| THE dog days (三伏天) of summer are coming! Describing them as simply "hot" doesn't quite capture the intense heat. Here are some other expressions we can use to describe the summer weather: 1. to rain fire 火辣辣的热，像在下火一样 When it's so hot that you feel like you're trapped in a furnace (熔炉) Are you crazy? It's raining fire outside and you want to take a walk? (你疯了是不是？外面热得像在下火，你居然说要去外面散步？) 2. stifling 令人窒息的闷热 When it's so hot that it becomes difficult to breathe. I hate having to work in such a stifling office! (我讨厌在这样一个闷热的办公室里工作！) 3. Africa-hot 像非洲一样热 Here, Africa is used as an adjective meaning extremely hot weather. It's Africa-hot out there! I wouldn't step outside if you paid me 100 yuan. (外面太热了！就算你给我100块钱我也不会出门的。) 4. thermometer-breaker 温度计都要热爆了 When the weather is so hot that it feels like the thermometer could break. I didn't want to run today. It's a thermometer-breaker (day). (我今天不想跑步了。这天气，温度计都快热爆了。) |
