北极是世界上最寒冷的地区之一。在口语交流中,人们用表达 “It’s like the North Pole.” 来形象地比喻 “天气就像冰天雪地的北极一样非常寒冷”。
如果想用英语来比较两个事物的相似点,可以使用这个表达中的句型 “It’s like…” 就像……一样。“It’s like the North Pole.” 将说话者所在地的天气比作冰雪严寒的北极天气,突出了寒冷的程度。另外,句子中的 “the North Pole” 也可以用 “the Arctic” 替换,意思不变。
I’m glad I took my gloves today – it’s like the Arctic out there!
我真庆幸今天戴了手套,外面就像北极一样冷!
My teeth were chattering as I walked to work today – it was like the North Pole!
今天我在走路上班的路上,牙齿一直在打战。天气太冷了,冷得像北极一样!
