【话匣子英语】加拿大冬天的寒冷（在线收听）

加拿大的冬天到底有多冷，哈皮和毛拉在讨论的过程里就觉得很冷，这还了得....

Harp: We’re gonna break it down into escaping the winter.

Maura: And then we’re gonna talk about hibernation, which means staying inside during the winter.

Harp: And then we’re going to talk about enjoying the winter.

Maura: Yes, which is also important. So first we should clarify what a Canadian winter is like.

Harp: Yes, because surviving winter in Canada is tough business.

Maura: Right. Many countries have winter, but the temperature doesn’t get quite as cold as it does here. Now depending where you are in Canada, the temperature is a bit different, but in winter, the temperature is almost always below zero.

Harp: Yes, and usually quite a bit below. Minus 10, minus 15, but many times it goes to minus 20 or minus 25.

Maura: Oh, minus 20. It makes me feel cold just talking about it. But you’re right. It’s always below zero and often much below zero.

Harp: Yes, I remember one time in Edmonton, for a full week, it was about minus 40.
