There are many interesting expressions that relate to unbearably hot weather and offer a glimpse into foreign culture. Dog days of summer In books and newspaper articles, the period from early July to mid－ August is often referred to as the “dog days of summer”. Some think the expression means the weather is so hot that dogs go wild. But in fact, the expression es from 16th century astrology and refers to the days on which Sirius — the Dog Star, the brightest star in the summer sky and part of the Great Dog constellation — rises at the same time as the sun. Hotter than a two－ dollar pistol The reason for the expression is that no pistol could cost 2 dollars unless it had been stolen. In slang English, stolen goods are often said to be “ hot” and anyone in possession of hot goods is likely to get their fingers burned, in other words, to be arrested. So hot you can fry an egg on the sidewalk Thousands of curious tourists feel like testing if the saying is true, with the result that sidewalks in Death Valley, California — the hottest place in the US — are now littered with broken eggshells. As long as you use a frying pan with a lid and the temperature is at least 49℃ ， it is actually possible to fry an egg on the sidewalk. Hinges of Hades For those who believe it exists, hell is undoubtedly the hottest place on earth, so unsurprisingly there are several expressions that refer to hell (Hades), or even the devil himself. “ Hotter than the hinges (gates) of Hades” is the oldest version, but more amusing variations have bee popular, such as “ hotter than the devil39。 (C)22.
