人们在春天一般做什么?

 

In spring, people are usually crazy about going out for a picnic and soaking up the beautiful sunshine. Sometimes people go hiking during the weekend to enjoy the picturesque spring view.

在春天的时候,人们总是热衷于外出野炊,去享受美妙的阳光。有时人们会在周末徒步旅行,享受活泼如画的春季美景。

6、What are the differences in life style between people in the south and those in the north?南方人和北方人在生活方式上有什么不同?

Between...and...（在......和.....之间）

 

Because of great differences in climate, people in the north lead a quite different life from those in the south. The southern enjoy nightlife, for example, for it's too hot to go out during the day. And they don't live in a house facing south, which is, on the contrary, the first priority of the northern because in the north sunshine is too limited during winter. Winter in the south is generally cold and damp, so soup becomes a necessary part of their daily diet.

因为气候上极大的不同,北方人与南方人过着非常不一样的生活。比如南方人喜欢夜生活,是因为白天出去太热了。而且他们不喜欢住在朝南的房子,这与北方人首先考虑的正相反,因为在北方冬季阳光太有限了。南方的冬季通常寒冷潮湿,因此汤成为了他们日常饮食必需的一部分。
