大家见面开口第一句常说的就是“今天也太热了吧!”同学们,上一期我们学了关于「风」和「雨」的一些英语俚语,那么本期,我们就来看看在英语中如何地道地吐槽闷热的高温天气吧!
单个形容词的精准杀伤力 It's muggy outside. 天太闷热了。 It's scorching out there. 外面火烧似的热。 It's boiling out there. 天热得跟水煮沸了一样。 It's stifling! I can hardly breathe! 这天闷得令人窒息!我快无法呼吸了。 People could be parched standing under a sun like this. 站在这大太阳底下,人都能晒干了。
程度副词/状语 给我们的吐槽加点料 It's hot as hell. 真的热到要死了! It's hot as the inferno. 这简直就是炼狱的温度! We were caught in a thundershower, that was hot and wet as a sauna! 我们遭遇了一场雷阵雨,简直跟蒸桑拿似的又湿又热! It's smotheringly hot. 热得令人窒息。 It's hot with a capital "H". Give me ice water right now! 今天大写的热!快给我冰水! It's ridiculously hot. 简直热得离谱。
再来点儿生动诙谐的夸张 It's a real scorcher. 这可真是个大热天。 We're having a heatwave! 最近真是热浪滚滚! This horrible weather is totally a torture. 这鬼天气完全就是个折磨! We're in the dog days of summer. 盛夏进行时。/我们正在一年中最热的日子。 Today is a thermometer breaker! 今天热到温度计爆表! The heat is killing me, can you see me leaking? 热死我了,你看我汗流浃背的! It's a furnace out there! 外头就是个火炉! Let’s stay indoors, you can fry eggs on the sidewalk! 待在屋里吧,人行道上都(烫得)能煎蛋了!
这些“热”的表达大家都学会了吗? 面对高温天气, 小伙伴们千万不可掉以轻心! 一定要避免在午后气温最高的时段外出, 户外活动时务必做好防暑降温措施, 如出现中暑症状, 要迅速转移到阴凉通风处或及时就医哦!
