2 精彩脱口秀--天气 世界上的一切生灵都与天气分不开。天气是个说不尽、讲不烦的话题,人人擅长此道,尤其是英国人见面时常常喜欢谈论天气。其原因不只是天气的好坏会给人们带来影响,还因为他们不愿意谈论人和事。所以与陌生人开始交谈时,谈论天气是一种既有用又不得罪人的明智方式。 ●Isn’t this lovely weather!这天气真好! ●It’s better than yesterday.今天天气比昨天好。 ●Let’s hope it’ll last.但愿这种天气会持续下去。 ●Nice and bright today, isn’t it?今天阳光明媚,天气宜人,不是吗? ●The weather’s very annoying, isn’t it?天气真恼人,不是吗? ●I don’t like it at all.我一点也不喜欢这种天气。 ●It’s rather cool today.今天相当凉。 ●It’s drizzling.正在下毛毛雨。 ●The rain ...
