Unit 5 Weather and Climate

　　Dialogues/monologues:

　　I am passionate about English, and the challenge of expressing English fluently and swimmingly with

　　foreigners was the principal motivation.

　　1、……having been brought up in the countryside.

　　2、Those mighty winds pulled in a band of cloud and some patchy rain through the small hours, and into the

　　first part of the morning.

　　我的翻译是：那些强劲的大风卷起一层云彩，还有些零星的小雨下了好一会，一直持续到清晨。

　　不知道准确否?请高手赐教。

　　3、clearer skies and much light winds allowed temperatures to drop well into single figures resulting in a touch

　　of grand frost in some rural areas.

　　清凉的天空和微风让温度值降到了个位数,使得很多乡村地区出现了霜.

　　4、The early sunshine giving away to a bit more clouds.

　　give away：让步。

　　太阳被一小片云层遮住了。

　　5、There was something of a drier interlude before an active weather system moved in from the west.

　　6、Some of the more exposed locations saw sustained winds of 40mph with gusts of 58mph.
