中国人除了爱好美食,也特别讲究穿衣。在春天和秋天这两个季节里中国人有着一种独特的穿衣理论——"春捂秋冻"。哪怕是同样的温度,穿的衣服也会完全不同。春天讲究保暖,哪怕是大太阳,也最好穿着棉衣。秋天讲究受冻,哪怕是大风吹,也最好穿着T恤,感受寒冷。这种穿衣理论科学吗?人人都会这么做吗?请让Chinesepod告诉你吧!

Hey, you girls have weak bodies to begin with yet you only care about style, and don't pay any attention to the temperature. Take a look at you for example. It's already fall and you're still wearing a skirt!

You want everyone to be like you? It's not even the dead of winter and you're already wrapped up in your overcoat. When it really starts snowing later, what are you going to do? Come to work in wrapped in a quilt?

I'll worry about that later. As long as I don't get sick from the cold, I'm fine. The body is the means of the revolution. Don't let your body collapse before the revolution has even begun.
