The Climates of the United States
The United States has many different kinds of climate (气候). On the west coast the temperature changes very little between summer and winter. But the north central states have a very different kind of climate. In those states, people wear light clothing during the summer, and they need heavy wool or fur clothing in the winter.
In the southwest, the climate is pleasantly warm during the winter, but the summer is unpleasantly hot.
In the eastern part of the United States,summer temperatures are very different from winter temperatures.Summers are usually hot,and winters are usually cold.Spring temperatures are comfortably warm, and fall temperatures are pleasantly cool.
Years ago, people in the cold parts of the United States didn't often get fresh vegetables and fresh fruits (新鲜水果) during the winter. Today, however, trucks and trains carry fruits and vegetables very quickly to all parts of the United States. In this way, Americans "send their climates" to people in other states.

美国的气候
美国的气候多种多样，西部海岸的温度在冬夏间变化甚小。但中北部各州的气候完全是另一种样子。这里的人们夏季穿着十分轻便，而在冬季则要穿上厚重的羊毛或裘皮服装。
西南部的气候冬天和暖适宜，但夏天却酷热难耐。
美国东部的气温夏冬相差非常大，夏天通常很热，冬天则很冷。春天温暖宜人，秋天凉爽泌心。
以前，住在寒冷地区的人冬天吃不到新鲜蔬菜和水果，不过，现在，卡车、火车将果蔬运往美国全国各地，这样呢，美国人也就将“他们的气候”送给住在别州的同胞们。
