“冰激凌头疼”brain freeze
看到这个词以为是,讨厌冰激凌到极点的人看到冰激凌就会头疼。其实,冰激凌头疼,有时也叫“脑冻结”,指用吸管喝冷饮的时候,冷饮直接到达上颚时感觉到的来自太阳穴的疼痛感。冷饮在到达上颚之前没有足够的时间升温。
The ice cream headache, often called a "brain freeze", is actually referred pain from the roof of the mouth which you feel coming from the temple area of your forehead when you suck cold beverages through a straw, sucking the liquid directly onto the palate. The drink doesn't get chance to warm up before it hits the roof of your mouth.
虽然冰激凌被视为炎炎夏日的最佳伴侣。不过,如果吃冷饮吃得太急,就有可能出现头疼的症状。有人说,这是因为突然吃了大量冷饮导致脑袋冻住了。这个说法可能不太科学,但也不是没有道理。所以,英文中这种现象叫brain freeze。
There were simple ways of avoiding the problem in the first place when ordering your ice cold beverage. 在点冰冻饮料的时候其实有简单的办法可以避免这样的问题。
最简单的办法就是喝冷饮时吸管不要直接对着上颚。The simplest way when you are drinking through a straw is not to angle the straw in the direction of your palette.
时刻注意言行、吃冰激凌也慢慢来的人也不太会遇到这个问题。Those who remember their manners and eat their ice creams slowly are much less likely to have a problem.
