摘要：盛夏的酷热持续升温，由于华中地区的校园宿舍没有配备空调，为避暑降温，学生们不得不施展各种奇思妙想。全国各地的学生们纷纷打响了一场宿舍避暑战。你知道怎么用英语表达吗?

With summer heating up, campus dormitories without air conditioners in Central China are pushing students in pursuit of cooler temperatures to escape heat. Students nationwide are commencing a campaign to keep cool in their dormitories.

Hong Li, a sophomore majoring in architecture at Guangdong University of Technology, recently read on Sina Weibo that holding a wax gourd while sleeping can cool the body by three degrees.

Students at Hubei University of Technology set up an inflatable pool in their dormitory. They play card games and even eat instant noodles in the pool.
