1--Didn't you say you were planning a trip to China? I heard the northwest and north of China are experiencing severe sandstorms!
2--I was planning to go to Beijing first and then go to northwest China! Looks like I'm in trouble.
1--Definitely.I heard Beijing was experiencing seven degree strong winds!That is nearly a record high!
2--No way! I don't think I've ever encountered winds that strong!Are the storms affecting land and air transportation?
1--Absolutely! I don't think any planes are going anywhere. The sand being blown around has cut visibility in Beijing to less than 100 meters.But it seems Gansu Province is being hit the hardest.
2--That's exactly where I was planning to go!
1--Well, this storm originated in the plateaus in northwest China. At the moment. that area is calmer.

注解：

1--你不是说打算到中国旅行吗?我听说中国西北部和华北现在都有严重的沙尘暴!
2--我原本打算先去北京，然后再去中国西北地区!看来麻烦大了。
1--一点不错。听说北京正在刮七级大风!几乎创下历史最高纪录!
2--这可不行。我想我还从来没遇到过这么猛烈的大风呢!风暴会影响陆路交通和航空吗?
1--绝对会!我想，飞机肯定飞不了了。沙子刮得到处都是，北京的能见度已降到了不到100米。但甘肃省的风暴似乎是最严重的。
2--我可正打算去那里呢!
1--哦，这场沙尘暴源于中国西北部的高原。目前，这个地区已经平静下来了。
