Snowstorms in China's northernmost province of Heilongjiang have grounded more than 100 flights and forced expressways and schools to be closed, local authorities said.当地政府表示,黑龙江省暴雪已导致100多个航班取消,高速路和学校也被迫关闭。
【单词讲解】
这里的ground用作动词,表示“使...停留在地面(港口)不能移动”,多用于轮船、飞机等运输设备,所以上面这句话我们也可以说more than 100 flights were grounded because of the snowstorm。另外,经常看美剧的同学应该能注意到,ground有时候也用来表示家长对做错事的孩子进行惩罚,不让他们出去玩,就是“禁足”,比如:My parents grounded me for a week(我爸妈让我禁足一个星期)或I am grounded for a week(我被禁足一个星期)。
Snowfall of up to 25.8 mm was recorded in cities including Harbin and Mudanjiang, bringing a blanket of snow 17 cm deep in some places, according to the province's meteorological center.

The National Meteorological Center said snow will continue to lower temperatures by 8 to 10 degrees, but will taper off from Friday through Sunday.

【单词讲解】
这里的taper off是一个固定搭配的短语,表示“逐渐减少、变小”等意思,比如:Her voice tapered off as she realized everyone was listening.(当她意识到大家都在听时,她的声音就越来越小了)。Taper作为动词,本身也表示“逐渐变小、变细、变窄”等意思,比如:The cave tapered to a narrow passageway.(那个洞穴慢慢变成了一条窄窄的通道)。
