“天气”是“weather”还是“whether”?
“wether”又是什么?
Definition:
the atmospheric conditions that comprise the state of the atmosphere in terms of temperature and wind and clouds and precipitation
由温度、风、云和降雨等一系列状态变化组成的气象现象的合称
Example:
Tomorrow the weather should be warm and sunny.
明天的天气应该是温暖和晴朗的。
Whether /'weðə/
Definition:
introduces two alternatives
介绍两种选择
Example:
It will take ages whether you drive or fly.
无论你开车还是坐飞机,都要花很长时间
也许你能清楚的明白这两者的区别,
但是就是记不住怎么办?
下面小编就从网友那里找到了一个记忆的小窍门,
快看看适不适合你
Here's my memory trick:
Weather (such as a storm) affects the sea, and "sea" is spelled with an "ea" just like "weather."
天气(像是暴风雨)会影响海洋,海洋sea的拼写中有一个“ea”,天气“weather”中也有一个“ea”。
Weather affects the sea.
天气影响海洋。
The other spelling ("whether") is a conjunction that introduces choices:
另一个单词(whether)是一个为引出选项的连词
I don't know whether to laugh or cry.
我不知道我应该哭还是笑。
Just remember the "sea" trick for "weather," and then you know that "whether," the conjunction, is the other spelling.
你只要记住“sea”和“weather”都有“ea”这个窍门,而“whether”作为连词和它拼写不同就可以了。
And here s a final tidbit you re unlikely to know already: wether is a real word too. It s the name for a castrated ram.
最后一个你可能还不知道的趣闻是:wether这个单词也是真实存在的,它是被阉割的公羊的名字。
