 全国很多地方都迎来了今年的初雪,降温模式开启,如何准确表达自己的感受呢。今天Jenny和Adam就要说一说不同的“冷”。


 


好冷呀

最简单直接的表达:

I'm cold. 我很冷。

或形容天气很冷:

It's cold. 天很冷。

The weather is cold. 天气很冷。

口语中经常这样说:

It's cold outside. 外面天气很冷。



感冒

Cold除了形容词以外,还可以做名词:

Having a cold. 感冒了。

英语中还有一个词有感冒的意思:

Flu: 流感,流行性感冒

Flu和cold除了有程度的区别外,在口语中使用的冠词也不同:

I caught/got a cold. 我感冒了。

I caught/got the flu. 我得了流感。



冷空气

新闻播报中经常能够听到“冷空气”这个词,虽然它的确是一团“冷的空气”但英文名不是cold air ✘,正确说法是:

Cold front: 冷空气,冷锋

The cold front will bring cold temperatures. 冷空气将带来低温。



非常冷不只有very cold

形容非常冷除了“very cold”还可以说:

Super cold: 超级冷

另外也可以用到这个词:

Freezing: 冰冻的

Freezing cold: 冰冷的

怎么用:

It's freezing cold! 外面太冷了!


有一些冷

刚入冬时天气有一些冷:

Chilly 1: /ˈtʃɪl.i/ 寒冷的

I felt a bit chilly so I put on a jacket. 我觉得有点冷,所以就穿了件夹克。

也可以用它的名词形式:

I got the chills. 我感到冷飕飕的。

另一个词也可以形容凉凉的感觉:

Crisp:凉爽的,清爽的

I breathed in deeply the crisp mountain air. 我深深地吸了口山间清爽的空气。



生活影响

形容路况结冰:

Icy: 结冰的

An icy pavement: 结冰的人行道

一夜大雪后,被困在了家中:

Snowed in: 被大雪封住

Many people were snowed in by Tuesday's snowstorm.因为周二的暴风雪,很多人都被大雪困住了。



零下几度

零下多少度可以用到这个词:

Minus: 减的,负的

口语中也有很多人会说below:

Below zero: 零度以下

It's freezing, it's below zero out there. 太冷了,外面温度都零下了。



人也可以很“冷”

“冷”不仅可以形容天气,也可以形容人的性格:

Frigid 2: 冷淡的

She replied with a frigid smile. 她回了一个冷淡的微笑。

此外,还有两个有趣的短语,它们都由“cold+身体部位”组成:

Cold shoulder: 冷淡对待

怎么用:

Give someone the cold shoulder

I can't believe he gave me the cold shoulder. 真不敢相信他竟然故意不理我。

美国人经常用totally这个词,你可以这样说:

He totally gave me the cold shoulder! 他完全就是在忽略我!

通常用来形容做出重大决定之前人们担心害怕的心情:

Cold feet: 突然退缩,裹足不前

怎么用:

Have/get cold feet

I was going to tell him but I got cold feet. 我本来要告诉他的,但是我突然退缩了。



供暖设备

在寒冷的冬天,除了保暖的衣物,保暖设备也少不了。

Heater: 供暖设备

各种各样的供暖工具都可以叫做heater,例如可以制热的空调,家里的暖气片等。

Heating: 暖气

Floor heating: 地暖

Fire place: 壁炉



adj.凉快的,寒冷的
  • I feel chilly without a coat.我由于没有穿大衣而感到凉飕飕的。
  • I grew chilly when the fire went out.炉火熄灭后,寒气逼人。
adj.寒冷的,凛冽的;冷淡的;拘禁的
  • The water was too frigid to allow him to remain submerged for long.水冰冷彻骨,他在下面呆不了太长时间。
