喜樂美語
  1. 1aB2/ˈbɔɪlɪŋ/熱死了；超熱

    口語Very hot. People say this in everyday speech about the weather, about a room, or about how hot they themselves feel — it means the heat is far more than they want, not that anything is really boiling.

    示範例句 · Example

    Can we open a window? It's boiling in here.

    逐字我們可以打開一扇窗嗎？這裡面熱到滾起來了。

    boiling 的畫面可以想成「水滾到冒泡」，講話的時候人們把這個畫面丟給天氣、房間，或自己身上，用來說「熱到受不了」。它比 hot 強很多，而且幾乎只出現在口語裡，通常還帶著一點抱怨或誇張的語氣（It's boiling in here!）；寫正式的報告會改用 extremely hot。主詞可以是地方、天氣，也可以是人：I'm boiling 就是「我快熱死了」。

core核心畫面

Think of water rolling and bubbling in a pot, and then that temperature borrowed and laid over something that is nowhere near it — a street in August, a crowded bus, your own face. The word is not measuring heat; it is reporting that the heat has gone well past what the speaker wants.

可以想成鍋裡的水正在翻滾冒泡的那個溫度，被整個借過來蓋在完全不到那麼燙的東西上——八月的街、擠滿人的公車、自己的臉。這個字不是在量溫度，而是在說「熱得超過我能忍的範圍了」。
