范例一：Cool summer evening  凉爽的夏天夜晚

W: Which season do you like best?  你最喜欢哪个季节？

M: I like spring best. It is neither too cold nor too hot. Freezing days make me lazy and stuffy days make me lazier. How about you?
我最喜欢春天。春天不冷也不热。寒冷的日子使我变懒，闷热的日子使我变得更懒。你呢？

W: I prefer summer, especially the summer evenings. When the sun comes down, it is so nice to take a walk and breathe. After a rain shower, the smell of the air is refreshing. It is also a best reason for ice-cream.
我更喜欢夏天，特别是夏天的夜晚。每当夕阳西下，散散步，呼吸一下是如此的美好。阵雨过后，空气清新。夏天也是吃冰淇淋的最好季节。

M: How do you get through the stuffy daytime?
你是怎么度过闷热的白天？

W: Well, I have to hide in the air-conditioned rooms. Anyway, it is all worth, just think about the cool evening time.
额，我不得不躲在空调房里。无论如何，所有的一起都是值得的，只要想想凉爽的夏天的夜晚就好了。

范例二：Bad weather  糟糕的天气

M: So, Monica, what do you feel like doing this afternoon?
Monica，那你今天下午想做什么？

W: Actually, I had a perfect plan for this afternoon, but it is totally ruined by the sand storm. I woke up this morning and found it was sunny. So I called Lucy and asked her to go shopping with me. We were going to look for a new purse. Now it turned out to be like this. Neither of us wants to go to outside anymore.
事实上，我今天下午有一个完美的计划，但是完全被这场沙尘暴破坏掉了。今天早上起床的时候天气晴朗。所以我打电话给Lucy，叫她和我一起去购物。我们本来打算去看个新钱包的。现在变成这样。我们俩都不想走出去外面了。

M: That’s too bad. I hate sand storms too. It can be worse than any kind of bad weather.
太糟糕了。我也讨厌沙尘暴。它比任何一种坏天气还要坏。

W: What’s wrong with climate? Anyway, I think the sand storm happens more frequently these days than the years before. Can’t people do something to stop it?
气候这是怎么了？无论怎样，我觉得沙尘暴现在比前几年发生得更频繁。人们不能做一些什么来阻止它吗？

M: It is not an easy job. The government is working on it. Lots of trees have been planted in the north of the capital. Also, methods of generating rain are being used by the government to fight against the drought. But of course, it will not work overnight. So, have you come out with a new plan for today?
这不是一件容易的事。政府一直都在努力。首都的南部地区已经种了很多树。政府也正采取增雨的方法来抗旱。但是，当然，这些不会很快就起作用的。所以，你有没有想好今天的新计划？

W: My new plan is to wait for the end of the sand storm and clean my apartment.
我的新计划就是等沙尘暴结束后打扫房间。
