罕見霸王級(jí)寒潮！得刷新你關(guān)于寒的那些詞匯/語料/英文表達(dá)了

小編想應(yīng)該會(huì)有很多童鞋在這樣特別的日子里，遇到一些特別的人，發(fā)生些特別的事兒吧~~辣么，有關(guān)于寒潮與雪的英文表達(dá)、語料話題得趕緊get了~~

[大寒]Major Cold

The traditional Chinese lunar calendar divides the year into 24 solar terms. Major Cold (Chinese: 大寒), the 24th solar term, begins this year on Jan 20 and ends on Feb 4.

中國(guó)農(nóng)歷傳統(tǒng)上將一年分為24個(gè)節(jié)氣，大寒正是第24個(gè)節(jié)氣。今年大寒從1月20日開始，2月4日結(jié)束。

Major Cold is the last solar term in winter and also the last solar term in the annual lunar calendar. In this period, snow, rain and icy cold weather exert a big influence on people’s lives.

大寒是寒冷冬天的最后一個(gè)節(jié)氣，也是農(nóng)歷的最后一個(gè)節(jié)氣。在此期間，雪，雨和冰冷天氣會(huì)對(duì)人們的生活產(chǎn)生非常大的影響。

[寒潮]cold spell

人們通常用cold snap、cold wave、cold front、cold spell來表達(dá)寒潮。

所謂寒潮，就是北方的冷空氣前鋒（cold front）大規(guī)模地向南侵襲我國(guó)，造成大范圍急劇降溫（sharp drop of temperature）的天氣過程。寒潮常常伴有大風(fēng)（strong gale）、霜凍（frost）、暴風(fēng)雪（blizzard）和雨凇（glaze）等惡劣天氣，一般多發(fā)生在秋末、冬季、初春時(shí)節(jié)。寒潮過后，當(dāng)?shù)貢?huì)受low pressure area（低氣壓）控制。

相關(guān)TOPIC——環(huán)境保護(hù)；城市環(huán)境；能源節(jié)約

Every winter, as homes in northern China are warmed up by central heating, a debate emerges over whether to provide the same service to southern China. This year is no exception.

每年冬天，當(dāng)北方家庭享受著集中供暖的時(shí)候，關(guān)于南方是否應(yīng)該供暖的爭(zhēng)論就浮現(xiàn)出來。

The controversy stems from a government decision made six decades ago. In the 1950s, the government drew a line on the map of China, which runs almost along the Qinling Mountains and the Huaihe River. The line not only defines China’s northern and southern regions, but also determines whether you live in a region cold enough to receive government-supported heating, Xinhua reported.

爭(zhēng)論來源于60年前的一項(xiàng)政府決議。20世紀(jì)50年代，我國(guó)政府沿著地圖上的秦嶺和淮河劃了一條線，據(jù)新華社報(bào)道，這條線不僅成了中國(guó)南方和北方的界線，更決定了你住的地區(qū)是不是冷得夠得上享受政府提供的集中供暖。

Cities north of the line have coal-fired central heating, which circulates hot water generated by government heating stations through pipelines and radiators to almost every residential building and public facility.

秦嶺——淮河一線以北地區(qū)燃煤集中供暖，政府供熱站生產(chǎn)的熱水不斷循環(huán)，并通過管道和暖氣片向各個(gè)居民樓和公共場(chǎng)所供暖。

Cities south of the line, including Shanghai, Chongqing and Nanjing, do not have this service. Most residents have to turn to various private heating devices to stay warm in winter, although some local governments have started to build trial heating networks in urban communities and public places.

而以南的地區(qū)，包括上海、重慶和南京在內(nèi)，則不能享受這項(xiàng)服務(wù)。盡管有些地方政府在城區(qū)和公共場(chǎng)所開始了試點(diǎn)供暖系統(tǒng)，但大部分市民還是不得不使用各種自采暖設(shè)備在冬天取暖。

In recent years, there have been growing calls to provide central heating to the south, as more and more people expect a better quality of life. But opinions are divided on the matter.

近年來，隨著老百姓對(duì)生活質(zhì)量要求的提高，南方集中供暖的呼聲也越來越高。不過大家對(duì)此事的看法卻有分歧。

Zhang Xiaomei, a member of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference, supports reform. Pushing the line southward will keep more people warm and is “a solution for energy conservation and emission reduction”, said Zhang. But industry experts have yet to reach a consensus on this claim, as coal-fired central heating often leads to smoggy weather.

中國(guó)人民政治協(xié)商會(huì)議委員張曉梅支持改革。她認(rèn)為將供暖界限南移能讓更多人享受溫暖，還能“節(jié)能減排”。不過業(yè)界專家們并未就此達(dá)成一致，因?yàn)槿济杭�中供暖往往�?huì)導(dǎo)致霧霾天氣。

Han Xiaoping, CIO of the energy information site china5e, opposes heating the south. “It is definitely not economical, in terms of energy efficiency, to install public heating in the south,” he told China National Radio.

能源信息網(wǎng)站——中國(guó)能源網(wǎng)首席信息官韓曉平就反對(duì)南方供暖。他告訴中央人民廣播電臺(tái)：“從能源利用率的角度來說，南方安裝公共供暖（設(shè)施）并不劃算。”

“The coldest time in the south may not exceed 60 days each year, compared with 120 to 180 days in the north,” said Han. “Thus it is not just to build a complicated heating network from scratch.”

“北方一些特別寒冷的地區(qū)，供暖期可能會(huì)達(dá)到120到180天，而部分南方地區(qū)恐怕都到不了60天，”他說。“這不僅是從零開始建設(shè)這么復(fù)雜的城市管網(wǎng)系統(tǒng)的事兒。”

Another problem concerns China’s energy security. Qiu Baoxing, former vice-minister of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, worried that providing a central heating service in the south may undermine China’s energy supply.

另外一個(gè)問題和中國(guó)的能源安全有關(guān)。住房和城鄉(xiāng)建設(shè)部前副部長(zhǎng)仇保興擔(dān)心，南方集中供暖則會(huì)影響中國(guó)的能源供應(yīng)。
