今年的美国国庆处在于下个星期二,为了有一个长点的假期,我也就在下个星期一给自己放了一天假。 前前后后四天的假期,轻轻松松过一下,真好!谁知道这几天有一个热浪袭来,昨天的气温已经超过了四十度,今天要超过四十一度了!

This year’s Independent’s day falls on next Tuesday. In order to have a longer holiday, I also gave myself a day off on next Monday. It's nice to have a four-day long weekend, but who would have thought that a heat wave would hit these days. The temperature had already exceeded 40 degrees yesterday, and it will exceed 41 degrees today!

这里的气候还算可以,湿度不大,干燥,就算是在十分热的日子,我们也没有那种不停的冒汗,身体湿热的感觉。 到了傍晚时分,气温就会下降,就会有了凉爽的夜晚。 到了第二天的早上,气温就会不冷不热,舒服顶透。

The climate here is not bad, the humidity is not high, and it is dry. Even on a very hot day, we don't have that kind of constant sweating and the feeling of hot and humid body. In the early evening, the temperature will drop and there will be cooler nights. In the morning of the next day, the temperature will be neither too hot nor too cold, and it will be extremely comfortable.

我在今天的早上七点钟去打了一个小时的匹克球。 那时的气温才七十度多一点,球场上只见到一个人在练习开球,但慢慢地就见到有一些人来了,热闹了起来。 我们两个单打了一个小时,汗流浃背的,感觉真爽。

I played pickleball for an hour at seven o'clock this morning. At that time, the temperature was a little over 70 degrees, and only one person was seen practicing his shots on the court, but slowly, more people came, and it became crowded. We played singles for an hour, sweating profusely and feeling really refreshed.

现在外面的气温已经到达了华氏104度,这种气温的阳光太强,如果我的多肉在太阳底下暴晒,它们的叶片就要被晒伤,所以我也就早早的把它们搬到阴凉的地方。 它们是沙漠中的植物,应该可以度过这里的夏天吧。

Now the temperature outside has reached 104 degrees Fahrenheit. The sun is too strong at this temperature. If my succulents are exposed to the sun, their leaves will be sunburned. I have moved them to a cool place under the shade. They are the plants growing in the desert, so they should be able to survive the summer here.

家里的中央空调全天候打开,自动控制,所以就算是外面多热,家里感觉还好,但就不想开锅了,简简单单的买一份烤鸡,一些墨西哥餐回家让家人吃, 午餐就这么的解决掉。 身边人说想吃点水果,我说外面的天气太热,后院的桃子熟的好快,自己去摘,吃那个摘那个。

The central air conditioner at home is turned on around the clock and automatically controlled, so even if it is hot outside, staying at home still feels good. But I am too lazy to cook, I simply buy a grilled chicken and some Mexican meals for my family to eat. That’s it for lunch. Husband said that he wanted to eat some fruit. I told him that the weather outside was too hot, and the peaches in the backyard were ripening so fast now, he would pick any of them by himself.

明天开始气温会下降一点,再慢慢的降下来,在假期里可以天天去打一场匹克球,出门去外地玩玩,下午有时间的话还可以睡个午觉,不用太理会家里的家庭细务,对于天天要工作的我来说,太开心了!

Starting tomorrow, the temperature will drop down a little bit, and then it will drop more. During the holiday, can play a game of pickleball every day, go out of town to have some fun, take a nap if have time, and don’t need to do much family chores , for me who has to work every day, I am happy!
