蹭凉族
由于久日的高温,市民在家也按捺不住,纷纷前往市区各大商场、超市、银行以及书店处乘凉,凡是有集体空调处都是人满为患,蹭凉族便随之诞生。源于中国网络词汇。
参考译文
Air-conditioning Hunter
Chinese citizens do not usually stay home during the summertime due to continually high temperatures. Instead, they go to malls, supermarkets, banks, or bookstores located downtown in their cities. These air-conditioned places usually become overcrowded, causing people to look for a new, air-conditioned destination. Therefore, the phrase “air-conditioning hunter” came into being.
