Wang Lin is talking with Alice about the recent weather. How are you doing these days? Fine, and you? Me too. It's so hot and muggy today. Yes. The weather has been dry for days. It's reported that the temperature today rises to about 40 degrees Celsius. Oh, I see. The heat makes my flowers fade, my little dog "Gege" is lying on the ground with its tongue stretching long. God damn! Did you remember the flood last month? Sure. It was raining cats and dogs. Luckily I was staying at home. A terrible flood. Some people lost their lives. Poor people! The flood is dangerous, and our government has asked people to be mindful of heat, because extreme heat may also cause death. Take it easy. The fall is coming and the heat will be finally over. I hope so.
王林和爱丽丝一起讨论近段时间的天气情况。 近来可好？ 不错，你呢？ 差不多吧!现在，真是酷暑难耐啊！ 是啊！已经连续炎热干燥好几天了。 报道说今天的温度已经高达40C左右了。 哦，我知道。高温把我的花儿都快晒枯了，还有我的小狗嘎嘎吐着长长的舌头，无精打采地趴在地上。 该死的！你还记得上个月的洪水么？ 当然，一场可怕的狂风暴雨。那天，我没有出门，真是太幸运了。 真够恐怖的！那天还死了一些人，真够不幸的。 洪水很危险。政府已经要求人们小心高温防暑了，酷暑也会造成死亡的。 别担心了。秋天马上就要到了，酷暑会很快结束的。 但愿如此吧！ ——译文来自: carol12590
