Now that's what you call a big freeze: Revellers swim and even play chess amidst blocks of ICE in quirky new winter festival in China

在怪异的中国冬季新节日期间，人们冬泳，有人甚至在冰桶里面下象棋



When the temperature falls, most people would prefer to sit at home and curl up with a cup of something hot.

气温下降时，大多数人都会待在家里喝点热的东西暖暖身子。

But a new winter festival in Handan, north-east China, has encouraged hoards of people, wearing skimpy swimsuits, to frolic in a lake that's partially frozen over with enormous slabs of ice.

但是在邯郸举办的一个新的冬季节日里，人们穿着泳衣在半冰冻的湖里嬉戏着。



One of the main events at the festival was Cui Deyi's ice tub chess challenge, where he won several games of Chinese chess despite wearing tiny swim shorts and shivering against the ice, which covered his lower extremities.

节日期间的主要项目之一就是崔得意的冰桶象棋挑战，虽然穿着游泳短裤侵泡在冰桶中，他还是赢下了几盘象棋。
