The staple foods for Chinese~中国人的主食[zhōng guó rén de zhǔ shí]

同じ気温でも　暑いと感じるか　寒いと感じるかは　人によって違います。
わたしは　大阪の近くに住んでいます。
今朝の最低気温は3℃でした。私にとっては　かなり寒いです。
朝、起きたら　暖房をつけます。
でも、ある海外の生徒さんに、「今日は寒いですか」ときいたら、「寒くない」と言います。
それで、気温は何度かきいたら、「－15℃です。」と言うんですね。
－15℃！　寒いでしょ！！　
こんなふうに、住んでいる場所によって　同じ気温でも、暑い、寒いの感じ方は　全く違うということですね。

Whether you feel hot or cold at the sam temperature depends on the person.　I live near Osaka.　The lowet temperature this morning was 3 degrees. It is quite cold for me.
Ｂut when asked one overseas student if it was cold todey, she replied tha it wasn't.
So I asked her what the temperature was, and she said minus 15 degrees.
-15℃！　It's really cold!
