This hot summer, Europewas caught in the heat wave, and many partsof China were also been struggling withrecord-breaking temperatures. Therefore,theres plenty for the British people toget excited about.But beside from a simple“hot”, what other ways are there to describe the summer heat? Apart from phrases like“boiling hot”, there are many interesting expressions that relate to unbearably hot weather.Dog days of summerIn books and newspaper articles, the period from early July to mid-August is often referred to as the“dog days of summer”. Some think the expression means the weather is so hot that dogs go wild. But in fact, the expression comes from 16th century and refers to the days on which Sirius(天狼星)the Dog Starrises at the same time as the sun. The Romans associated the hot weather with this star and would sacrifice a dog every year in April to stop the anger of Sirius.So hot you can fry an egg on the sidewalkThis expression needs no explanation and although its origin is unclear, it hasnt stopped thousands of curious tourists from testing if the saying is true, with the result that sidewalks in Death Valley, Californiathe hottest place in the USare now littered with broken eggshells. Early in July, the local government asked tourists to stop their cooking experiments. Even so, it is actually possible to fry an egg on the sidewalk, so long as you use a frying pan with a lid and the temperature is at least 49.【文章大意】本文介绍了英语中描述炎热天气的几个习语。1.

When my parents bought the house, in 1982, they were only two years older than I am now. I tried to imagine myself in two years, ready to settle down and buy the house Id still be living in almost 30 years later.It seemed ridiculous. On a practical level, theres no way I could afford to buy a house anytime soon. More importantly, I wouldnt want to. Im not sure where Ill be living in two years, or what kind of job Ill have. And I dont think Ill be ready to settle down and stay in one place.So this is probably the generation gap that divides my friends and me from our parents. When our parents were our age, theyd gotten their education, chosen a career, and were starting to settle into responsible adult lives.My friends and I “Generation Y” still arent sure what we want to do with our lives. Whatever we end up doing, we want to make sure were happy doing it. Wed rather take risks first, try out different jobs, and move from one city to another until we find our favorite place. Wed rather spend our money on travel than put it in a savings account.This casual attitude toward responsibility has caused some critics to call my generation “arrogant”, “impatient”, and “overprotected”. Some of these complaints have a point. As children we were encouraged to succeed in school, but also to have fun. We grew up in a world full of technological innovation: cell phones, the Internet, instant messaging, and video games.Our parents looked to rise vertically(垂直的)-starting at the bottom of the ladder and slowly making their way to the top, on the same track, often for the same company. That doesnt apply to my generation.Because of that, it may take us longer than our parents to arrive at responsible, stable adulthood. But thats not necessarily a bad thing. In our desire to find satisfaction, we will work harder, strive for ways to keep life interesting, and gain a broader set of experiences and knowledge than our parents generation did.By Ariel Lewiton31.
