小水滴走遍了祖国的大好河山,饱览了一年四季的美景。一路上,它有哪些奇遇呢?且听它娓娓道来——
: I’m a water drop. I’m in the pool. I’m in the river. I’m in the lake. I’m in the ocean. I’m in the cloud. I’m in the rain. I’m in the snow. The wind blows me away. The sun dries me up.
云cloud、雨rain、雪snow、风wind、太阳sun,这些都是名词;
sun是专有名词,前面一般要加the, 即the sun;
cloud是可数名词;rain、snow、wind都是不可数名词。
In China, different places have different kinds of weather.
snowy、icy、windy、sunny这些都是形容词,分别由名词snow、ice、wind、sun转化而来。类似的词还有cloud-cloudy、fog-foggy、storm-stormy等。
rain、wind、snow等还可以作动词。在日常使用中,我们要特别注意单词的不同词性。如:
1. It often snows in winter in Harbin.(动词,下雪)
2. There is a lot of snow in the sky.(不可数名词,雪)
3. It’s snowy. / On snowy days,we can make snowmen. (形容词,下雪的)

In spring, the water drop is in the cloud. He meets a swallow.
In summer, the water drop is in the rain. A little frog passes by.
In autumn, the water drop is in front of the piggy’s house.
In winter, the water drop is in the snow. He sees a polar bear.
How is the weather?或What’s the weather like?用于询问:“天气怎么样?”回答是:The weather is .../It’s ...;What’s the temperature?则用于询问确切的温度,回答时一般用:It’s ... degrees.
包括中國在内,世界上绝大部分国家使用摄氏度(degrees centigrade)这一单位来计量温度。美国则使用华氏度(degrees fahrenheit)。摄氏度与华氏度之间的转换公式为:华氏度=摄氏度×1.8+32;摄氏度=(华氏度-32)÷1.8。熟练掌握加减乘除的你一定可以看出华氏度比摄氏度在数值上大了很多。因此,当我们的温度计明明显示37℃,而有人跟你说:“It’s too hot! The temperature hits 98.6 degrees!”时,不要惊讶哦!因为他使用的是华氏度啦。
