煲蜡既英文系Wax burning 煲蜡指利用器皿盛着大量高温液态的蜡作玩耍的行为。最常见的玩法是于中秋节时,年轻人利用月饼铁罐作器皿、焚烧报纸或使用蜡烛等杂物作火源,使大量融化了的蜡烛造成火团。蜡液燃烧得最猛烈之时,向火团喷水、会产生高温火焰和水蒸气。煲蜡极为容易引起火灾。滚烫的蜡液接触到皮肤可能造成第三级烧伤。 中国香港年轻人尤其流行于迎月、中秋节正日和追月三天在公众场所煲蜡,一般伴随玩灯笼和点蜡烛等中秋活动进行。过去历年于中国香港皆有人因煲蜡而受伤入院。 2007-09-30 12:01:51 补充: 英文系: wax boiling

and boiled until it explodes. 2007-09-30 12:03:48 补充: I hope I can help you!
