Chinlingo Podcast│Have you used Six God this summer?

Jīn tiān，wǒ yào lái ān lì yì kuǎn “ shén qì ”。

今天，我要来安利一款“神器”。

Today, I’d like to recommend you a “powerful tool”.

Jù shuō，zhè dōnɡ xi zhǐ yào pēn yí xià，jiù xū yào ɡài shànɡ dōnɡ tiān de mián ǎo，pēn duō le，ɡènɡ shì liánɡ shuǎnɡ dé xiànɡ dào le běi jí。

据说，这东西只要喷一下，就需要盖上冬天的棉袄，喷多了，更是凉爽得像到了北极。

Exposed to a spray of this, you would feel like putting on your down jacket. If it is more than one spray, you would feel as if you are thrown to the Arctic.

wài ɡuó rén dì yí cì kàn dào tā shí，jī běn shànɡ dōu shì zhè zhǒnɡ fǎn yìnɡ：

外国人第一次看到它时，基本上都是这种反应：

At the first sight of it, foreigners will basically respond as follows:

“ Nénɡ hē mɑ ？ ”

“能喝吗？”

“Is it edible ?”

“ Kàn qǐ lái xiànɡ xiānɡ shuǐ 。 ”

“看起来像香水。”

“Looks like a kind of perfume.”

“ Pínɡ zi de xínɡ zhuànɡ kàn zhe xiànɡ jiǔ，hǎo xiànɡ xiānɡ bīn，hái yǒu qì pào ne。”

“瓶子的形状看着像酒，好像香槟，还有气泡呢。”

“The bottle looks like a wine bottle. It is exactly like champagne. There are bubbles.”

Shèn zhì hái yǒu yì xiē wài ɡuó pénɡ you rèn wéi yònɡ le huā lù shuǐ ké yǐ ɡēn shén mì lì liànɡ jiāo liú。

甚至还有一些外国朋友认为用了花露水可以跟神秘力量交流。

Some foreigners even believe that one will be empowered to communicate with the spirits after using the floral water.

Wén zhe jué dé hěn xiānɡ，nǐ jiù yǐ wéi tā shì xiānɡ shuǐ ，xiànɡ xiānɡ nài ér yí yànɡ。

闻着觉得很香，你就以为它是香水，像香奈儿一样。

As it smells really fragrant, you would surely believe it is a kind of perfume, just like Chanel.

Dàn wǒ zhǐ nénɡ ɡào su nǐ：bié shī wànɡ，dàn tā hé xiānɡ nài ér xiānɡ shuǐ wán quán bù yí yànɡ。

但我只能告诉你：别失望，但它和香奈儿香水完全不一样。

However, I .m afraid I’ll let you down, “It is totally different from Chanel perfume.”

Xí zǎo de shí hou ké yǐ yònɡ tā：bǎ liù shén pēn zài shēn shànɡ，zài chōnɡ xǐ ɡān jìnɡ，zhè yànɡ nǐ jiù zài yě bù xū yào kōnɡ tiáo hé fēnɡ shàn le。Xiǎnɡ chánɡ shì？Qiān wàn bú yào pēn duō o！Yīn wèi tài liánɡ shuǎnɡ le！

洗澡的时候可以用它：把六神喷在身上，再冲洗干净，这样你就再也不需要空调和风扇了。想尝试？千万不要喷多哦！因为太凉爽了！

You can use it at bathing. Spray it on your body first, and flush it away with water. Then forget about the air conditioner or electric fan. Want a try? But never spray too much on yourself. It is far beyond cool!

Wén zi、xiǎo chónɡ zi tài duō yě ké yǐ yònɡ tā：bǎ liù shén pēn zài shēn shànɡ，nǐ jiù zài yě bú yònɡ pà huì bèi xiǎo chónɡ zi sāo rǎo le！Xiǎnɡ chánɡ shì？Bié pēn duō，yīn wèi wǒ bú què dìnɡ huì bu huì xī yǐn tài duō hú dié lái còu rè nɑo！

蚊子、小虫子太多也可以用它：把六神喷在身上，你就再也不用怕会被小虫子骚扰了！想尝试？别喷多，因为我不确定会不会吸引太多蝴蝶来凑热闹！

It can also be used to repel mosquitoes and bugs. Spray it on your body and it will protect you from the mosquitoes or bugs. Want a try? But never too much, as I’m not sure whether it would attract the large number of butterflies.

Shuō le nà me duō，qí shí，six god shì yí ɡè fēi chánɡ yǒu mínɡ de huā lù shuǐ pǐn pái！

说了那么多，其实，Six God是一个非常有名的花露水品牌！

So much said, Six God is in fact a very famous brand of floral water.

Huā lù shuǐ hé xiānɡ shuǐ lèi sì，dàn tā de zhǔ yāo ɡōnɡ xiào shì fánɡ chónɡ qū wén zhǐ yǎnɡ，pēn zài shēn shànɡ yǒu liánɡ liánɡ de ɡǎn jué，fēi chánɡ shòu zhōnɡ ɡuó rén huān yínɡ！

花露水和香水类似，但它的主要功效是防虫驱蚊止痒，喷在身上有凉凉的感觉，非常受中国人欢迎！

Floral water is quite similar to perfume, but its main function is to repel mosquitoes and bugs. Since one feels cool with a spray on the body, it is quite popular with Chinese people.

Huā lù shuǐ zài zhōnɡ ɡuó jī hū shì rén shǒu yì pínɡ，ér liù shén six god shì zuì yǒu mínɡ de huā lù shuǐ pǐn pái zhī yī。Tīnɡ shuō zuì jìn six god zhōnɡ yú chū le ɡuó，jìn rù le hǎi wài shì chǎnɡ，hái ɡǎi le mínɡ bú jiào six god，jiào florida water，zhè chénɡ ɡōnɡ yín qǐ le měi ɡuó rén mín de zhù yì ，shòu dào le měi ɡuó ɡù kè de zhuī pěnɡ。

花露水在中国几乎是人手一瓶，而六神Six God是最有名的花露水品牌之一。听说最近Six God终于出了国，进入了海外市场，还改了名不叫Six God,，叫Florida Water，这成功引起了美国人民的注意，受到了美国顾客的追捧。

In China, almost everyone would keep a bottle of floral water, and Six God is one of the most famous brands. Recently, it has been sold out of China, and has been renamed as Florida Water in the overseas market, which has aroused the attention of American people and become well favored by them.

Chèn zhe xià tiān hái méi jié shù，nǐ yào bu yào yě lái yì pínɡ six god?

趁着夏天还没结束，你要不要也来一瓶Six God?

Would you like a bottle of Six God as well before the end of summer?
