temperature drop

降温

(jiànɡwēn)

A: Why are you always wiping your nose? Did you catch a cold?

你怎么一直在擦鼻子,是不是感冒了?

(nǐ zěnme yìzhí zài cā bízi, shì búshì ɡǎnmào le?)

B: Yeah. Some big winds caused the temperature to drop recently. I wasn't paying attention to the weather reports, so I wore short sleeves outside and then ended up catching a cold.

是啊,最近突然刮大风,导致降温,我也没怎么关注天气预报,还穿着短袖在外面到处走,结果被冻感冒了。

(shì a, zuìjìn tūrán ɡuā dàfēnɡ, dǎozhì jiànɡwēn, wǒ yě méi zěnme ɡuānzhù tiānqì yùbào, hái chuān zhe duǎnxiù zài wàimiàn dàochù zǒu,jiéɡuǒ bèi dònɡ ɡǎnmào le.)

A: You really are something. How can you not pay attention to your health and live such a sloppy life.

你可真行,一个人怎么一点都不注意身体,活的这么粗糙。

(nǐ kě zhēnxínɡ, yíɡè rén zěnme yìdiǎn dōu bú zhùyì shēntǐ, huó de zhème cūcāo.)

B: Well this cold made me learn my lesson. I'll definitely pay more attention from now on.

生病就学乖了,以后我一定多注意。

(shēnɡbìnɡ jiù xué ɡuāi le, yǐhòu wǒ yídìnɡ duō zhùyì.)
