As a cultured(有教养的) citizen of the globe(世界公民) (social media), I am witness to a lot of different opinions about the weather throughout the year. I will soon be sharing my own, as Sydney weather begins to warm, triggering my dread of the hot months to come.(很快我也要分享我自己的了,因为悉尼的天气开始变暖,引发了我对即将到来的炎热月份的恐惧。)
作为一个有教养的地球公民(社交媒体上的),我一年到头见证了许多关于天气的不同观点。很快我也要分享我自己的了,因为悉尼的天气开始变暖,引发了我对即将到来的炎热月份的恐惧。
As the cold mornings start to ease, and everyone and their hot mothers(所有人,甚至包括他们的母亲) start to post from the beach, I see friends overseas shiver(发抖,颤抖)ing in fear at the fast-approaching(快速逼近的) winter, when they will then shiver from the cold. Anytime and anywhere cold months happen, people post about having Sad. Not having sad, which is what I call my depression, but Sad – seasonal affective disorder.
随着寒冷的早晨开始缓和,每个人和他们火辣的母亲都开始从海滩发帖,我看到海外的朋友们对快速逼近的冬天恐惧得发抖,然后他们又会因为寒冷而发抖。任何时候任何地方只要寒冷的月份来临,人们就会发帖说自己得了Sad。不是“悲伤”,那是我对自己抑郁症的叫法,而是Sad——季节性情感障碍。
For some of these people it is a genuine mood disorder, and some are being hyperbolic(夸张的) (in the way that a portion of people who just like their things to be neat claim to have OCD) – but the point is that there is a common language for people who get miserable in winter. There are products that cater to(迎合,满足) the winter-haters. There are special lamps and alarm clocks that mimic(模仿,模拟) outdoor light (not to mention heaters), and I’m glad people have the support to get through it(度过难关).
对其中一些人来说,这是真正的情绪障碍,而有些人则是在夸张(就像一部分只是喜欢东西整齐的人声称自己有强迫症一样)——但重点是,冬天里感到痛苦的人有一套共同的语言。有专门迎合讨厌冬天的人的产品。有模拟户外光线的特殊灯具和闹钟(更不用说暖气了),我很高兴人们有这些支持来度过冬天。
