Temperature setting

Cultural Background

中文

在中国，家用电器温度设定通常比较随意，不像欧美国家那样精确。例如空调温度，很多人习惯设置在26-28度之间。

拼音

zai Zhongguo, jiayong dianqi wendu sheding tongchang bijiao suiyi, buxiang Ou Mei guojia na yang jingque. liru kongtiao wendu, henduo ren xiguan shezhi zai 26-28 du zhijian。

English

In China, temperature settings for home appliances tend to be more flexible than in Western countries. For example, many people set their air conditioners to between 26-28 degrees Celsius.

In China, there is a cultural preference for slightly warmer indoor temperatures. The difference in preference could stem from factors including the climate, living spaces, and traditional values. This might lead to a less precise approach to temperature settings compared to Western cultures where precision is often emphasized.
