?????????????标题被雾霾挡住了!“雾霾”英语怎么说?

 丫头694 2017-01-01

最近朋友圈又被雾霾刷爆了!

不得不说,今年更是又刷新好几个“雾霾之最”

——范围最广、持续时间最长、强度最强,

从去年的橙色警报升级到了空气重度污染红色预警!

从19日夜间开始,华北等地全面遭殃,

如今雾霾范围明显扩大,东北、华中等12省市

都没能难逃“寒风吹雾霾不散,

浓云蔽日不见天”的厄运……


看《财富杂志》一本正经的翻译咱们的吐槽:

In Beijing,online posters seem to be taking it in cynical stride. One Weibo user said she was listening to the local radio station when a man called and said the smog outside was so serious he couldn't see the traffic lights. He had already driven through six red lights.

在北京,网友的各种“吐槽”则更是一针见血。一位微博用户表示,她听到一名男士连线当地之声,说雾霾太大,他看不清红绿灯,已经闯了6个红灯了。
“What I’m going to do?” he asked. The host reassured him and told him not to worry: Considering the density of the fog, traffic cameras and policemen couldn't see him.
“我该怎么办?”该男子问道。主持人安慰他,让他别担心。这么大的雾,摄像头和交警应该都看不清他。


现在,不仅是中国,全世界都在讨论中国的雾霾问题。然而,你真的会用英语向别人讲述这个对我们周遭环境危害最大的“坏家伙”吗?


在英语里,雾霾一般有两种说法:haze和smog

(1) haze [hez] n. 阴霾;薄雾;疑惑

(2)smog [smɑ: ɡ] n. 烟雾


小伙伴们经常说的就是“雾霾太严重了”那用英语怎么说?

1. The smog is severe!

雾霾太严重了!

2. When the pollution gets really serious, I can't even see the buildings next to me.

雾霾太严重了,附近的建筑都看不清了。

3. I'm very concerned about my son's health. If the air pollution stays like this, he won't ever be able to leave the house.

我很担心我儿子的健康。如果空气质量一直这么差的话,他就不能去外面玩。

4. The weather forecast warned of winds of up to 60-miles-an-hour tomorrow.

天气预报说明天有时速高达60英里的大风。


最后,奉上防霾大招!
