It’s really freezing (sunny, cool, breezy, chilly, warm, humid, hot) today. If I didn’t have to take the IELTS exams, I would prefer to stay at home. Actually I prefer cloudy days, because then it’s neither too hot nor too cold. And what’s more important to me is that this weather is perfect for photography as the light is so soft. So at this time of day, I like to go out with my camera to take photos.

今天真冷(晴天、凉爽、微风、寒冷、温暖、潮湿、炎热)。如果我不用参加雅思考试，我宁愿呆在家里。实际上我更喜欢阴天，因为那样既不太热也不太冷。对我来说更重要的是，这种天气非常适合摄影，因为光线很柔和。所以在一天的这个时候，我喜欢带着相机出去拍照。

In my hometown the weather is quite pleasant, neither too hot nor too cold most of the time. Even in winter, the temperature is still quite mild. But the summer is often hot and humid.

在我的家乡天气很好，大部分时间既不太热也不太冷。即使在冬天，气温也相当温和。但是夏天通常又热又潮湿。

The bad thing about the weather in my hometown is that it doesn’t snow as heavily as does up north like in Beijing for example. It does snow, but usually we just get a little bit. Every time I see children having a snowball flight or making a snowman on TV, I really envy them.

我家乡天气不好的地方是雪没有北方那么多，比如北京。的确会下雪，但通常我们只会下雪一点。每次我在电视上看到孩子们玩雪球飞行或者堆雪人，我都很羡慕他们。

I believe though China is a vast country, there are four distinct seasons in most places. But unfortunately in recent years, many places are becoming boiling hot in the summer. I guess the changes are primarily due to the greenhouse effect. So in this extreme weather, I will really prefer to work at home, and the air- conditioning is working all day long, and at night, I even sleep on the floor to be cooler.

我相信，虽然中国是一个幅员辽阔的国家，但在大多数地方，四季分明。但不幸的是，近年来，许多地方在夏天变得滚烫。我想这些变化主要是由于温室效应。所以在这种极端的天气里，我更喜欢在家里工作，而且空调整天都在工作，晚上，我甚至睡在地板上以降温。

Yes, Nanjing is facing more and more oppressive haze; I always keep a watchful eye on the weather forecast. I installed an app in my mobile phone, and I watch the PM 2.5 indicator it has become a bit of a routine for me.

是的，南京正面临着越来越压抑的雾霾;我总是密切关注天气预报。我在我的*上安装了一个app，我看到了PM 2.5的指示灯，这对我来说已经成为一种惯例。

As for the unusual weather, global warming has really become a hot topic around the world. It is caused by the greenhouse effect as the sheer volume of carbon dioxide emitted into the air, prevents the atmosphere from cooling off at night. As for other unusual weather, hurricanes, which can easily flatten thousands of homes near the coast in a short period of time, are becoming more common.

至于不寻常的天气，全球变暖确实成为全世界的热门话题。它是由温室效应引起的，因为大量的二氧化碳排放到空气中，阻止了夜间大气的冷却。至于其他不寻常的天气，飓风在短时间内就能轻易摧毁海岸附近数以千计的房屋，这种情况正变得越来越普遍。

Well, if I had to choose between the two, I’d probably go with the distinct seasons in each year because each season has its own merits. I think I would get bored if it was warm all year round.

如果我必须在这两个季节之间做出选择，我可能会选择每年不同的季节，因为每个季节都有自己的优点。如果一年到头都很暖和，我想我会感到无聊的。

No, in spring and autumn, when the temperature is neither too cold nor too hot, people in China tend to hike in the mountains, or go running. When it comes to summer, people can choose more physical activities like swimming, camping in the forests and playing balls, etc. But in winter, people believe it not suitable for outdoor exercises, so they prefer to stay at home to keep warm.

不，在春天和秋天，当温度既不太冷也不太热的时候，中国人倾向于在山上远足或者跑步。当到了夏天，人们可以选择更多的体育活动，如游泳，在森林里露营，玩球等。但在冬天，人们认为它不适合户外运动，所以他们喜欢呆在家里保持温暖。
