[해석]

날씨가 추워도 꼭 차가운 음료를 마시는 사람들이 있다. 이러한 사람들을 부르는 새로운 용어(얼죽아)가 생겼을 정도로 널리 퍼진 트렌드이다. 한 커피 전문점의 판매 데이터 수치를 분석해 보면, 겨울에 아이스 음료 판매량이 증가한 것을 알 수 있다. 2020년 올해 겨울은 날씨가 따뜻해서 이러한 추세에 한몫을 했다.
나는 추위를 쉽게 탄다. 그래서 이런 추세와 상관없이 아주 뜨거운 음료를 좋아한다. 무더운 한 여름에도 차가운 음료보다는 따뜻한 음료를 더 많이 마시는 편이다. 그래서 나는 한겨울에 아이스 음료를 마시는 사람들이 잘 이해되지 않는다.
