Not everyone is complaining about the heatwave-some are loving it, especially those who are making money.

并不是每個(gè)人都在抱怨酷暑-有些人偏偏喜歡天氣熱，尤其是那些能夠從中賺到錢的人。

A hot summer calls for cool ideas to beat the heat.

酷暑引發(fā)了人們對(duì)良好消暑用品的旺盛需求。

配備了空調(diào)的出租車在城市間往來穿梭，以期吸引那些習(xí)慣走路或乘公交的人們。他們已然成了眾多市民的首選。

“生意比平時(shí)好。天氣太熱了，沒人愿意擠公交?！?/div>

And for more non-edible methods of relieving the heat, don't forget these.... air-conditioners and electric fans.

除了食物消暑方式之外，也別忘了這些-空調(diào)和電風(fēng)扇。

With pricetags that range from hundreds to thousands of yuan, there's plenty of options to choose from.

這些電器的價(jià)格從幾百元到幾千元不等，顧客有很大的選擇空間。

"The sales volume of electric fans in our shopping center has jumped 10 percent these days, hundreds are sold each day."

“這些天來，我們購(gòu)物中心的電風(fēng)扇銷售量上漲了10個(gè)百分點(diǎn)，每天可賣出幾百臺(tái)?！?/div>

確實(shí)如此，這酷暑難耐的天氣也許對(duì)那些具有敏銳商業(yè)眼光的人還是有很大的利用價(jià)值的。
