英語寫作素材：關(guān)于“強降雨”

　　Fifty-three people have died in accidents triggered by torrential rains over the past week in China， while another 28 were missing and 4，000 were stranded by floods.

　　上周的強降雨已經(jīng)導(dǎo)致53人死亡，另有28人失蹤，4000人被困受洪災(zāi)影響。

　　The State Flood Control and Drought Relief Headquarters issued a warning urging provinces to keep a close watch on the changing weather and act to avert possible danger.

　　國家防汛抗旱總指揮部發(fā)出預(yù)警，要求各省密切關(guān)注天氣變化并采取行動避免潛在危險的發(fā)生。

　　上述報道中，torrential rain就是“強降雨”，torrential的意思是resembling a torrent in force and abundance(如急流的，猛烈的)，常用來形容降雨的強度;另外一個與之相關(guān)的常見表達是torrential wash(大雨、急流沖刷)，例如：Heavy rainfall and torrential wash cleaned the whole city thoroughly. (強降雨和大量的雨水沖刷徹底清潔了這座城市。)

　　另外，這里有一個機構(gòu)名稱需要提出來說一下，The State Flood Control and Drought Relief Headquarters是“國家防汛抗旱總指揮部”，也就是我們所簡稱的“防總”。
