雲彩英文說法大全
Knowledge of the natural world (including clouds) should be part of everyone’s general understanding. Clouds should be viewed as an easy introduction to a vast range of fascinating phenomena.
自然世界的知識(包括雲)應該作爲大衆常識的一部分。雲可以被視爲有趣自然現象中一個簡單的介紹。
So here is a list of those ten clouds, arranged conventionally in three height levels with the highest first in the list. It is, however, easiest to learn them from the bottom up. (Start with cumulus, the ‘cotton-wool’ fluffy, ‘fair-weather’ clouds.)
因此這裏列出了十種雲，按雲層的高度從高到低排列。然而，從下往上地學習這些詞彙可能是最簡單的方法。（由cumulus堆積雲開始--一種蓬鬆的、在好天氣纔可以見到的雲彩）
Ten clouds 十種雲朵~
cirrus: thin wisps of ice-crystal cloud at high altitudes
捲雲：高海拔地區的薄層的冰晶雲。
cirrostratus: a high-altitude, thin layer of ice-crystal cloud, formed from the spreading out of cirrus. Often shows some fibrous structure.
卷層雲：高空、薄層的水晶雲，由捲雲的擴散形成。通常展示出了一些纖維結構。
cirrocumulus: a high-altitude layer of tiny heaps of ice-crystal cloud with no shading and clear gaps between the cloudlets.
卷積雲：高空的小堆的冰晶雲，雲朵之間沒有陰影和明顯的縫隙。
altostratus: a middle-altitude layer of essentially featureless, white or grey cloud.
高層雲：中層本質上毫無特色，是白色或灰色的雲。
altocumulus: a middle altitude layer of moderate-sized heaps of cloud, with distinct shading and clear gaps between the cloudlets.
高積雲：中層雲，中等程度堆狀雲，雲朵之間有明顯的陰影和縫隙。
nimbostratus: a dense layer of cloud at middle levels, often extending down close to the surface. Often with a ragged base, and always producing prolonged rain.
雨層雲：密集的中層雲，密度均勻。雲底較亂，通常呈現不規則形，通常產生長時間的降雨。
stratocumulus: a widespread layer of heaps or rolls of cloud at a low level, with distinct gaps and heavy shading.
層積雲：堆狀或卷狀的低層雲，有明顯的縫隙和較重的陰影。
stratus: an essentially featureless, grey layer of cloud at low level. At ground level, it is mist or fog.
層雲：這種雲本質上毫無特色，灰色的低層雲。在地平面時，它是薄霧或濃霧狀。
cumulus: the most familiar cloud. Rounded heaps of white cloud at low levels, generally an indication of currently fine weather.
積雲：最常見的雲。白色的圓堆狀低層雲，一般是好天氣的預兆。
cumulonimbus: the giant among clouds, that may tower through all three levels, sometimes with a flattened top . The shower cloud with dark, ragged base and heavy, localized rain, hail, or other severe weather.
積雨雲：雲體龐大，呈塔狀，雲體有時可以跨越三個雲層，頂部也可呈扁平狀。這種陣雨雲的底部陰暗不規則，常帶來大型降雨，局部降雨，冰雹或者其他惡劣的天氣狀況。
