本课讲解英语中描述高温天气的常用表达，如heat wave、the sun is beating down等，适合练习日常英语和天气相关话题。
Well, hello and welcome to this English lesson about heat waves.
您好！欢迎来到这节关于热浪的英语课程。
This is day one of a heat wave here in Ontario, Canada.
今天是加拿大安大略省热浪来袭的第一天。
Jen and I are not looking forward to it.
简和我对此都感到很不期待。
In fact, I'm outside this morning at 10:30am in the shade because it's already 29 degrees
事实上，今天早上10点30分我就在户外，躲在阴凉处；因为当时的气温已经达到了29摄氏度。
and it's going to be 34 degrees today and 35 degrees tomorrow.
今天的气温将是34度，明天的气温将是35度。
If you don't know what a heat wave is,
如果你不知道什么是热浪，
a heat wave is when the temperature is in the mid-30s during the day and in the mid-20s at night.
热浪是指白天的气温达到30多摄氏度（即90多华氏度），而夜间的气温则降至20多摄氏度（即60多华氏度）的天气现象。
And that's in Celsius, by the way.
顺便说一下，这些温度单位都是摄氏度（Celsius）。
So what we're looking at is highs in the mid 30s during the day, highs in the mid 20s tonight,
我们所观察到的是：白天的气温在30多摄氏度左右；而今晚的气温则在20多摄氏度左右。
tomorrow, Thursday as well.
明天也是星期四。
I think the heat wave is going to break.
我觉得这次热浪应该会结束了吧。
When the heat wave breaks, it means it ends sometime during market.
当热浪消退时，就意味着市场交易也会在某个时候结束。
And, unfortunately, when heat waves end, often there is a big storm as well.
不幸的是，当热浪结束时，往往还会伴随着一场大风暴。
So we really hope that either happens sooner or later.
所以我们真心希望这两种情况中的一种能尽早或迟些时候发生。
But anyways, welcome to this English lesson about heat waves.
不过无论如何，欢迎来到这节关于热浪的英语课程。
An extended period of time, two or three days or more, where it's just really, really hot.
持续两三天或更长时间的高温天气，气温非常高。
In this lesson, I'll teach you some more English phrases we use to talk about heat waves and hot weather.
在这一课中，我将教你一些更多的英语短语，这些短语用于描述热浪和炎热的天气。
So I'm sitting here in the shade because over there the sun is beating down.
所以我现在坐在阴凉处——因为那边的太阳照得非常强烈。
In English, when you say the sun is beating down, you're describing a day where the sun is brighter than normal,
用英语来说，当你说“太阳照得特别猛烈”时，你指的是阳光比平常更强烈的那一天。
or it seems brighter than normal and it seems hotter than normal.
或者，它看起来比平时更亮，也比平时更热。
I'm sitting here because it's nice and cool.
我坐在这里，因为这里既舒适又凉爽。
I'm in the shade of this tree.
我正站在这棵树的树荫下。
If I went over there where the sun is beating down, I think I would overheat.
如果我去到阳光直射的地方，我想我可能会中暑。
I think I would get really, really hot really quickly.
我觉得自己会很快变得非常非常热。
So I think I'm going to stay here instead of over there where the sun is beating down.
所以我想我还是待在这里吧，而不是去那边阳光直射的地方。
Sometimes in English, we exaggerate a bit to describe the heat.
有时候在英语表达中，我们会稍微夸张一些来形容天气的炎热程度。
And there's one English phrase that I think is kind of funny, and it's
还有一个英语短语，我觉得挺有趣的，那就是……
the phrase, it's so hot you could fry an egg on the sidewalk.
这个表达的意思是：“天气热得简直可以在人行道上煎鸡蛋了。
Basically, what you're saying is if you got an egg and you cracked it onto the sidewalk, the egg would cook.
基本上，你的意思是：如果你拿一个鸡蛋，然后把它敲到人行道上，这个鸡蛋就会“煮熟”（即破裂并变质）。
The egg would fry right there on the sidewalk.
那个鸡蛋会在人行道上直接煎熟的。
Now, this sidewalk isn't actually that hot.
其实，这条人行道并没有那么热。
It is, again, an exaggeration, although I have seen people actually do it when it's like 37 or 40 degrees.
这同样是一种夸张的说法；不过我确实见过有人在气温达到37或40度时仍然这样做。
And if the sidewalk is black or a dark color and gets really, really hot.
如果人行道是黑色或深色的，并且温度变得非常高（非常高），那么……（后续内容可能未提供）。
But if you want to exaggerate a bit to describe the heat, you could say it's so hot out,
不过如果你想稍微夸张一点来形容天气的炎热程度，你可以说：“外面的天气热得简直让人无法忍受。
you could fry an egg on the sidewalk.
人行道上甚至可以煎鸡蛋呢。
So there are two versions of this next phrase to describe a hot day.
因此，有有两种表达方式可以用来描述一个炎热的日子。
The first one is to say, it's like an oven out there.
第一点是：外面的环境就像一个烤箱一样（即非常炎热）。
And the second one is to say, it's like an oven out here.
第二个观点是：这里的天气就像一个烤箱一样炎热（或者说：这里的温度非常高）。
Now, as you can probably tell, it depends where you are standing.
现在，你们可能已经明白了：这其实取决于你站在什么位置（或者说，这取决于具体的情境或条件）。
If I come into the air conditioned house and it's 36 degrees Celsius outside, I could say to Jen,
如果我走进那间装有空调的房子，而外面的温度是36摄氏度，我可能会对珍说：
