主題：Weather（天氣）3

句子1：Snow, like rain, can be light or heavy. Light snow can also be called?snow flurries. When the snow is being blown around in the wind, we can describe it as?driving snow?or?swirling snow. It can be wonderful to walk through?fresh, powdery, newly-fallen snow?– but not so nice to drive on it. So we?clear the snow?or?plough the snow?with vehicles to remove it from the roads. You can also do this manually – that’s called?shoveling the snow. At the end of winter, when temperatures rise, the?snow melts?– it turns into water and disappears.?

知識(shí)點(diǎn)：

1.?snow flurries：小雪

2.?driving snow/swirling snow：大雪/旋轉(zhuǎn)雪（形容被風(fēng)吹動(dòng)的雪）

3.?fresh ：新鮮的

4.?powdery：粉狀的

5.?newly-fallen snow：剛下的雪

6.?clear the snow/plough the snow：清理雪/犁雪（一般形容犁雪機(jī)）

7.?shoveling the snow：鏟雪（一般形容人工）

8.?snow melts：雪融化

中文翻譯：

雪和雨一樣，可輕可重。小雪也可稱(chēng)為snow flurries。當(dāng)雪被風(fēng)吹來(lái)吹去時(shí)，我們可以把它描述為driving snow（大雪）或swirling snow（旋轉(zhuǎn)雪）。在新鮮的、粉狀的、剛下過(guò)雪的雪中行走是一件美妙的事—但在上面開(kāi)車(chē)就不太好了。因此，我們清除積雪或犁雪用清雪車(chē)把雪從馬路上清除。你也可以手動(dòng)完成這項(xiàng)工作—這叫做shoveling the snow（鏟雪）。在冬季結(jié)束時(shí)，當(dāng)氣溫上升，雪會(huì)融化—它會(huì)變成水然后消失。

句子2：Sometimes the weather is unusual for a particular time of year. For example, in the winter, you might have a day that is?unseasonably warm,?and in the summer, you might have a day that is?unseasonably cool. When the temperature reaches an extreme, we call that?a record high?or?a record low.?

知識(shí)點(diǎn)：

1.?unseasonably warm：反季節(jié)的溫暖

2.?unseasonably cool：反季節(jié)的涼爽

3.?a record high：新高

4.?a record low：新低

中文翻譯：

有時(shí)候在一年中的某個(gè)時(shí)候天氣是不尋常的。例如，在冬天，你可能有一天是反季節(jié)的溫暖，在夏天，你可能有一天是反季節(jié)的涼爽。當(dāng)溫度達(dá)到極限時(shí)，我們稱(chēng)之為新高或新低。

句子3：Here are some alternative ways of saying the weather was good. You can say the weather was?beautiful, lovely, ideal, superb, or perfect. To say the weather was bad, you can say the weather was?lousy, miserable, nasty, dreadful, or terrible.?

知識(shí)點(diǎn)：

1.?beautiful / lovely / ideal / superb /? perfect：都可以用來(lái)形容很棒很好很不錯(cuò)

2.?lousy：很差勁

3.?miserable：很痛苦

4.?nasty：很惡心

5.?dreadful：很可怕

6.?terrible：很糟糕

中文翻譯：

這里有一些說(shuō)天氣好的替代方法。你可以說(shuō)天氣很棒，很不錯(cuò)，很贊，很好，很完美。如果要說(shuō)天氣不好，你可以說(shuō)天氣很差勁，很痛苦，很惡心，很可怕，很糟糕。
