英文原版对话1000个:756 Changing Weather

（单词翻译）

Jeff: So you do winter camping and the place you live, do you get a lot of snow there?

Tim: We get quite a bit of snow but it's mostly just up in the mountains.

Jeff: So, lately there's been a lot of talk about global warming. So where you live, do you find that you can see the affects global warming, say with less snow?

Tim: I think you can. I think there's been less snow. That is not quite a noticeable¹ as the glaciers² that are on the mountains have gotten smaller and smaller, so I think there has been less snow although it's not real noticeable cause ski resorts³ are still open and there's still snow out there but to snow shoe but every summer the glaciers seem to be getting smaller and smaller.

Jeff: So you are about - what - 35 now?

Tim: Ah, younger than that actually.

Jeff: Really. So in your thirties, but when you were a boy, when you were young like 5 or 6 and you were playing in the snow, was there more snow back then?

Tim: I think there probably was. One thing is - I told you the snow is in the mountain - and there used to be a lot more snow in the valley where I live and I can't remember the last time we got snow in the valley.

Jeff: Really! So global warming, you think may be is getting worse?

Tim: I would say so. I think one of the biggest affects is we seem to be getting more rain actually. The weather patterns have switched a little bit and it seems like it's been dumping⁴ rain. There's been more flooding, so we're actually getting more rain and less snow.

Jeff: Oh, really. OK. Interesting.
