Everyday Sounds 形容日常聲音
I find it difficult to describe everyday sounds in English. Maybe you could introduce some vocabulary? Thanks.

There are all sorts of sounds around us, and we sometimes need to describe those sounds in writing or conversations.
It's not too difficult to describe sounds in Chinese but how about in English?
Look at the following Chinese descriptions and see whether you know how to say them in English:
震耳欲聾的機(jī)器聲
呼嘯而過(guò)的飛機(jī)聲
尖銳刺耳的喇叭聲
歇斯底里的狂笑聲
In this programme you will hear lots of everyday sounds as you are listening to a radio drama. We'll also provide you with a description of those sounds.
If you have a question you would like to ask our team, email us at questions.chinaelt@bbc.co.uk.
We might make a programme about your question.
