再見夏天：慶祝夏天終於要過去的8個理由
Summer is a great season. Patio weather, vacation time, BBQ, more BBQ. But sometimes, summer can kinda be a hot, sweaty drag. Luckily, many places have seasons that give us the ability to say hello hoodie weather. Here's some reasons you should be happy summer is almost over.
我們都知道，夏天是個好季節：露天乘涼和度假的好時節，更有數不盡的野外燒烤。但畢竟夏天也是炎熱的、讓人流汗的季節。幸運的是，很多地方都快迎來穿衞衣的涼爽秋天時節。下面這些是你為夏天快結束了應該感到高興的理由。
1. No more sweat
你不用再出汗了
Let’s face it. Actually, on second thought, let’s not face it. Sweat is gross. Like, really gross. There’s nothing less refreshing than walking around with what feels like a water balloon burst in your underwear an hour ago but still hasn’t completely dried.
面對現實吧！但思考過後，我們還是不要面對好了：流汗實在是太噁心了。渾身大汗還要到處走動，再沒有比這更讓人“提神”的了：那感覺就像一小時前內衣裏有一個水球爆開了，但到現在卻仍濕漉漉的。
2. No More Mosquitos
沒有蚊子了
Good thing winter is nature’s bug repellent. Because mosquitos are just terrible. They live because of our blood, these iny, itchy, blood-sucking vampire mooches. I don’t even know why they exist.
冬天有一個好處就是它是自然界中的殺蟲劑，因為蚊子實在太可怕了。它們靠我們的血而活，這些細小、令人發癢的吸血蟲真討厭。我不知道它們為什麼會存在。
3. You don’t have to make excuses about why you can’t go camping
你不必為不去野營編造藉口了
Camping is outdoors torture. Hey, yeah, let’s go sit outside where it’s really, oppressively hot, sweat a lot and eat things from cans while we try not to get eaten by bears. But we WILL feed our flesh to bugs because we don’t really have a choice. Yeah, sorry, guys, but I’m busy from now until mid-October.
户外野營是一種折磨。讓我們坐在悶熱的户外流一身臭汗，吃着罐頭裏的東東，與此同時還要避免自己成為熊的美餐。但我們會餵飽各種蟲子，因為我們真的別無選擇。對不住各位了，從現在到十月中旬我都沒空了。
4. No more stench of steaming, melting garbage
不再有“臭氣熏天”的垃圾臭味了
The sun is great for lots of things: light keeping our planet alive. It’s also really good at taking something that already smells bad, and baking it until it smells like hot trash. But it's worse because it’s just everywhere.
對很多生物來講太陽是很好的，太陽提供光源讓我們的星球生存。但同樣地，太陽也很擅長把已經聞起來臭臭的東西烘成很熱騰騰的垃圾。更糟的是到處都有垃圾。5. Don’t have to feel guilty about being on the internet
不必為上網感到內疚
Listen, it’s okay, we understand. The internet is way cooler than exercise, fresh air, and socializing. But, once winter comes around, it’s hyber-netting time! It’s cold and windy outside, time to sit by the fire and internet until next year.
沒事的我們都理解。比起運動鍛鍊、新鮮空氣及與人交往，網絡當然是帥氣得多。但是一旦冬天臨近，那就是超級網蟲的時間了。外面又冷還颳風，是時候坐在火堆旁上上網了，一直上網到明年吧。
6. Sayonara swimsuit anxiety
和泳裝焦慮症説再見
Didn’t reach your ultimate beach body goal this summer? That’s okay, because it’ll be over soon and you don’t have to worry about swimsuits and your figure for the rest of the year! In fact, you don’t have to worry about bathing suits and overly crowded beaches.
在這個夏天沒有達到你最終的身材目標？沒關係，因為這個夏天很快就過去了，在剩下的時間裏，你也不必擔心泳裝和身材的問題。實際上，你不必擔心的問題除了泳衣還有過度擁擠的沙灘。
7. No more menial summer job
不用再做廉價暑期工
Summer is great, while summer jobs are not so much. Say goodbye to retail, flippin’ burgers or serving ice-cream to jerk kids, whatever you crazy kids do these day for money. Back to the grind, homework, tests, wait, all of these things suck, too.
夏天很不錯，但暑假工就沒這麼好了。不管你們是做什麼來賺錢，向零售、烙牛肉餅和向討厭的小朋友賣冰淇淋這些零碎工作説再見吧。迴歸老生活，做作業、考試... 等等！這些事兒也同樣令人討厭啊！
8. Pretty much every T.V. show and sport is back on
各大電視台各檔節目和各項體育賽事迴歸
SNL, Family Guy, Modern Family, whatever it is you watch, it’s back on come fall. I mean, unless you’re into True Blood. So grab your internet, camp out in front of the tv, and brace yourselves: winter is coming.
《週六夜現場》、《惡搞之家》、《摩登家庭》，不管你看的是哪一檔節目，在秋季它們都會迴歸（當然也許你愛看的是《真愛如血》）。重拾你的興趣，在電視機前“安營紮寨”，抱着自己説：冬天來了。
小編注：Winter is coming. 是HBO電視台熱門劇集《權利的遊戲》中主角之一的 Lord Stark 的經典台詞。
