Weather 天气 (1)
Do you want to know if it’ll be sunny or rainy next weekend? Then you should check the weather forecast – that’s the prediction of the weather in the near future.
你想知道下个周末是晴天还是雨天吗？那么你应该查看天气预报——那是对近期天气的预测。
If the forecast says the sun will be shining brightly, with clear skies (no clouds in the sky) and high temperatures, then it’s a good day to go to the beach and bask in the sunshine (or soak up the sunshine) – these expressions mean to enjoy the sun’s heat and light.
如果天气预报说今天阳光明媚，晴空万里（天上无云），气温很高，那么这是一个去海边晒太阳（或泡在阳光里）的好日子—这些表达的意思是享受太阳的热量和光。
However, if the forecast says it’ll be oppressively hot, scorching hot, or swelteringly hot, then you might want to stay inside and turn up the air conditioning! Another common phrase is hot and humid – that means hot with a lot of water in the air (so you will sweat a lot).
但是，如果天气预报说今天会非常热，那么你可能会想待在室内，打开空调！另一个常见的短语是湿热，意思是热的空气中有很多水（所以你会出汗很多）。
The weather forecast might say it will be partly cloudy (the sky partially covered by clouds). Another way to say this is that there are scattered clouds (just a few clouds). If there are heavy clouds, then you won’t be able to see the sun at all – and if there are storm clouds, then it will probably rain very soon. One way to express this is to say “It looks like rain.”
天气预报可能会说今天是部分多云（天空局部有云）。另一种说法是，有分散的云（只是几片云）。如果有厚厚的云，那么你将无法看到太阳-如果有风暴云，那么可能很快会下雨了。表达这一点的一种方式是说“好像要下雨了”。
