不久我们还在吐槽阴雨连绵的天气
最近大部分地区转眼就变身蒸笼
热得让人无处可逃
炎炎夏日,空调西瓜WiFi简直是绝配
然而有些肠胃不好的童鞋
在夏季吃冷饮、辛辣食物
可能会引起肠胃不适、腹泻
这时就可以说
I've got a touch of the summer complaint.
我肠胃有点不舒服。
今天,我们来学一些与summer有关的习语哦!
summer complaint(s)
夏日病,严重胃肠道感染的委婉说法,尤其是食物中毒或霍乱,通常是儿童在夏天感染的。
Mary has a bit of the summer complaint, so she has taken to bed for the rest of the week.
玛丽有点不舒服,所以这周剩下的时间她都在床上休息了。
Indian summer
1.深秋初冬的一段异常温暖的天气。小阳春,秋老虎
September is usually chilly,but this year we are having an Indian summer.
九月通常就比较冷了,但是今年我们遇上了秋老虎。
2.当某事接近尾声时特别平静、成功或愉快的时刻;(老年的)回春期
As her illness worsened, my grandmother still enjoyed painting, so I think she had an Indian summer before her death.
随着病情的恶化,我祖母仍然喜欢画画,所以我想她去世前有一个愉快宁静的晚年。
summer house
避暑别墅,夏舍
She found a tiny summer house,built in Japanese fashion,around a diminutive pond.
她在一个小池塘边找到一所日本式的小凉亭。
one swallow does not make a summer
一个证据并不意味着事情一定会发生或者将要发生,别略有好事就以为佳时已到;好事可能纯属偶然;一燕不成夏(不能单凭微小的迹象而下定论)。swallow作名词可以指“燕子”
A lot of things went right for us this year, but one swallow does not make a summer—we still have a long ways to go before our finances are back in order.
今年许多事情对我们来说都是对的,但是一燕不成夏——在我们的财政恢复正常之前,我们还有很长的路要走。
