形容詞:
1 bright / sunny
表達(dá)陽光充足,沒有陰天,沒有遮蓋,但不一定刺眼。
例:
It's so bright / sunny outside!
外面太陽好大!
2 harsh
刺眼的,能形容陽光刺眼、聲音刺耳,光線過于強(qiáng)烈。
例:
The sun is so harsh. I can't open my eyes!
太陽真刺眼,我睜不開眼!
3 scorching
灼熱的,當(dāng)你被太陽曬得感覺皮膚快燒起來的時候,你就可以用這個詞來形容太陽(又曬又熱的暴曬)。
例:
Can we go somewhere else? There are no trees in the square and the sun is scorching.
咱能去個別的地方嗎?這廣場上一棵樹都沒有,曬死人了!
動詞:
4 shine
to send out or reflect light
照耀;發(fā)光;反光
用shine這個詞客觀的表達(dá)了太陽發(fā)出光照這一現(xiàn)象,但是對于描述“太曬”這一程度來講,shine這個詞還沒有那么強(qiáng)烈的感覺。
例:
Is that light shining in your eyes?
光晃你眼嗎?
The sun shone all afternoon.
整個下午陽光燦爛。
