Harsh weather or conditions make living physically difficult; harsh is used especially when these conditions exist all the time in a place or last for a long time. Severe weather may last only a short time, but can cause immediate danger, not just difficulty over a longer period. Hard typically describes a winter (= harsh) or a frost (= making the ground very hard). Bleak describes a time, such as a day or a winter, that makes you feel depressed, whether or not life is physically difficult. * harsh修饰天气或状况时指生活条件艰苦，尤指某地终年或长期生活条件恶劣；severe修饰天气时，不仅指由于天气长期恶劣而不便，也指会在短时间内造成直接危害；hard常描述winter，指严冬，或描述frost，指霜冻。bleak与day或winter等表示一段时期的词搭配，指使人感到情绪低落，与生活条件艰苦与否无关。 |
