Melting under the hot sun

The traditional Chinese lunar calendar divides the year into 24 solar terms. Major Heat, (Chinese: 大暑[dà shǔ]), the 12th solar term of the year, begins this year on July 22 (That's today) and ends August 6.

今日大暑，常州发布高温红色预警，最高温突破40℃，在接下来的一周里，温度将持续在39℃以上。下午6点多的时候，室内温度仍有36℃。没有空调的话，房间根本就是个蒸笼。

During Major Heat, most parts of China enter the hottest season of the year. Changzhou announced the hot emergency of Red this afternoon. The red level means that temperatures are expected to exceed 40℃ within next 24 hours. It may last at least one week. I noticed the indoor temperature still remained 36℃ at 6pm.

It's boiling hot today! It seems we are living in a steamer basket. Only the air conditioning can cool the room. And what's worse is the electricity was suddenly off in our community this afternoon. Luckily, after power crews' 20-minute rush-repair, the power supply returned to normal in half an hour. 

这么热的天停电该是有多难熬，而奋战在一线的电力工人却时刻待命，顶着烈日为我们抢修电路。今天下午，小编所在的区域就突然断电了，而这群可爱的人第一时间赶到进行抢修，一个小时后我们又吹上了空调，而他们可能又赶往另一个地点了。

Thanks these lovely guys for giving us a cool summer. Besides them, there are many others woking in hot sunshine. We all should say thanks to them for their insist in this hot summer to make our city better and make our life more convenient.

除了电力工人之外，还有更多的人在这个酷暑默默付出着……
