The On-going Heat Wave in Shanghai
The heat wave continues to broil us in Shanghai.
How hot is it?
A piece of news on social media says that a guy found the glass on his windowsill had cracked because of the temperature.
That is really terrible.
My windowsill is ok, but the plants that I planted on it are all listless. I'm a little afraid that they will not survive this horrible heat.
In terms of daily life, I quit takeaway food for the moment. I worry that the delivery man might get sunstroke on the way to deliver my food.
上海的高温继续在烤。
有多热?
社交媒体上的一则新闻称，一名男子发现窗台上的玻璃热裂了。
太可怕了。
我的窗台还好，但是我种在上面的植物都蔫了。好担心他们熬不过这个热天。
在日常生活方面，我暂时戒了外卖。怕外卖小哥在送餐的路上中暑。

The On-going Heat Wave in Shanghai
in modern English, "ongoing" is OK to use as a single word. It might have been "on-going"in the past, I'm not sure.
The heat wave continues to broil us in Shanghai.
We more often use "boiling" to talk about heat, but this is OK
"We're still boiling in Shanghai, due to the heat wave"
That is really terrible.
可怕的 is more like "scary", but "terrible" usually means more like 糟糕的
(terrifying means 可怕的... terrifying and terrible look very similar, but are used quite differently ;;^^)
My windowsill is ok, but the plants that I planted on it are all listlesswilting/drying out.
"listless" is more like a word that will appear in literature. It means something like "very bored; lacking the energy to do anything" but that doesn't quite work for plants since they don't have emotions.
In terms of daily life, I've quit ordering/buying takeaway food for the moment.
"I've quit" to match the "for the moment" emphasis that this is a recent/temporary thing
Feedback
Hope it cools down soon!
