        也许你对恶劣的天气有着各种怨言，但是要知道，天气散发着英雄般的气质——在你无话可说的时候拯救你，帮你打破僵局！来听Majella老师的讲解：
       
        都说英国人痴迷于天气，天气是他们最爱的话题。英国人将它称为ice-breaker（打破冷场局面的东西）：他们想要表现友善，但要和陌生人说话不容易，于是就用这种显然的事实来发话啦！每个人都对天气有自己的感想，所以拿天气来开场很好使。
        总而言之，要同陌生人开始谈话，就和他们说说天气吧！
        下面来看看英国人常用的表达：
        天冷时：
        - "It's cold today."
        - "It's freezing!"
        下雨时：

        天热时：

        - "It's roasting out there."
        - "It's boiling."
        - "The sun's splitting the stones."
        即便你只说一句：'It's a lovely day today'，英国人也很可能会回你：'Yes, but wasn't the rain awful yesterday'，他们喜欢抱怨嘛~~
        最后，别忘了试着用英语来说说现在的天气哟！

        音频原文：
       
        Everyone says that the British are obsessed with the weather. It's our favourite topic of conversation. We call it an ice-breaker. British people love to be friendly... but it's difficult to talk with people you don't know, so we state the obvious! The weather is one experience we share with everyone so it's an easy place to begin.
        To start a conversation with someone you don't know, tell them about the weather!
        Here are some common phrases we use to start:
        When it's cold -
        - "It's cold today."
        - "It's freezing!"
        When it's wet -
        - "It's raining cats and dogs."
        - "Good weather for ducks."
        When it's hot -
        - "It's roasting out there."
        - "It's boiling."
        - "The sun's splitting the stones."
        Just remember that even if you say 'It's a lovely day today' they will probably reply 'Yes, but wasn't the rain awful yesterday'. We just love to complain! Just agree...
        Give it a try: how's the weather right now?
