1.Scenery
哪些單詞有風(fēng)景的意思呢？
spectacle、view、sight、vision和 scenery 都可以表示風(fēng)景，但意義有點(diǎn)區(qū)別。
表達(dá)風(fēng)景，最直接和常用的一個(gè)詞是scenery，和它很像的一個(gè)詞是scene，但是scene一般指事件發(fā)生的場景，如果要表達(dá)風(fēng)景還是用scenery.
The scenery is really? beautiful.
（那里的風(fēng)景真美）
2.Spectacle 壯觀的風(fēng)景
A magnificent spectacle spread itself out before the eyes of the travelers.
（一幅壯觀的畫面在旅行者眼前鋪展開來）
3.View 景色 一般指從一個(gè)特點(diǎn)的視點(diǎn)看到的景象
There 's a fine view of the lake from our hotel window.
（從我們旅館窗戶能看到湖的美麗風(fēng)光）
4.Sight 景色、景象
We'd toured the sights of Paris.
(我們游覽了巴黎的風(fēng)景名勝）
5.Landscape 風(fēng)景、風(fēng)光
We indulged? in the beauty of the landscape .
我們陶醉在美景中
說完景色，再看優(yōu)美景色怎么形容。
關(guān)于優(yōu)美的形容詞實(shí)在太多了，比如gorgeous，breathtaking，stunning，striking，ravishing，terrific，dishy，exquisite，exuberant等等，不下百余個(gè)。當(dāng)然使用時(shí)得多注意文體。
下面我們主要看幾個(gè)特別好的，都可用于口語中：
picture-postcard：
風(fēng)景如畫
postcard是明信片。
印在明信片上的風(fēng)景通常都非常漂亮，令人向往。
這里，就用picture-postcard來表示 “如畫的”美景。
out of this world：
人間仙境
out of this world形容景色等美得不屬于現(xiàn)實(shí)世界一樣。
unspoiled：
純天然未開發(fā)破壞的
an unspoiled place has not been changed in ways that make it less beautiful or enjoyable
pretty：
挺漂亮的，注意與beautiful的區(qū)別
a pretty place, building, or object is attractive, especially in a delicate way, but not really beautiful or impressive
panoramic：
全景的，盡收眼底d
a panoramic view allows you to see a large area of landor sea around you
favoured：
歡喜的
a favoured place has qualities that make it attractive
uninterrupted：
一覽無余的
not hidden by anything, so that you can see a long way
take my breath away：
美得令人窒息
to take one's breath away通常指被美麗的事物或人震撼到了。美得令人透不過氣來。
awe-inspiring令人嘆為觀止：
awe-inspiring的意思是“令人產(chǎn)生敬畏之心的，令人贊嘆的”，
可以用來形容給人留下深刻印象的事物。
也可以說swestricken：
how awestricken you were witnessing this out-of-the-world scenery
當(dāng)然形容具體某種景色美的就更多了：
比如形容日出日落Sunrise/Sunset，就可以說這么多:
- The sun rays glint brightly in the clear waters.
- The sunset was glorious, all rosy and salmon-pink.
- The sun-lit sky and sea blend perfectly into each other.
- The awe-inspiring sun danced in from the horizon.
- Dews on the blades of grass sparkled in the sunlight.
- The high sunlit clouds drifted across a clear blue sky.
- A torch of fire started to light up the darkness around us.
- Basking in the golden rays, I hope to have a flattering tan.
- The unending bright sky was glorious luminous blue and pink.
- The sky was overwhelmed by crimson and amber-tinted clouds.
- The sun filtered through the clouds, signaling the end of the rain.
- It was a blindingly hot day and the humidity in the air was stifling.
- The whole landscape was bathed in the warm glow of the rising
sun.
- Palm trees swayed to the gentle breeze in the warm tropical
sunshine.
- The sun and the moon were visible in the clear blue early morning
sky.
- The sun shone brilliantly and the water in the pond glittered
invitingly.
- Windows threw wide in the hope of tempting in a non-existent
breeze.
- A golden glow spread across the sky as the sun chased the dark
clouds away.
- As the sun set, the few thin strips of clouds on the horizon turned
shimmering gold.
- It was a lovely walk, with the sun setting behind the mountain in a
sea of liquid gold.
- From freezing night, it turned to scorching day as the sun climbed
towards its zenith.

最后我們來看雅思口語的一道題目及參考答案：
Describe the most beautiful natural scenery you have ever seen.
Reference answer：
When? I was a university student, I went to a village which was the living place of my best friend's grandfather's house. It was in a remote area and the natural scenery I saw there was the most beautiful natural scenery I have ever seen. It was in (...say the name of a place...) and the small river, the hill, the green fields and the blue sky made a combination that I felt something out of the world. I saw it in one autumn evening when I went to explore the surroundings of the village. That was an awe-inspiring scenery that I will never forget. I saw this scenic beauty in 2011 and it was mid-autumn season then.
My friend, I and one of my friend's cousin were present at that time and I heard from my friend that his village was a very beautiful place. I could not believe how much beautiful it was until I saw it with my own eyes.
We left for the river in the evening and I was amazed to notice the hill and the sloping road track beside it. The river was flowing gently and the vast paddy fields were all around us. I heard the chattering of the birds in the green trees and the sound was creating a harmony in my ears.
To me, this was a truly amazing feeling to witness a natural scenery that could exist only in our imagination. I have seen many rivers, hills and paddy fields but in my friend's village, they were arranged in such a way which is only possible in an artist's picture. The blue sky seemed very nearer to the horizon and the vast green all around us make me feel like visiting in a fairy land.
