炎炎夏日，热茶和冷饮哪个更降暑？

自打入伏以来，国内多地就开启了桑拿模式，气温直逼40度。吃冰棍喝冷饮，还是喝热茶，哪一种才是降暑的正确打开方式？

While you might be tempted to reach for a cold drink to help cool you down in such hot weather, surprisingly hot drinks such as teas and coffees may actually be more effective.

在这样的大热天，你也许很想喝杯冷饮来凉快一下，但令人惊讶的是，茶和咖啡等热饮可能对解暑更有效。

A study in 2017 by researchers from the University of Ottawa looked at the effect of drinking hot drinks on body temperature.

渥太华大学的科学家在2017年研究了喝热饮对于降低体温的效果。

The results revealed that a hot drink can cool you down, but only in dry conditions.

研究结果揭示，热饮可以让你感觉凉快，但只有在干燥的环境中才如此。

Speaking to the Smithsonian Mag, Dr Ollie Jay, one of the authors of the study, explained: “If you drink a hot drink, it does result in a lower amount of heat stored inside your body, provided the additional sweat that’s produced when you drink the hot drink can evaporate.”

在接受《史密森学会杂志》采访时，该研究的作者之一奥利·杰博士解释说：“如果喝热饮，体内储存的热量就会降低，前提是喝热茶时排出的汗水可以蒸发掉。”

Essentially, when you ingest a hot drink, you start sweating more. If the sweat is able to evaporate, it actually cools you down, more than compensating for the added heat to the body from the fluid.
