最近形成了許多颱風,除了風雨超強的米塔颱風之外,導致日本災情慘重的哈吉貝颱風仍在上演。哈吉貝颱風的威力之大到好多外媒都在討論,深深怕日本又出現可怕的災情。氣象英文還停在「The weather is nice.」這樣淺顯的內容嗎?今天跟小編一起補充時事,也學一學更深入的氣象英文單字吧!
Original news from CNN
More than seven million people have been asked to evacuate their homes as Typhoon Hagibis makes landfall in Japan on its way to Tokyo. At least two people are dead and three others missing. Heavy rains and winds are lashing what is the world’s largest area, and meteorologists say the typhoon could be the most dangerous in more than 60 years.
