Hello, it's teacher Neil again, and today we will be learning about weather and all kinds of vocabulary and phrases and sentences that can help you for the speaking section of your IELTS test.
Now please follow me and practice so that when you get asked questions such as what kind of weather do you like or what is the weather like in your country, then you can describe your feelings with perfect vocabulary to truly describe what you really want to express.
你好,又是我,尼尔老师,今天我们将学习天气的相关内容以及可以在雅思口语考试中帮到你的各种词汇,短语和句子。请跟着我进行练习,这样当你被问到这样的问题时,例如你喜欢什么样的天气或你国家的天气如何,那么你可以用完美的词汇真实地描述你的感受并描述你想要表达的内容。
Alright, let's get started, shall we? First, we will be looking at hot weather.
好的,我们开始吧,好吗?首先,我们来看看炎热的天气。
Now, anyone can say, oh, I like, I like hot weather or I don't like hot weather. But there are many different ways to say hot.
任何人都可以说,哦,我喜欢炎热的天气,或者我不喜欢炎热的天气。但是有很多不同的表示炎热的方式。
Let's take a look. These words are words that express very very hot kinds of weather.
我们来看一下这些词。这些词表示天气非常炎热。
You can say, in my country, it is boiling hot. Now boil, just think about water that gets very hot and starts to bubble.
你可以说,我的国家热到沸腾。沸腾,想一想水变得很热,开始沸腾。
And we say it is boiling water. So boiling hot means super hot.
我们说它是沸水。所以热到沸腾的意思是超级热。
Just remember that. Sweltering is another way to say extremely hot.
请记住这一点。酷热的是另一种说法。
But sweltering is a very British kind of word. If you use the word, in my country, the weather is sweltering hot, then a lot of Americans might not understand what you are talking about.
但酷热的是一个很英式的词。如果你使用这个词,在我的国家,天气很酷热,然后很多美国人可能不明白你的意思。
It is a very very British expression. Another word we can use and this is now a noun.
这是一个非常非常英国式的表达。我们可以使用的另一个词是一个名词。
Just remember that these are adjectives, a sweltering day, or a boiling hot day. A scorcher is a noun.
只要记住这些是形容词,酷热的日子或热到沸腾的日子。大热天是个名词。
So we can say, Oh, today was a scorcher! A scorcher of course means super super hot.
所以我们可以说,哦,今天是个大热天!当然大热天的意思是超级超级热。
Another word you can use is a sizzler. Now sizzler is also a British word.
你可以使用的另一个词是大热天。Sizzler 也是一个英式单词。
So sizzler is also a noun, so like the Americans can say, oh, today has been a scorcher of a day. The British people will say, Oh, today has been a sizzler of a day.
Sizzler 也是一个名词,就像美国人可以说,今天是个大热天。英国人可能会说,哦,今天是个大热天。
Just remember, if you don't understand the word sizzle, just think about a pan. If you're going to put a beef patty inside of the pan, it will make a sound like sss and that means sizzle.
请记住,如果你不懂“嘶嘶声”,请想象有一个平底锅。如果你把牛肉饼放在平底锅里,它就会发出嘶嘶声,这就叫 sizzle。
So we can say and use as a noun, Oh, today has been a sizzler. Moving on, the next word we have is mild.
所以我们可以使用名词,哦,今天是个大热天。继续,下一个词是温和的。
Mild is not so hot. Mild is a lot more medium.
温和的指的是不是那么热的。温和的是中等水平。
So let's just write here medium. Mild is not so hot, but a little bit hot.
所以我们在这里写中等的。温和的不是很热,而是有点热。
So we'll just say a little hot. So we can say, oh, the weather has been very mild today.
所以我们只是说有点热。所以我们可以说,哦,今天天气很温和。
Oh, the weather is so mild. Next word we have is humid.
哦,天气是如此温和。接下来的一个词是潮湿的。
Now what humid means? Humid means wet heat, wet heat.
潮湿是什么意思是呢?潮湿指的是湿热,湿热。
So what that means is when you go outside, it will be hot, but it is not from the sun that comes down on you, it is actually just the water in the air that makes it more hot. So even in humid weather, if you sit outside under a tree, you will still get hot and the sweat will come out.
你它的意思是当你走到外面,天气会很热,但不是因为太阳照在你身上,实际上是因为空气中的水使得天气变得更热。所以即使在潮湿的天气,如果你坐在室外的树下,你仍然会很热并流汗。
So we can say humid weather is very sweaty weather. So sentence you can use is, ah, today has been so humid.
所以我们可以说潮湿的天气指的是很容易出汗的天气。你可以说的一句话是,啊,今天这么潮湿。
Or I do not like humid weather at all. I am sweating so much.
或者我一点都不喜欢潮湿的天气。我出太多汗了。
I am sweating from the humidity. Humidity of course is the noun.
