[WEEK TOPIC]Chengdu Weather ii

play football in fog (2008-11-02)

Yesterday, we talked about Chengdu's rainy season. In fact, rain is only one interesting thing of the climate. The usually weather of Chengdu is cloudy and fog.

Somebody said, there are only 2 months you can find sun in  Chengdu. It isn't exactly, but very close. The official data (http://www.cdmb.gov.cn/search/detail.asp?ID=143)  shows, in 2004, there were 1228.3 hours of sunshine during the year, if there are 12 hours are daytime per day, there are approxiate 102 days can enjoy the sunshine. But in the same year, there are 62.1 days were fog.

So, there is a saying, "Dog in chengdu will yap to the sun." It deeply descript the dog did not see sun frequently...(BTW, in today, this word means somebody do not know the normal things and make it as strange.) Even there's a famous folk song, which named "happy with sunshine" (listen and download at here: http://www.qj50.com/tp/2008/01/30/074359226.wma), people in chengdu will celebrate the sunshine. My mother told me, 20 years ago, if there's sun, everybody will take a rest from working, to do some washing, or take a drinking under sunshine. 

The reason is the geography of Sichuan. Sichuan is Basin, it is rounded by high mountains. So the clouds and some wet air can not spread easily. On the other hand, because of these mountains, Chengdu has a different climate and very beautiful view.

In future, I will introduce them, please be patient. :)

根据我在成都呆的经验来看呢,冬天一般是星期1到星期5天气很糟糕,周末天气就很好啦^_^,通常会有小太阳的

呵呵,好像确实是这样。
下篇我打算写写成都的潮湿,也算天气的一个部分吧,您有什么想法没有,参考参考。

PS:我一直认为这样可以练习练习英语,起码可以给那些中学生改错什么的……

小问一下,你学的是英语专业么?对于英语我只能看,写就太差啦。
这样写挺好的,可以向很多外国朋有介绍成都,欢迎他们来成都做客^_^。

关于潮湿。大一时对门寝室一重庆女生跑过来说,成都天气过于潮湿,晾的衣服总是干不了,而对于我们一直生活在这里的人可能没有太大的感受,我摸了摸,很疑惑,这确实是干的呀哈哈哈。

再看看我们成都MM的皮肤一个个都是水嫩嫩的,各品牌的保湿水也许在成都最能体现它的功效吧,要是到了外地特别是北方,MM们还是会觉得皮肤干躁,每天还得开加湿器。小时候每次去北方都会流鼻血,恐怕是被这潮湿给惯坏了。

成都的洗漱间通风条件一定得特别好,否责毛巾只要不是拧得特别干,多过几天准臭哈哈哈。

好吧,我承认,我不是学英语的,我的英语很烂……说老实话,他们经常笑我口语还有成都音。我只是觉得应该为成都灾后重建什么的能做点事。被子我没有多的,莫法捐;钱也被剥削的差不多了,还是房奴,也没有办法捐;我只能想想其他的办法了……我想向世界推销成都或许是个好事,所以我打算坚持做下去,(顺便练习练习我的英语……),说不定还可以让BLOG上课文或者试卷——改错题的可能性还是比较大的……
