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。
