关于夏天的英文句子 简短表达，学起来

三伏天。我们总是说文化是有相通性的，正巧，在英语中，就有一个词组是专门被用来表达七、八月份这段最热的天气。那就是dog days。（可不是“狗日子”哦~）

古罗马人认为每年七八月份的酷热是太阳加上天狼星的热能造成的，加之天狼星在英语里叫“the dog star”，“dog days”由此而来。比如说：

I can do nothing except for swimming in the dog days.
在三伏天里，除了游泳，我什么事也做不成。

high summer

盛夏/仲夏，也可以指鼎盛时期，全盛时期

He likes swimming in high summer.

in the height of summer

I wouldn't go there in the height of summer.
我不会在盛夏时节去那里的。