我因为潮湿而出汗。这里潮湿当然是名词。
Humid is the adjective. Another word we can use is warm.
潮湿的是形容词。我们可以使用的另一个词是温暖的。
Warm is very similar to the word mild. So let's just put them together like that.
温暖的与温和的非常相似。所以我们把它们像这样放在一起。
Warm means not so hot. So we can say, Oh, today was very warm, or it is warm, but it is not boiling hot.
温暖的意思是不是那么热。所以我们可以说,哦,今天非常温暖,或天气很温暖,但是不是热到沸腾。
Or we can say, it was not a scorcher today, but it has been warm outside. Next up we have a heat wave.
或者我们可以说,今天不是个大热天,但是外面很温暖。接下来我们有热浪。
Now what a heat wave is? Just remember when you look at the word wave, it means like in the ocean, the waves will come up and go over your body.
热浪是什么意思说呢?请记住,当你看到“热浪”这个词时,它指的是就像在大海里一样,波浪会升起并淹没你的身体。
So a heat wave means that there is a lot of heat. That is not common and it doesn't come so often.
因此热浪意味着有大量的热。这并不常见,并不会经常出现。
But in the weather, it will show that a heat wave, a big source of heat is coming into your country for one day or two days. And now it is much more hot than usual.
但是在天气中会显示出有热浪袭来,一两天后很大的一股热量进入你的国家。天气会比平常热得多。
So you can say, Oh, a heat wave has hit my country and now it is boiling hot. Alright, next, moving on, we have sunny spells.
所以你可以说,哦,热浪袭击了我国家,现在天气热到沸腾。好的,接下来我们继续讲,我们还有阳光灿烂的日子。
Spells, if you are not sure what that means, spells is the same as the word periods and that means short time. So sunny spells means it has been sunny a little bit, a little bit here, a little bit here.
Spell,如果你不知道它是什么意思,它跟 period 一样,表示一小段时间。阳光灿烂的日子指的是有一些阳光,这里一点,这里一点。
So a good sentence that we can use is, it has been raining for a whole week, but there has been a lot of sunny spells, meaning that there have been periods or short times of the sun coming out. So in conclusion, when using the heat and hot vocabulary words, when someone asks you what is the weather like in your country, you can say, well, sometimes it is boiling hot.
所以我们可以使用的一个很好的句子是,已经下了整整一个星期的雨了,但是也有很多阳光灿烂的日子,意思是太阳出来了一会儿。所以总而言之,在使用表示天气热的词汇时,当有人问你你所在国家的天气如何时,你可以说,嗯,有时候会热到沸腾。
Sometimes, a day can be a scorcher of a day. Sometimes you can say, oh, well, sometimes, it's very hot, but sometimes it is very mild.
有时候是大热天。有时候你可以说,哦,好吧,有时候很热,但是有时候很温和。
Although it is mild, it is still very humid. So if you walk outside a lot, you will sweat.
尽管很温和,但仍然很潮湿。所以如果你走到外面,你会流很多汗。
Another one we can say is, what is the weather like in your country? Hmm, it is warm but sometimes there can be an occasional heat wave.
我们还可以这样回答你国家的天气如何。嗯,天气温暖,但有时可能会出现热浪。
And then it will be boiling hot. And sometimes you can say, well, it rains a lot, but there are always sunny spells.
然后就会热到沸腾。有时你可以说,嗯,经常下雨,但现在总是有阳光灿烂的日子。
Right, now moving on, we will go to cold weather and vocabulary that can express our feeling and go deeper into detail about how cold it really is. You can say, oh, it's cold in my country.
好的,现在继续,我们要讲寒冷的天气以及可以表达我们的真实感受并更深入地说明有多冷的词汇。你可以说,哦,我的国家很冷。
But there are different levels of cold. Let's take a look.
但是有不同程度的冷。我们来看一下。
First we have the word chilly. Chilly means a little bit cold, not very cold.
首先我们有微凉的这个词。微凉的表示有点冷,不是很冷。
Maybe we can say, oh, it is chilly in the winter in my country, but usually it's hot. So chilly just means a little bit, just like mm-hmm, just a little bit chilly.
也许我们可以说,哦,我国家的冬天有点冷,但通常很热。所以微量表示有点......就像,嗯,有点点冷。
Moving on, freezing. Now you all know the word freeze.
接着说,寒冷的。大家都知道结冰这个词。
Freeze means it will turn into ice. So that means of course that it is very very super cold.
结冰的意思是它将变成冰。所以当然它意味着天气非常非常冷。
So let's just write here super cold. So we can say, Oh, in Europe, it can be freezing cold in the winter.
所以我们在这里写超级冷。所以我们可以说,哦,在欧洲,冬天可能会冻得很冷。
Oh, it is so freezing cold. I thought I was going to die.
