今天怎么这么冷啊？我都冻得发抖了。
jīntiān zěnme zhème lěng a？wǒ dōu dòng de fādǒu le。
Why is it so cold today? I'm shivering.
W
是啊，昨晚突然降温，一下子降了十度。
shì a，zuówǎn tūrán jiàngwēn，yíxiàzi jiàng le shí dù。
Yeah, the temperature suddenly dropped last night—it fell ten degrees all at once.
L
怪不得我早上出门的时候觉得特别冷。
guàibude wǒ zǎoshang chūmén de shíhou juéde tèbié lěng。
No wonder I felt especially cold when I left home this morning.
W
你穿得太少了吧？这种天气得多穿一件外套。
nǐ chuān de tài shǎo le ba？zhè zhǒng tiānqì děi duō chuān yí jiàn wàitào。
You're dressed too lightly, aren't you? In this kind of weather you should put on an extra coat.

谁知道呢，昨天还二十多度，我以为不会降温这么快。
shéi zhīdào ne，zuótiān hái èrshí duō dù，wǒ yǐwéi búhuì jiàngwēn zhème kuài。
Who knew—yesterday it was still over twenty degrees. I didn't think it would cool down so fast.
W
天气预报说这几天都很冷，还可能会下雨呢。
tiānqì yùbào shuō zhè jǐ tiān dōu hěn lěng，hái kěnéng huì xiàyǔ ne。
The weather forecast says it'll be cold these next few days, and it might even rain.
L
真糟糕，我没带伞，要是下雨我就惨了。
zhēn zāogāo，wǒ méi dài sǎn，yàoshì xiàyǔ wǒ jiù cǎn le。
That's terrible—I didn't bring an umbrella. If it rains, I'm in trouble.
W
别担心，我包里有把折叠伞，可以借给你。
bié dānxīn，wǒ bāo lǐ yǒu bǎ zhédié sǎn，kěyǐ jiè gěi nǐ。
Don't worry, I've got a folding umbrella in my bag—I can lend it to you.
L
那太好了，谢谢你！你想得真周到。
nà tài hǎo le，xièxie nǐ！nǐ xiǎng de zhēn zhōudào。
That's great, thank you! You really think of everything.
W
不客气。对了，公交车怎么还没来？我们都等了快十分钟了。
bú kèqi。duì le，gōngjiāochē zěnme hái méi lái？wǒmen dōu děng le kuài shí fēnzhōng le。
You're welcome. By the way, why hasn't the bus come yet? We've been waiting almost ten minutes.
L
可能天太冷，路上堵车吧。再等一会儿看看。
kěnéng tiān tài lěng，lù shàng dǔchē ba。zài děng yíhuìr kànkan。
Maybe it's because it's too cold and the roads are jammed. Let's wait a bit longer and see.
W
好吧。下次降温之前，我们真得多穿点，别再冻着了。
hǎo ba。xiàcì jiàngwēn zhīqián，wǒmen zhēn děi duō chuān diǎn，bié zài dòngzháo le。
Alright. Next time before it gets cold, we really should dress warmer so we don't freeze again.
