教你度过一个吃得好,过得爽,花得少的夏天

2. Eat outdoors

到户外吃

If you also don't have AC, I've found that eating outdoors under the shade of a tree in a preferably foresty area is much more comfortable. One very hot day, I loaded up our lunch, snacks and lots of water, and headed to a nearby park that contained plenty of trees and shade. Not only is the shade cooling, but the type of natural plants that grew under the trees retain moisture, making it a cool place to be. We stayed there for four hours — a record for us! If you have a well-shaded backyard, then even easier! Picnics at parks, the beach or mountains can bring a welcome relief from the glare of the sun.

如果你没装空调，我认为到户外用餐，比如在树荫下会舒服多了。有一次天很热，我带着午餐、零食和饮用水等到了附近有树又有树荫遮阳的公园里。在树荫下很凉爽，而且那种生长在树下的天然植物能锁住水分，使得树荫成了一处凉爽的地方。我们在那里待了四个小时，对我们来说是一项纪录了。如果你家后院树荫茂密，那就更容易了。在公园、海滩边或山上野餐，会带来一种愉悦的放松，让我们免受了耀眼的阳光。
