Dialogue: (情境對話)
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!
