If the weather is foggy, it is more difficult to see than if it is misty.冷天时多雾尤用misty和foggy,热天时多雾常用hazy。与misty相比,foggy表示的能见度更差。■overcastˌəʊvəˈkɑːst; NAmEˌoʊvərˈkæst(of the sky or weather) without bright sunshine; full of clouds(天空或天气)多云的,昏暗的,阴沉的◆The sky was overcast and we needed to use artificial light.天色昏暗,我们需要用人工照明。■dull (sometimesdisapproving, especiallywritten) (of the sky or weather) without bright sunshine; full of clouds(天空或天气)多云的,昏暗的,阴沉的◆The town seemed deserted in the dull afternoon light.在下午暗淡的光线下这座城镇看上去有些荒凉。OPPbright ⇨ brightNOTE辨析 Cloudy, grey, overcast or dull?Grey, overcast and dull all suggest that the whole sky is covered with clouds, so that you cannot see the blue sky behind. If it is cloudy, there may be a lot of clouds while the rest of the sky is blue. Grey and dull often suggest that the speaker is unhappy about the weather. Overcast is a more neutral word for describing the sky when none of it is blue. Dull is less frequent than the other words, used especially in literary or descriptive writing. * grey、overcast和 dull均指天空阴云密布,看不到蓝天。cloudy指天上有很多云,不过仍可看到蓝天。grey和dull常意味着说话者对天气感到不快。overcast是一个较中性的词,描述天空看不到蓝天的状况。dull不如其他词常用,尤用于文学或描写文体。■murkyˈmɜːki; NAmEˈmɜːrki (oftendisapproving) (of air, the sky or light) dark and unpleasant, especially because of smoke or fog; difficult to see through(尤指因烟或雾使空气、天空或光线)昏暗的,阴暗的;难以看清的◆The light was murky and it was difficult to see ahead.光线昏暗,很难看清前面。
