　　2. stifling 令人窒息的闷热

　　3. Africa-hot 像非洲一样热
　　Here, Africa is used as an adjective meaning extremely hot weather.
　　It's Africa-hot out there! I wouldn't step outside if you paid me 100 yuan. (外面太热了！就算你给我100块钱我也不会出门的。)
　　4. thermometer-breaker 温度计都要热爆了
　　When the weather is so hot that it feels like the thermometer could break.
　　I didn't want to run today. It's a thermometer-breaker (day). (我今天不想跑步了。这天气，温度计都快热爆了。)
