【關愛國際英語】▏下雪了!說到雪別只知道一個snow,這些表達也get起來吧

2020年的雪比以往的時候來的要早一些，也要多一些。

說到雪，語文老師可能會這樣形容：「忽如一夜春風來，千樹萬樹梨花開。」

音樂老師可能會這樣哼唱：「雪一片一片一片一片，拼出你我的緣份。」

英語老師會說什麼呢？是「snow」，還是「It's snowing. 」？

下面我們一起來學學「雪」的相關英文表達。

snow 雪；下雪

feathery snowflakes 羽毛似的雪花fluttering snowflakes 飄舞的雪花the first snow/snowflakes 初雪*提示：snow既可以作名詞，意為「雪、積雪」；也可以作為動詞，意為「降雪、使變白」。

如：It had been snowing all night.

整個晚上一直在下雪。

例：To build a snowman, you will need a bucket, a carrot, a few buttons and a pair of warm gloves.要想堆雪人，你需要一個水桶，一個胡蘿蔔，幾枚紐扣和一副溫暖的手套。have a snowball fight 打雪仗例：Let's go outside and have a snowball fight!例：You can go skiing in Austria even in summer.例：The blizzard was so severe that our entire family had to go out and shovel the snow together.學了有關雪的活動的英文表達後，再來看看如何用英文談論「雪」。It's snowy outside. 外面下雪了。There was a heavy snow last night. 昨晚下了大雪。Snowflakes are fluttering in the sky. How beautiful it is!Come on. Let's remove the snow and clear the way.

A timely snow promises a good harvest. 

瑞雪兆豐年。

冬天，有雪，還有冰。對於冰的英文表達，很多人都知道是ice。那麼與「冰」有關的活動你知道用英文怎麼說嗎？例：I want to go skating next weekend.see an ice sculpture show  賞冰雕例：My family went to Harbin last winter to see an ice sculpture show.在習語中，「ice」就不僅僅是「冰」的意思了，所表達的內涵更豐富了哦！。
