梅雨季英文怎麼說?從台灣豪雨、淹水、天氣預報學天氣英文

最近台灣進入梅雨季,午後雷陣雨、短時間強降雨、豪雨特報幾乎成了許多人每天都會遇到的生活日常。出門前不只要看行事曆,還要先看天氣預報:今天會不會下雨?會不會突然暴雨?通勤會不會塞車?鞋子會不會一出門就濕掉?這些看似普通的生活情境,其實都是很適合拿來學英文的素材。很多人提到下雨,只會說 “It’s raining.” ,但如果想更自然地描述今天的天氣多糟,就需要更多實用的天氣英文表達。今天,菁英就來幫同學整理出幾句與雨天相關的食用英文單字與用語,帶大家從日常生活中學英文!

梅雨季豪大雨席捲全台!台灣雨季還會持續多久?

以近期天氣預報來看,這波梅雨主要受到滯留鋒面與西南氣流影響,6 月 9 日到 6 月 10 日是雨勢較明顯的時段,西半部、山區與部分地區都有大雨或豪雨機率。之後雨勢有機會稍微趨緩,但整體天氣仍不算穩定,仍可能出現短暫陣雨、雷陣雨或局部較大雨勢。也就是說,這幾天的天氣不一定是「整天都下不停」,但很可能是「一陣一陣、突然變大、局部地區雨勢很強」。這也是梅雨季很典型的特色:有時候早上看起來還好,下午或傍晚卻突然下起大雨。

雨很大的英文說法

如果不想只是講簡單的「雨很大」,而想更進一步說明雨勢的狀態,例如「突然下暴雨」、「最近一直下雨」、「天氣預報說會下到週末」等,則可以這麼說:

中文 英文
最近一直下雨 It’s been raining a lot lately.
外面雨很大 It’s raining heavily outside.
突然下起傾盆大雨 There was a sudden downpour.
最近天氣很不穩定 The weather has been unstable lately.
出門前要看天氣預報 I need to check the weather forecast before going out.

如果只是一般下雨,可以說:

  • It’s raining.

如果雨勢很大,可以說:

  • It’s raining heavily.

如果是突然下起非常大的雨,可以說:

  • There was a sudden downpour.

如果你想表達「最近幾乎每天都在下雨」,可以說:

  • It’s been raining almost every day lately.

這些句子不只可以用在日常對話,也很常出現在新聞、天氣預報、社群貼文與英文口說情境中。

天氣預報的英文用語

新聞也是一個相當不錯的學英文管道,而如果同學平常有在收看或收聽天氣預報,氣象主播則可能會這麼說:

中文 英文
雨勢可能持續到週中 The rain may continue through the middle of the week.
雨勢週四後可能稍微趨緩 The rain may ease slightly after Thursday.
天氣仍然不穩定 The weather may remain unstable.
局部地區可能有大雨 Some areas may see heavy rain.
最近天氣多變,出門請記得帶傘 The weather has been changing quickly, so please make sure to bring an umbrella.

英文會話練習:用英文和朋友聊最近的大雨

任何時事話題都很適合作為練習英文口說的素材,而最近的梅雨季豪雨也不例外。以下幫同學準備了一段日常英文對話練習,同學可以藉由此參考此對話用到的大雨英文用法和說法來和其他同學或同事進行實戰演練:

Ryan: Wow, you’re absolutely soaked. Did you get caught in the rain?
(哇,你全身都濕了。你被雨淋到了嗎?)
Kayla: Yeah, I got caught in a sudden downpour on my way to work. It wasn’t raining when I left home, so I thought I would be fine.
(對,我上班途中遇到突然的傾盆大雨。我出門的時候還沒下雨,所以我以為應該沒事。)
Ryan: Ah, that happens a lot during the rainy season. The weather can turn on you so quickly these days.
(梅雨季很常這樣。最近天氣真的很多變。)
Kayla: Exactly. I checked the weather forecast last night, and it only said there might be showers. I didn’t expect the rain to be this heavy.
(真的。我昨晚有看天氣預報,只說可能會有陣雨,沒想到雨會這麼大。)
Ryan: Same here. I brought an umbrella, but it was no great help. The wind was fierce, and now my shoes are soaked through.
(我也是。我有帶傘,但其實沒什麼用。風很大,我的鞋子也濕透了。)
Kayla: Mine too. The sidewalk near the MRT station had a lot of standing water. I had to walk around it, but I still stepped into a puddle.
(我的也是。捷運站附近的人行道有很多積水,我本來想繞過去,結果還是踩到一灘水坑。)
Ryan: That sounds awful. I heard some low-lying areas had flooding yesterday because of all the heavy rain.
(聽起來也太慘了。我聽說昨天有些低窪地區因為大雨淹水。)
Kayla: I saw that on the news, too. They also mentioned that mountain areas should watch out for landslides and falling rocks.
(我也有在新聞上看到。他們還提到山區要注意土石流和落石。)
Ryan: Yeah, heavy rain can be properly dangerous, especially up around mountain areas. It’s not just inconvenient; it can really affect road safety.
(對,豪雨在山區真的很危險,不只是造成不方便,也會影響道路安全。)
Kayla: True. I was planning to go hiking this weekend, but I think I’ll cancel it if the weather remains unstable.
(真的。我本來還想說週末去爬山,但如果天氣還是不穩定,我應該就不去了。)
Ryan: That’s probably a good call. During the rainy season, outdoor plans can be a bit risky. You’d want to check the weather forecast before heading anywhere.
(這樣比較好。梅雨季戶外活動風險比較高,出門前最好先看天氣預報。)
Kayla: Definitely. By the way, do you know when the rain is supposed to stop?
(這是一定要的。對了,你知道雨大概什麼時候會停嗎?)
Ryan: From what I heard, the rain may continue through the middle of the week, but I’d say it could ease a bit after Thursday.
(我聽說雨勢可能會持續到週中,但禮拜四之後可能會稍微趨緩。)
Kayla: I really hope so. I’m tired of wearing wet shoes and dealing with traffic every morning.
(希望是真的。我已經受夠每天鞋子濕掉,還有早上塞車的交通了。)
Ryan: Same here. The rain always messes up my commute. Traffic gets worse, buses are delayed, and everyone looks wrecked by the time they get into work.
(我也是。下雨總是會打亂我的通勤時間。交通變更糟、公車誤點,大家到辦公室的時候看起來都很狼狽。)
Kayla: Let’s hope the rain lets up soon.
(希望雨快點變小。)
Ryan: Ah yes, please. I could really do with a bit of sunshine.
(真的。拜託,我需要一點陽光。)
