Hello again

And will come back to happy hour

When 你要回到酒馆

In the past few weeks as we were experiencing the changing season

Many people unfortunately got a cold including myself

Well

That's partially because the weather has been all lover the place lately in some cities

You could easily experience all four seasons within one day

So in today's episode

Let us focus on the topic of weather

Now i know it sounds like a very basic very easy topic

Because when you started to learn english

You probably already encountered words like sunny

Rainy

Snowy

However if you truly need to listen to a weather forecast in english

Many would find it quite difficult

That's because in the topic of weather

There is a whole set of very specific vocabulary

And also some fun day to day idioms

所以今天the 旧馆里

我们就来一起看看天气

这个看上去很普通很日常但是并不简单的话题

First of all let us focus on the word weather

When we talk about whether we generally think of short term

We think about today's whether or whether in the next five days

And here also have another word climate

Climate

So we talk about climate change

Climate 气al

This is whether over a long period of time

And here we still study climate and weether they study meteorology

Meteorology 气象学

And they're called meteorologist

Meteorologist

The very long word meteorologist in data day conversation

You would often hear people say feel under the weather

Feel under the weather

This doesn't make a lot of sense

But it actually means your physically not feelding well 身体不太舒服

For example

If you have a headache or have a cold

You can say i feel a bit under the weather

This morning i feel a bit under the weather this morning another common expression with the word weather is a fair weather friend

A fair weather friend

I think i mentioned this before

So fair weather means good weather

You probably can guess a fair weather friend is a friend that can only be with you in fair weather

So if things go wrong

They will no longer be your friends

They will no longer be there for you

所以不能共患nergial 九row 做朋友

They are sometimes called a fair weather front most of us think about

Whether we think of the now

But actually weather can also be used as a ferb one example is to whether the storm

To whether the storm means to endoor the storm 经受暴风雨的考验

This whether the storm

This reminds me of a very famous song from limis arabbler

在悲惨世界里面一首非常有名的歌叫i dreamm a dream

I'm sure

A lot of you have heard of it and one line in the lyrics says

But there are dreams that cannot be

And there are storms we cannot weather

有些梦想注定无法成真

有些狂风骤雨我们承受不起

There are storms we cannot forether

嗯

So that's about the word weather itself now let's move on to actual weather forecast

What do we actually here in whether forecast

We talk about today's forecast

Five day forecast

Seven day forecast or even fifteen day forecast

天气预报究竟在说些什么

Let's start with the basics

You would hear things like it is sunny

It is clear

Clear means there is no cloud 晴朗乌云

And also it is cloudy or it is forecast overrecast means there is no sunshine

阴天

Over cast overcast

You might also hear it is foggy and in cities with air pollution

You would hear the word smugge

Smoggy

Smogggy 是有雾霾

So these are the basic words

You won't really hear rainy or snowy

That much because there are more details to those kind of weather

So first of all let us look at rain

We actually did an clelier pisode on rain

All sorts of different ways to talk about rain

But in whether forecast

You're most likely to hear 小雨

中雨 大雨

暴雨或阵雨

Yeah

So in english

You hear there is light rain

Moderate rain and heavy rain

小中大ralight

Heavy rain

Rain in that you can have torrential rain

Tortial rain

This means it's even heavier and heavy torrential

Torrential rain 暴雨

This is just about how heavy the rain is

But sometimes you will also have rain that comes very quickly and goes away very quickly

Those are called showers like the shower you take in the bathroom

So light showers

小阵雨or thunder showers 雷阵雨

Now of course there days that it's just quickly or just cloudy

But there are also days with changing weather

So you often hear words like cloudy with sunny intervals

Sunny intervals 多云渐停

Cloudy with sunny intervals or cloudy with a chance of light showers

Very common expression

Cloudy with a chance of 多云或有小阵雨

Cloudy with a chance of light showers or overrecast with the twenty percent chance of snow

