Beijing just had its first snow of the season last Friday. You know what that means – winter is officially here! Luckily for the denizens of the north, they’re equipped with centralized heating. Once they escape the elements and get indoors, they can take off their heavy jackets and relax in T-shirts, or maybe even enjoy some ice-cream while kicking back and watching TV.
上周五,北京刚刚迎来了本季的第一场雪。你知道这意味着什么——冬天正式到来了!对北方的居民来说十分幸运,因为他们配备了集中供暖设施。一旦他们逃离了室外环境进入了室内,就可以脱下厚重的夹克,穿着舒适T恤,甚至可以在休息和看电视的时候享受一些冰激凌。
但是在中国南方人们是如何在寒冷的天气中生存的呢?这里没有集中的加热器,冬天的温度还会可能降到零度以下。
After so many years of dealing with the bitter cold, they’ve come up with some pretty inventive techniques to beat the winter chill.
经过这么多年的抗寒经历,他们想出了一些很有创意的物品来抵御严寒。

You’ve probably seen some of the regular ways they keep warm, like wearing tons of clothes indoors, rocking pajamas on the street, portable hand warmers, heater fans, and thermoses full of steaming hot green tea.
你可能已经看到了一些保温的方式,比如在室内穿成吨的衣服,在街上拖着睡衣、便携式的手暖器、暖风机,和保温瓶里装满热腾腾的绿茶。
But today we’re going to show you some impressive and kind of weird ways to stay warm. You’ve probably never seen anything like them before. 🙂
但今天我们将向你们展示一些令人印象深刻的、奇怪的保暖方法。你以前可能从没见过像他们这样的人。:)
①Winter E-bike Face Mask
电动车保暖护脸神器
You might have a e-bike winter blanket already, but we bet you don’t have a face mask yet. Check it out – not only can you protect your face from the cold wind, but it also makes you pretty look cool. As an added bonus, you might even be able to pull off a bank heist.
你可能已经有了一条电单车冬季毛毯,但我们打赌你还没有面罩。看看它——你不仅可以保护你的脸不受寒风的影响,而且还能让你看起来很酷。额外的作用,你甚至可以进行一次银行抢劫案。
②Mouse Pad Warmer
暖手鼠标垫
Get to the office early? It’s probably freezing cold since the AC unit was off all night and the cleaning ayi probably left all the windows wide open to let all the smog in. How to warm things up? Well, you know how long it takes the darn AC to reach lukewarm temperatures. It might be wise to try out one of these mouse pad warmers. Bonus points if you get one that looks like a shark.
很早就到了办公室?一定太很冷,因为空调关了一整晚,清洁阿姨走时把所有的窗户都打开了,让所有的寒烟涌入。怎么热身?我想你知道暖气需要多长时间才只有一点点温暖。试试看这种暖手鼠标垫是明智的。如果你买一个看起来像鲨鱼的就更酷了。
③Phone Warmer
手机保暖神器
People are glued to their phones. It’s an unescapable fact of modern life. But if you just use a regular hand warmer or gloves, there’s no way to effectively use your phone. No WeChat = no life. That’s why Taobao came up with this unique phone warmer. Give it a try! You’ll be a star walking down the street. Just make sure to look every once in a while.
人们都离不开手机。这是现代生活中不可回避的事实。但是,如果你只是使用一个普通的手温暖或手套,没有办法有效地使用你的手机。没有微信=活不下去。这就是为什么淘宝推出了这个独特的手机保暖神器。试试看!你会成为走在街上的明星。走路的时候要当心,不要一直看手机以防摔倒。
④Body Warmer Blanket
全身暖神器
Look a bit familiar? Yup, we’ve seen similar blankets on e-bikes before. However, this one’s for using at home on your comfy couch. Plug it in and get cozy. Warning though – it might get kind of hard to get up to go to the bathroom and don’t even think about farting inside. But hey, staying warm is the #1 priority!
看上去有点眼熟?是的,我们以前在电动自行车上见过类似的毯子。不过,这个是在舒适的沙发上使用的。套上它然后享受舒适。警告——起来去洗手间可能有点困难,你也不会想在里面放屁。但是,保持温暖才是第一要务!
⑤Foot Warmer
暖脚神器
We’ve honestly tried this one before. It was a Christmas gift from a friend. Don’t let the cute looks deceive you though – this foot warmer will crank up the heat and keep you feeling toasty. We especially like to pair our foot warmer with a glass of hot glühwein. Cheers!
我们以前真的试过这个。是朋友送的圣诞礼物。不要被可爱的外表欺骗——这种暖脚神器会使你的体温升高,让你感觉像在被火烤。暖脚器和一杯热腾腾的热红酒简直绝配。干杯!
