But not everyone residing in chilly areas immediately reaches for the long johns. In the West, protecting the torso, rather than the bottom limbs is seen as more important. Westerners ate more protein and drank more dairy than their Eastern counterparts. This has had an impact on their bodies. Perhaps it’sbecause of this, they don’t have to wear qiuku.
但不是每个居住在寒冷地区的人一冷就会去拿秋裤来穿。在西方，相较于下肢的保护，更重视对躯干的保暖。西方人比东方人会摄入更多的蛋白质，饮用更多的乳制品。这已经对他们的身体起到了影响。也许正因如此，他们不需要穿秋裤。
