You might experience headaches, dizziness, nausea, shortness of breath, or extreme fatigue. These symptoms can last for several days. The severity of altitude sickness varies
