G: Gina  S: Steven

Gina and Steven are sitting in a coffee shop and trying to cool off from the sweltering weather.

G: Phew. It’s scorching hot out there! I can hardly handle the heat anymore.

S: Tell me about it! Luckily, we found this coffee shop where we can have a cool drink and enjoy the air conditioning.

G: Yeah, but we should think about some other ways to beat this heat so that we can keep enjoying our trip.

S: For sure. Since we lose so much moisture from sweating, staying hydrated is key. That’s why I always carry this water bottle with me wherever I go.


吉娜和史蒂芬正坐在一间咖啡厅里,试著在酷热的天气中凉快下来。

吉 娜: 呼。外面热到不行!我几乎无法再忍受这种高温了。

史蒂芬: 就是说啊!还好我们找到这间咖啡厅,可以在里面喝冰凉的饮料并享受空调。

吉 娜: 是啊,但我们应该想些其他办法来对抗这样的高温,这样我们才能继续享受旅程。

史蒂芬: 当然。因为我们流汗会失去很多水分,摄取足够的水分是很重要的。这就是为什么我到哪里都带著这瓶水壶。
