朋友,你住在哪个城市?在你那里一年四季会有什么独特的地方?

今天就让我们通过一篇阅读短文聊聊不同的城市一年四季会有什么不同。

直接上原文:

In China , in different cities , the weather is different . In Harbin , spring is windy, summer is hot,  fall is cool and winter is cold . In Dali , every scason is cool and sunny . But in Dalian , winter is snowy and cold. Spring and fall are warm . Summer is hot .

参考译文:

在中国,不同的城市有不同的天气。在哈尔滨,春天爱刮风,夏天很热,秋天很凉爽,冬天很冷。在大理,每个季节都很凉爽,而且晴朗。但是在大连,冬天有雪而且很冷。春天和秋天很暖和。夏天很热。

朋友,你有没有发现,无论是英文写作还是中文写作,最大的尴尬之处可能在于没什么可写

没有具体的话题不知道写什么,给了具体的话题又不知道怎么写。

就像我最近的两篇文章都在聊如何用英语写“一年四季”这个话题,第一篇是受一道阅读理解题的启发,准备讲讲如何用英语写自己喜欢的季节,算是开个头。

第二篇干脆以一个作文题目入手,聊如何写一年四季的基本天气和人们在不同的季节经常喜欢做的事情。

那么接下来写什么呢?一开始我就又陷入了不知道写什么的尴尬境地。好在翻开学生们的卷子,看到一道道题目,灵感也就来了(看来没灵感了,就去读读书准没错):

比如看到上面这道题目,我们就可以试着写写自己所在的城市一年四季会有什么变化,又和其他城市可能有什么不同,甚至还可以写写自己所在的城市,现在的一年四季天气变化和之前有什么不同……

于是这么一想,思路立马也就打开了:

比如单纯只聊自己的城市一年四季会有什么不同,以我的家乡信阳为例就可以这么写。

先写好中文版:

你好,我叫胡喜,我住在信阳。我的家乡四季分明:春天很温暖,偶尔会刮风。夏天很热,好在常常下雨。秋天很凉爽,多是晴朗的好天气。冬天很冷,偶尔会下雪。你呢朋友,你的家乡四季又是什么样的呢?

再翻译成英文版:

GPT翻译:

Hello, my name is Hu Xi and I live in Xinyang. The seasons in my hometown are distinct: spring is warm with occasional winds, summer is hot but often rainy, autumn is cool with mostly sunny days, and winter is cold with occasional snow. How about you, friend? What are the seasons like in your hometown?

GPT的翻译相当准确,但显然不是我想要的简单版本,还是我自己来吧:

Hi, I'm Hu Xi, from Xinyang. In my hometown, in different seasons, the weather is different.(相信你已经看到了,这句直接就是仿写前面的阅读短文。)

In spring, it's warm,and sometimes windy. It's very hot in summer.Luckily,  it's  often rainy. In autumn, it's cool and  mostly it's   sunny day. Winter is cold, and sometimes it will snow.How about you?

如果想写的更深一点,可以两个城市对比着写比如:

我曾经在安阳上大学,就发现安阳的四季和信阳就不大一样:

虽然两个地方四季都比较分明,而且整体上都差不多,但安阳几乎一年四季都刮风,于是多半不能像在信阳一样在室外痛快地打羽毛球。

安阳的冬天虽然也冷,但是有暖气,而且天气干燥,人不太容易冻伤。而信阳不仅没有暖气,而且水气很重,耳朵和脸很容易被冻伤。

GPT翻译:

I once attended university in Anyang and found that the seasons there were quite different from Xinyang. 

Although the seasons in both places are distinct and similar overall, Anyang is almost always windy throughout the year, which makes it difficult to play badminton outdoors like in Xinyang. 

Although it's also cold in the winter in Anyang, they have heating and the weather is dry, so people are less likely to get frostbite. 

However, Xinyang doesn't have heating and the air is damp, so it's easy to get frostbite on the ears and face.

同样的还可以写同样一个地方,同样季节天气的变化。比如:

我更喜欢信阳之前的天气,那时候的春天和秋天不像现在这么短。而且春天和秋天的天气都比较温和,不像现在这样忽冷忽热。那时候的冬天经常会下大雪,我们都可以在雪地里玩耍,而现在冬天已经不怎么下雪了。

GPT翻译:

​I prefer the weather before Xinyang, when the spring and autumn were not as short as they are now. The weather in spring and autumn was also relatively mild, unlike now, where it is hot and cold. It used to snow heavily in winter, and we could all play in the snow, but now it hardly ever snows in winter.

怎么样朋友?你又会如何聊你的城市的四季变化呢?欢迎一起交流……
