“湿的”常见的英文表达是 wet ,读音:英 [wet];美 [wet] 。例如:
The ground was wet after the rain.(雨后地面是湿的。)
Her hair was still wet from the shower.(她刚洗完澡,头发还是湿的。)
此外, damp 也有“潮湿的;微湿的”意思,读音:英 [dæmp];美 [dæmp] ,不过“damp”所表达的“湿”程度通常比“wet”稍轻一些,还带有一种“潮湿得让人感觉不太舒服”的意味。例如:
The basement has a damp smell.(地下室有股潮湿的气味。)
Keep the firewood in a dry place, not in a damp corner.(把木柴放在干燥的地方,别放在潮湿的角落。)
