降温了！只会说“cold”吗？

众所周知，外国人见面就喜欢聊天气，就像中国人见面就问吃饭没有一样。天气是最常见的“small talk”话题。这个看起来有点儿无聊的话题其实是消除陌生感，打开话匣子的好办法，从天气入手，聊着聊着就变得熟络起来啦！

英语中关于“降温”的描述跟中文一样很丰富。今天我们就来看看怎么准确有趣的描述天气。

Weather

常用表达天气的句型：It is + adjective + (day) / It's sunny today / It's a windy afternoon. 

It is + verb-ing: It's drizzling outside. / It's snowing. / Take an umbrella, it's raining.-听上去像命令一样，不太舒服，建议改成下面这句：(It's raining outside. Please take an umbrella with you when you go out.)

如果感冒了，有点不舒服，可以说：under the weather: I will take a sick leave today as I feel a little under the weather. / catch a cold: Put on your jacket, or you'll catch a cold.

描述气温：It's 20℃：It's 20 degrees. It's -10℃：It's minus 10 degrees. The temperature is dropping. 气温在下降。

怎么问对方天气情况呢？ · What's it like out(side)? / · How's the weather (where you are)? / · What's the weather like? / · What's the temperature? / · What's the weather forecast?
