Dialogue: (對話)
Hope: | Hey, Joey, have you got a hand cream that I can use? |
Joey: | Hand cream? Yes, here you are. |
Hope: | Thanks. Every winter, I always experience the same problem that my skin gets extremely dry and sensitive. |
Joey: | Same here. That’s why I always prepare a tube of hand cream to apply at any time. |
Hope: | And for some reasons, I got lots of zits on my face recently. |
Joey: | Zits? 面皰嗎? |
Hope: | Yes, they are also called pimples. |
Joey: | Pimples. |
Hope: | For a formal expression, we can say skin blemishes. |
Joey: | Skin blemishes. |
Hope: | Freckles, scars, zits are all some skin blemishes. |
Joey: | Freckles. I have some freckles on my cheeks because I always walk in the sun without having a hat on. |
Hope: | That’s the reason. But it is perhaps because you have got bright skin. Maybe you should try wearing some sunblock. |
Joey: | Sunblock? |
Hope: | Yes. You can try some sunblock with anti-UVA function. |
Joey: | Anti-UVA? 抗紫外線嗎? |
Hope: | Yes. Anti-Ultraviolet A |
Joey: | By the way, Hope, I always feel super itchy on my leg skin, especially in winter. |
Hope: | Hmm… I have the same problems, too. |
Joey: | So, what do you do with it? |
Hope: | Well, I try to apply some body lotion or moisturizer to help it keep moisturized after shower every day. |
Joey: | Moisturizer? 保濕霜? |
Hope: | Yes. I think you’ll need to apply some of these products, too. |
Joey: | Indeed! |
