FREEZING COLD OUTSIDE

(Wind noises)
laurance--Brrrr!I'm cold.I thought it was supposed
          to get warmer today.
soony--Yeah,I thought so,too.That's what the
       weatherman said.
laurance--It must be the wind that makes it so cold.
          I'm freezing!
soony--Me,too.Let's go inside.
laurance--O.K,It's no fun standing¹ out here,even if
          the sun is shining.

注解：
1）get warmer=become warmer.系表结构，但口语中多用get，很少用become.
2）yeah：（口语） =yes
3）That's what the weatherman said. what引导的是表语从句。
4）It must be...cold.这是以it引导的强调句型。与It is this
book that I bought yesterday是同样的结构。must用以表示某种
“可能性”。这种结构中的that不可省略，也不可换作which.
5）It's no fun standing out here. standing out here是真正的主语。

1 standing   

n.持续，地位；adj.永久的，不动的，直立的，不流动的

参考例句：

• After the earthquake only a few houses were left standing.地震过后只有几幢房屋还立着。
• They're standing out against any change in the law.他们坚决反对对法律做任何修改。
