小知识
If there’s a gale coming your way, you better hold onto your new hat and your little dog, Toto, too, because this is an extremely strong wind.
The word gale possibly originates from the Old Norse word galinn, which means “mad”, “frantic,” or “bewitched.” Weather forecasters sometimes use the term “gale-force winds” to describe conditions that aren’t quite as extreme as hurricanes or tropical storms, but probably fierce enough to snap your kite in half. Gale can also refer to other kinds of strong outbursts. For example, if someone erupts into gales of laughter, it means her friend probably said something very funny.

词语辨析
gale，blast，breeze，wind。
这组词都有“风”的意思。它们的区别在于：1.wind是一个笼统的词，是泛指由于空气的自然流动而产生的风，风速可快可慢，风力可大可小，可以指强劲的，也可以指柔和的；blast是一股强劲的气流，不一定是自然产生的，风速较大，强劲而突然，指“狂风”或“暴风”；breeze指“轻风”“微风”“温和的微风”；gale指7级到11级的烈风、强风。例如：The dentist gave my tooth a blast to dry the filling.牙医朝我的牙吹风使补牙材料干结。A gust of wind billowed the sleeves and skirts of women's dresses.一股劲风把妇女们的衣袖和裙子吹得像波浪一样翻动。The banner fluttered in the breeze.旗帜在微风中飘扬。We got our roof blown off in the gale last night.昨夜的大风把我们的房顶给掀掉了。2.用spring breeze指“春风”比用wind更为确切。例如：The soft spring breeze caressed my face and I felt refreshed.柔和的春风吹拂着我的脸，使我觉得神清气爽。
