1. Do you like rainy days?

No, not that much to be honest with you, because I mean, when it rains, you can’t really do anything outside, unless you don’t mind getting wet of course! And also for me, I find it a bit of a hassle carrying an umbrella around with me everywhere.

不，说实话，没有那么多，因为我的意思是，下雨的时候，你不能在外面做任何事情，除非你不介意淋湿，当然!对我来说，我发现到处都带着雨伞。

2. What do you do on rainy days?

Well it kind of depends really, because there are some things I have to do regardless of whether it’s raining or not, you know, like going to lectures and stuff. But when I’m free, I tend to just chill out at home if it’s raining. So for example, I might read a book or watch TV, and I’ll only leave the flat if I absolutely have to!

嗯，这要看情况而定，因为有些事情我必须做，不管下雨与否，你知道，比如去听讲座等等。但当我有空的时候，如果下雨的话，我会在家里放松一下。比如说，我可能会看书或者看电视，如果我一定要去的话，我只会离开公寓。

3. Do you think rain is good?

Yeah, for sure. I mean, for one thing, it helps get rid of all the dust in the air. And secondly, it’s good for the natural environment. You know, it helps all the plants and vegetation stay alive. So although I don’t particularly like the rain, I understand the need for it!

是的，当然。我的意思是，首先，它有助于清除空气中的所有灰尘。其次，它对自然环境有好处。你知道，它有助于所有的植物和植物存活。所以虽然我并不特别喜欢雨，但我理解它的需要!

4. Does rain ever affect transportation in your hometown?

Yeah, most definitely, because you know, whenever it rains, the traffic always seems to get a lot more congested. I’m not exactly sure why, but I guess it’s probably because cars have to drive slower in the rain.

是的，绝对是这样，因为你知道，每当下雨的时候，交通总是会变得更加拥挤。我不太清楚为什么，但我想这大概是因为汽车在雨中必须减速行驶。

5. Is there any part of China where it doesn't rain much?

Yeah, I’d say there are quite a few areas of the country where it doesn’t rain a lot, the most obvious place being the Gobi Desert, which I guess never gets any rain, what with being a desert and all! And also I’d say the north of China, in general, doesn’t really get all that much rain, at least compared with the south, so a lot of that part of the country is quite dry and arid.

是的，我想这个国家有很多地方雨水不多，最明显的地方是戈壁沙漠，我猜那里从来不会下雨，那沙漠又怎么样呢?我还要说，总的来说，中国的北方并没有得到那么多的雨水，至少与南方相比，所以中国的大部分地区相当干燥和干燥。

6. What effects can a shortage of rain have on people’s lives?

Well thinking about it, I suppose one of the biggest affects it can have is on our food supply, because things like fruit and vegetables need water to grow, and rain provides the water. So you know I think it’s pretty safe to say that a shortage of rain is likely to result in a decrease in our overall food supply.

好好想想，我想它对我们的食物供应会产生最大的影响，因为像水果和蔬菜之类的东西需要水来生长，而雨水提供水。所以，你知道，我认为很安全的说法是，雨水的短缺很可能导致我们总体粮食供应的减少。

7. Can you remember a time when it rained particularly heavily in your hometown?

Yeah I can. About a year or so ago, we had, like, several days of torrential rain, almost non-stop, and so the whole of my neighborhood got flooded. You know, the water was like, up to my knees, and so traffic came to a complete standstill. So yeah, that was probably the worst time I can remember.

是的，我能。大约一年前，我们下了几天的大雨，几乎不停歇，因此整个社区都被洪水淹没了。你知道，水就像我的膝盖一样，所以交通完全停止了。所以，这可能是我记忆中最糟糕的时候了。

8. Do you think the seasons have changed in recent years, compared to the past?

Yeah I’d say they have. You know, I think it’s fair to say the summer has got quite a lot hotter, because I mean, it seems to be hitting 40 degrees every year now, and that definitely wasn’t the case in the past. And also the winter isn’t as cold as it used to be, because you know, if I think back to when I was a child, it used to snow quite a lot during the winter, but now it hardly snows at all.

是的，我说他们有。你知道，我认为说夏天变得相当炎热是公平的，因为我的意思是，现在似乎每年都达到40度，而过去肯定不是这样。而且冬天也不像以前那么冷，因为我小时候经常下雪，但现在几乎不下雪了。
