翻譯 Translation
Qingqing: The Autumnal Equinox just passed, and it’s really starting to feel like autumn.
Huahua: I love autumn the most. The days are still a bit hot, but in the evenings, when the gentle breeze blows, that cool feeling is so comfortable. No wonder the ancients said, “How cool the day, the wonderful autumn.”
Qingqing: That sounds quite romantic. I’m not like you; I’m more interested in delicious food.
Huahua: The Mid-Autumn Festival just ended, didn’t you eat enough? What else do you want to eat?
Qingqing: Hairy crabs, of course. Autumn is the best season to eat crabs. The crab meat is sweet and fresh, and the crab roe and tomalley are especially rich and delicious.
Huahua: I didn’t know you were such a gourmet. But sometimes when I eat crabs, I get a stomach ache. I wonder why that is.
Qingqing: Some say crabs are cold in nature, so you should eat them with ginger and vinegar to avoid discomfort. You should try it next time.
Huahua: Well, I’ve learned something new. Thanks a lot!

Skating is a popular recreational and competitive activity that involves sliding over surfaces using specially designed footwear. Its origins date back over 1,000 years to Northern Europe, where people first strapped animal bones to their feet to move across frozen lakes and rivers. In the 17th century, the Dutch transformed skating into a leisure activity. They also replaced bone blades with metal, leading to the creation of modern ice skates. Today, ice skating is enjoyed as a global sport and an exciting pastime by people of all ages. Figure skating is one of the best-known and most graceful forms of skating.
