牛人在校园:大学生避暑妙招

Cool vegetables
蔬菜降温法 Hong Li, a sophomore majoring in architecture at Guangdong University of Technology, recently read on Sina Weibo that holding a wax gourd while sleeping can cool the body by three degrees. When he couldn’t bear the heat any longer, he decided to give it a shot.
洪力（音译）是广东工业大学建筑专业的大二学生。最近，他在新浪微博上读了一篇关于抱冬瓜睡觉可降3度体温的微博。当他无法忍受闷热天气时，洪力决定尝一下这招。

Hong spent 15 yuan on a 5-kilogram wax gourd from a supermarket. “I used it for several days and the results were good, ” says Hong.
洪力花了15 块钱从超市买了个5公斤重的冬瓜。他说：“这招我用了好几天，效果很好。”

Inflatable pool
充气泳池 Students at Hubei University of Technology set up an inflatable pool in their dormitory. They play card games and even eat instant noodles in the pool.
湖北工业大学的学生们在宿舍里摆上了充气泳池。他们在泳池里打牌，甚至是吃泡面。

“One of my roommates bought an inflatable pool for 260 yuan, ” says Wang Xiaoxing.
“我的一个室友花260块钱买了一个充气泳池，”王晓星（音译）说道。

The inflatable pool is 2.3 meters long and nearly covers the entire floor of the dormitory, which is only 20 square meters in size. Wang and his roommates used 10 buckets of water to fill the inflatable pool.
这种长2.3米、仅20平方米大小的充气泳池几乎可以覆盖整个宿舍的地面。王晓星和室友们用了10桶水才把充气泳池填满。

“Students from other dormitories often come to cool down in the pool, ” Wang says proudly.
王晓星得意地说：“其他宿舍的同学经常来我们的‘泳池’凉快一下！”

Tunnel camp
地下通道露营 Chen Quanhong, a junior majoring in geographic information systems at China University of Geosciences, Wuhan, is camping in a tunnel with several students.
陈全洪（音译）就读于武汉市中国地质大学地理信息系统专业大三年级。他和几个同学一起在地下通道里开始了露营生活。

“Our school is built around a mountain and there is a tunnel that connects both parts of the campus.” says Chen. “It’s much cooler than the dormitory. You don’t even need a fan.” Chen shared his discovery with students online: “All you need is a tent, a mat and some insect repellent. Just don’t drink too much water, because the toilet is far away.”
“我们的学校环山而建，用一条地下通道连接两个校区，”陈全洪说，“那里比宿舍凉快得多，甚至都不用扇扇子。”他在网上与同学们分享了这一发现：“你只需要准备一顶帐篷，一个凉席和一些杀虫剂就可以了。但别喝太多水，因为厕所离得很远。”
