为什么喝热水

小美，我很热，我想喝冷水。

Xiaomei, I'm hot, I'd like to drink cold water.

好，水来了。

Okay, here's your water.

这是热水！我想喝的是冷水，不是热水。

This is hot water! I wanted to drink cold water, not hot water.

我们家喝水，都喝热水，没有冷水。

In our home we always drink water hot. There's no cold water.

那冰呢？这里没有冰吗？我没看见冰。

What about ice then? Is there no ice here? I don't see any.

没有冰。我们不买冰，也不喝冰水。

No ice. We don't buy ice, and we don't drink ice water either.

为什么不喝冰水？我觉得冰水很好喝。

Why not drink ice water? I think ice water tastes great.

因为热水对身体好。我妈妈说，喝热水对身体好，喝冷水对身体不好。

Because hot water is good for the body. My mom says drinking hot water is good for you, and cold water isn't.

是吗？冷水对身体不好吗？我不知道。

Really? Cold water is bad for you? I didn't know that.

这是我们家的习惯，也是很多中国人的习惯。今天天气冷，喝热水，我觉得很好。

It's a habit in our family, and a lot of Chinese people do it too. It's cold out today, so hot water feels right to me.

这个习惯很好！你们家都喝热水吗？

That's a good habit! Does your whole family drink it hot?

不都这样，但是很多人这样，我家就是这样。

Not everyone does, but a lot of people do, and my family definitely does.

好，那我也喝一点热水吧。谢谢你。

Okay, then I'll drink a little hot water too. Thanks.

不客气！你觉得热水怎么样？

You're welcome! What do you think of it?

很好喝！我想我也会喜欢热水。

It's good! I think I could get used to hot water too.
