2. Climate
气候

There are warm days in the UK, but you know you're in a damp country when the merest hint of sunshine is front page news.
英国也有温暖的日子,但你要明白你是在一个潮湿的国家,哪怕有一丁点出太阳的迹象也是头条新闻

Britain has four seasons, and while the transitions between them can be pleasant, each is typically as wet, gray and cold as the last.
英国有四季,虽然四季交替时比较舒适,但每一季都很分明:潮湿、灰暗、寒冷。

All are considered by Brits to be "ice cream weather."
英国人看来这四季都是“冰淇淋天气”。

Whatever the climate throws at you, be prepared for endless conversations about it.
不论你遇到怎样的天气,都要准备面对关于天气无休止的讨论。

These needn't be dull since, like Eskimos with snow, Brits have a impressive lexicon for rain.
这也不会很无聊,因为就好像爱斯基摩人有许多关于“雪”的词汇一样,关于“雨” 英国人也有许多说法。

If you hear the word "mizzle," it probably means a light shower. Or maybe a low quality Snoop Dogg track.
如果你听到“mizzle”这个词,意思应该是小雨。不过也可能是一张低音质的Snoop Dogg(美国歌手)的唱片。