This is more specific

Overcast is the main weather with a twenty percent chance of snow

阴天降雪概率百分之二十a few years back

There was a quite popular animated film called cloudy with a chance of me balx

I think some of you probably still remember it

几年前有一部动画电影叫做天降美食

就用的是天气播报的这个词汇

Cloudy with a chance of

But instead of in the film was called cloudy with a chance of meat

Balx

That was the basic weather now lets look at temperature

Because that is also a major aspect of weather a part from just pure numbers

You would hear words like a high of twenty degrees

A high of twenty degrees

Which means the maximum temperature

That they is twenty degrees or a low of ten degrees for example

最高气温

最低气温

A high of and a low of and of course in talking about temperature

You hear soulsis and foreigheights 摄氏和华氏度

So twenty degrees sales cis 二十摄氏度or ninety degrees

Foreign eigheight 九十华氏度

What about very very low temperature

比如零下十度

In english

That is called minus ten

Minus ten degrees

And to talk about temperature

Change we set a temperatures are going to drop going down or riice going up

But when the change is very sudden and very quick or dramatic

We can also use temperatures are going to plunge

Which means go down

Very very quickly 气温骤降very very plunge

Plunge or temperatures are going to sore soar increase very rapidly 气温飙升so plunge going down and store going up

You might also hear words like a warm or cold front is moving in this means the cold or the warm air from another region is arriving

气象里面叫做暖风或者冷风过境

A warm or cold front is moving in if their extreme weather

Then you will hear what forecast saying the temperature hits record high or record low

The lowest 或a highest in record or in history

创历史新高或者新低hit record high or record low and of course in summer or in winter

You might experience beat wave 热浪or a cold spell 寒潮

For instance they can say a heat wave or a cold spell will hit beijing

热浪或者寒潮即将来袭

Another aspect

You my hair in weather forecast is precipitation very difficult world

Precipitation 是降水的意思

This would include things like rain and snow

But also things like freezing rain 动语or sleet

Sleet 雨夹now

But also 're more interesting in that check out a previous episode on snow so apart from the general weather temperperature percidityou might also hear huhudity level

Humidity 湿度

This is usually a percentage and of course wind

One thing to note is that in chinese

We would say 几级风几级风on a scale

But in english

Usually you would just hear the actual speed with the unit of mph miles per hour 英里每小时

So in english weather forecast

You'll hear a number and mph

So in so much about all the detailed aspects of weather forecast

Hopefully

Now you can understand whether forecast a lot more in the end

Let us look at some fund weather idioms

The first one is out of the blue

Out of the blue

Blue basically here means blue sky

Out of the blue is talking about something that happened

Completely unexpectedly

出乎意料的一件事情

有点类似于中文

晴晴霹霹雳

It's not as negative

So for example

She had no idea that anything was wrong

Until he announced out of the blue

That he wanted a divorce

She had no idea that anything was wrong

Until he announced out of the blue

That he wanted a divorce

So this is totally unexpected with wind

We have see which way the wind blows

I think this one you might be able to guess

In chinese

We have similar things see which way the wind blows

This is to examine closely the situation before making any decisions 官望形式

也就是我们说的看风向

So for investors

We have to see which way the wind flows before we invest in the stock market

We have to see which way the wind blows before we invest in the stock market

The next we have the storm

This we have exactly the same in chinese

The come before the storm

暴风雨前的平颈

For instance

You know that your girlfriend or your wife is mad at you

She didn't say anything to me yet

But i'm sure

This is just the calm before the storm

I'm sure

This is just the calm before the storm

Moving from storm to thunder

To steal someone's thunder

Means to steal someone's credit or to steal someone's moment to shine

抢某人的功劳或者风头

Means to steal someone's thunder

You can say for instance

It is my birthday

I can't believe that he is someoneer my thunder

如果看过老友记的小伙伴可能还记得monica 和chantller 订婚的那个晚上

Rachel 和ross 又重新复合了

Monica 知道的之后非常生气

然后就说

You are trying to steal my thunder

Because it should be hard der because for some of the idioms relating to weather words so hopefully
