Over these days, the weather is terribly hard. Sticky cloth, wet hair are hard to be put up with in such a big sun by us. I think we really should dip our body to the iced water to have a heat off, shall we? Today's class, I am going to promote the word of scorching. Scorching gives the image of discoloration because of heat. Simply, the scorching sun blackens the surface of the skin. If you tell people you feel hot, which presents a image of sweating but maybe not get discolored skin. Please check the picture.1 below. Here, let me point out the key that scorching hot and hot are in the different extents. Scorching hot usually is more intolerable than hot solely.
最近這些日子，天氣實在有夠熱，黏黏的衣服，充滿汗水的頭髮實在讓人難以忍受，我想我們真的該把身體放入冰水中避避暑，是吧?今天帶來的單字是scorching，這個字是熱讓物體本身顏色發生改變，簡單來說，火熱的太陽，使我們皮膚都曬黑了，皮膚顏色呈棕黑色，若你只使用hot這個字的話，給人感覺就是熱，但並沒有那麼強烈，可以參考圖.1，讓我點出關鍵地方，scorching hot 和hot有程度不同的差別，程度上scorching hot 要強的多

While the scorch is as a verb, we points out the move. For example, there is a girl in the picture.2 ironing her beautiful cloth. Due to her napping during the ironing, the iron lingers around the particular place for too long. Finally, it leaves a scorched mark on it. In the short story here, the cloth is discolored because of heat and the cloth just gets burn superficially instead of the whole cloth burn down.
當scorch出現時通常指的是一個行為或動作，舉例來說，有一個小女孩(參考圖.2)正在燙衣服，因為在過程中的打盹，讓熨斗停留在一個地間過長了，所以在衣服表面上留下一個痕跡，因為過熱而造成表面的灼傷，若事件為衣服整件燒掉則不能使用scorch，需使用burn down

In many people's house, we do worship as a respect to the God or commemorate the ancient people. We might get some holy stuff in our hand. Then bow for few times, the religious ritual is finished. In the last step, we stand the things in our hand to the holy container, censer. However, the ritual is finished, the holly things are still burning. The heat mixed with smoke goes up against the ceiling time after time. The discolored ceiling is formed. You want to get rid of that and I think you need to repaint. In the case of it, the heat with smoke scorches the ceiling! Check the citing picture.3.
在很多人家中，我們都有在拜拜，這是對神明的尊重，和祖先的緬懷，我們必須手拿香，然後鞠躬，在這儀式完成後，將香插入爐中，此時香仍續燃燒，燃燒的香和煙往天花板上衝，久而久之，而留下一個很難去除的部分，此種因為熱氣上衝而使天花板顏色改變，我們也可以使用scorch，例句請參考文中，參考圖.3

In the south of Taiwan, we have the big plain over there. The scorching sun scorches the plain in the intolerable summer time. It delivers the idea of burning heat which deters you from being out, if you are out you must be charred within a short time or have the discoloration on the skin, the shared picture.4 . That is the reason the solar power can make a first step in this area. I am so looking forward to it!
在南臺灣，我們有大片的平原，夏暑時期，灼熱的太陽照射在整片平原上，實在讓人很難忍受，這個idea告訴我們灼熱的天氣，還是在家的好，若出門了，可能會曬黑，參考圖.4，這也是南台灣發展太陽能的第一步，讓我們來期待吧!

In a big sun day, the scorched plant becomes lifeless. The leaves turn into the color of brown. The declining life is attributed to the uncaring sun which provides the sweltering heat. Check with shown picture.5.

With conclusion, the scorching hot is stronger than hot. It feels like burning just on the surface and it will cause the color changed because of the heat. I believe your life must be changed because the conversation will be full of scorching after your memorable visit! English is not absolute if you feel today is scorching hot but your friend teases you for making much of it. It doesn't matter~you just tell people how you feel~That's English!
來個總結，scorching hot 在形容熱的程度上比hot要來的強很多，就好像被燒的那種灼熱感，且會造成顏色變化因為過熱。我相信從今天後你的對話裡會有很多scorch相關的字，因為你了解了!英文不是絕對的，你覺得今天scorching hot ，但你朋友說你太誇張，那也無所謂，你只是告訴別人你的感覺而已~這就是英文!
