Weather /'weð?/
Definition:
the atmospheric conditions that comprise the state of the atmosphere in terms of temperature and wind and clouds and precipitation
由溫度、風(fēng)、云和降雨等一系列狀態(tài)變化組成的氣象現(xiàn)象的合稱
Example:
Tomorrow the weather should be warm and sunny.
明天的天氣應(yīng)該是溫暖和晴朗的。
Whether /'weð?/
Definition:
introduces two alternatives
介紹兩種選擇
Example:
It will take ages whether you drive or fly.
無論你開車還是坐飛機(jī),都要花很長時(shí)間
也許你能清楚的明白這兩者的區(qū)別,
但是就是記不住怎么辦?
下面小編就從網(wǎng)友那里找到了一個(gè)記憶的小竅門,
快看看適不適合你
“
Here's my memory trick:
Weather (such as a storm) affects the sea, and "sea" is spelled with an "ea" just like "weather."
天氣(像是暴風(fēng)雨)會影響海洋,海洋sea的拼寫中有一個(gè)“ea”,天氣“weather”中也有一個(gè)“ea”。
Weather affects the sea.
天氣影響海洋。
The other spelling ("whether") is a conjunction that introduces choices:
另一個(gè)單詞(whether)是一個(gè)為引出選項(xiàng)的連詞
I don't know whether to laugh or cry.
我不知道我應(yīng)該哭還是笑。
Just remember the "sea" trick for "weather," and then you know that "whether," the conjunction, is the other spelling.
你只要記住“sea”和“weather”都有“ea”這個(gè)竅門,而“whether”作為連詞和它拼寫不同就可以了。
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.
最后一個(gè)你可能還不知道的趣聞是:wether這個(gè)單詞也是真實(shí)存在的,它是被閹割的公羊的名字。
