北京昨天又来了超级大雾霾!!!因为再也无法忍受出门会迷路,无法忍受每天鼻孔里挖出黑色的东东,无法忍受肺里堆积厚厚PM2.5,我已经逃离北京。但对于深恶痛绝的雾霾(haze/smog),我们还是要狠狠吐槽一番。今天截取英文网站上对haze的报道,小伙伴们来一起学习一些表达。
People refused to venture outdoors and buildings disappeared into Beijing's murky skyline on Sunday as the air quality in China's notoriously polluted capital went off the index.
Beijing's skyscrapers receded into a dense gray smog Thursdays as the capital saw the season's first wave of extremely dangerous pollution, with the concentration of toxic small particles registering more than two dozen times the level considered safe.
1. venture outdoors: 大胆出门,冒险出门
拓展:venture forth 勇敢前进
Soldiers ventured forth in the rains of bullets.
2. murky 昏暗的
The street is murky in smog.
3. notoriously 臭名昭著地
4. go off the index
off 有离开,超出的意思,超出index指数,那就是爆表啦。
拓展:
• 《华盛顿邮报》用的是off the charts表达爆表。
The air pollution in Beijing is off the charts.
Beijing chokes on off-the-charts air pollution. (此处用作形容词)
• CBS官网用的是beyond the index.
5. recede into 消失在…
6. see 见证,目睹
The history saw dramatic changes of the society.
7. the concentration of toxic small particles 有毒的微小颗粒物浓度
concentration有浓度的意思
8. register 除了注册的意思,还可译为显示...的读数
The earthquake registered 7 on the Richter scale (里氏震级).
快快拿笔记本把这些好语料记下来吧!自己造个句试试。
