This year's Indian summer has been a real scorcher. A few days ago, when a friend turned up with a face the color of a well cooked lobster, I made a crack about his foolhardiness in going to the beach or the mountains in such weather, only to learn that he had got his sunburn by just making a few business visits about town!
今年的「秋老虎」似乎比往年毒辣，前幾天看到一位擔任外務的朋友臉上發紅脫皮，還笑他怎麼有此雅興大熱天出遊，哪知他只是多跑了幾趟外務就被曬傷！
