这个DI告诉你，接下来澳洲的冬天到底有多冷？,文波英语微信公众号文章

转眼间，3月底，快到4月，澳洲马上要从夏令时进入冬令时，这两天小编早上起床，就已经感觉到阵阵寒意。在墨尔本，一天四季也是家常便饭，比如今天还是冷飕飕，明天最高温度将会高达30，所以深爱夏天的小伙伴赶紧抓紧夏天的尾巴，tmr燥起来~~

言归正传，到底这个冬天有多冷呢？先提前给大家做个报备，来看看澳洲砖家是怎么说滴~~

标题为“Australia set to have its coldest winter on record”

set to此处可以理解为“准备好”。看到这里，小编的♥已经凉了一半~~what？COLDEST？？？

While we've all been freezing our arses off in the Northern hemisphere over the past few months, folk in Australia have been busy enjoying the summer sun and sticking shrimp on the barbie.

folk(人们)，这是非正式用法哦，所以在PTE写作当中，还是不建议大家替换people的。

David Taylor, who runs the East Coast Weather Facebook page, has said that temperatures and snowfall may be worse thanprevious years and impact huge swathes of the country, the Daily Mail has reported.

swathe本身是带子，绷带的意思，这里impact huge swathes of the country可以理解为影响澳洲大部分地区。

DI练起来：

"It will be slightly cooler than normal in the north but the real cold will be in the southern states and southeast Queensland," Taylor told the Cairns Post.

哎呦喂，在墨尔本的各位请注意接下来的the real cold！！！

If you're wondering why you should listen to the advice of some bloke off Facebook,Taylor has been right about meteorological events in the recent past - putting his success down to his sunspottracking.

Taylor was the only person to correctly predict the massive weather event that hit Townsville last week which saw the north-east coast hit with 600m of rain on 28 February.

Healso predicted that this week a 'decent cyclone' will cross the Queensland coast between Cairns and Gladstone, backing his assertion up by pointing toother forecasters who are saying the same thing.

bloke：俚语，家伙

backup: 此处解释为“support”
