1.climate
climate是气候的意思。weather也是天气的意思,
weather 意为“天气”,为不可数名词,不能在前面加不定冠词,如我们只能说in such fine weather , 而不能说in such a fine weather。如:
The weather has changed. 天气变了。
Notice:weather前虽不可加不定冠词,但在表示“各种各样的天气”,或“不论哪种天气”时,weather用复数。如:
She goes out in all weathers.
weather 指某特定地区在一定时间的气象情况。
climate 指一般比较长的时间,如一季的天气状况。
A drier climate would be good for her health.气候干燥的地区会对她的健康有益。
