W: I think a drought has set in. It hasn’t rained a drop for months.

M: I think so too, but didn't it rain last month?
我也这么想。但是上个月没有下雨吗？

W: It did rain last month, but the rainfall was only half the monthly average.
上个月是下了雨，不过降雨量只有平均月降雨量的一半。

M: Oh, that bad?
噢，那么糟吗？

W: That's right. It's really bad. I am really concerned though not panicked yet.
就是啊。真的很糟糕。我非常担心，虽然还没有惊慌的程度。

M: I don't blame you. The pastures have browned out even before the summer hasn't arrived.
也难怪你这么想。夏天还没到，牧草都变黄了。

W: Yeah, and the soil has been baked so hard that the plow can’t even break the soil.
是啊，土地烤得太干了，犁都犁不动。

M: Look like it's going to be an ongoing thing that would get worse each day.
看起来干旱好像在持续，也许会一天比一天糟。

W: Yeah. If it doesn’t rain, it’s going to get critical.
是啊。如果不下雨的话，情况会更糟糕。
