翻譯 Translation
Qingqing: The weather’s getting hotter lately, and it’s getting light so early.
Huahua: That’s because the summer solstice is coming. It’ll be the longest day of the year.
Qingqing: Right. It’s also the shortest night — usually it doesn’t get dark until after seven o’clock.
Huahua: Once the summer solstice arrives, it means the hottest two months of summer are about to begin.
Qingqing: But it’s also the best time for eating ice and playing in the water.
Huahua: True. But when going out, you still need to watch out for sunburn, heatstroke and UV damage.
Qingqing: I always bring an umbrella, sunscreen and sunglasses when I go out. That should be safe enough, right?
Huahua: I think you’re just afraid of getting a tan. I’m off to get lunch — this kind of weather totally calls for cold noodles, they’re perfect for the summer.

While its name in English suggests something threatening, it’s actually a charm designed to ward off misfortune. The origins of the nazar boncu?u can be traced back to ancient Mediterranean and Middle Eastern traditions.
