sleet是一个雅思常考词汇，这个词的常用解释为n. 雨加雪，这个词在很多英文原版小说中怎么应用呢，今天小编就带您了解一下。
在查尔斯·狄更斯的《远大前程》里，有这样的句子出现：
-- A bitter sleet came rattling against us here on the east wind, and Joe took me on his back.
在赫尔曼·梅尔维尔的《白鲸》里，有这样的句子出现：
-- The sky had changed from clear, sunny cold, to driving sleet and mist.
-- Shaking off the sleet from my ice-glazed hat and jacket, I seated myself near the door, and turning sideways was surprised to see Queequeg near me.
-- When Captain Sleet in person stood his mast-head in this crow's-nest of his, he tells us that he always had a rifle with him (also fixed in the rack), together with a powder flask and shot, for the purpose of popping off the stray narwhales, or vagrant sea unicorns infesting those waters; for you cannot successfully shoot at them from the deck owing to the resistance of the water, but to shoot down upon them is a very different thing.
-- Now, it was plainly a labor of love for Captain Sleet to describe, as he does, all the little detailed conveniences of his crow's-nest; but though he so enlarges upon many of these, and though he treats us to a very scientific account of his experiments in this crow's-nest, with a small compass he kept there for the purpose of counteracting the errors resulting from what is called the "local attraction" of all binnacle magnets; an error ascribable to the horizontal vicinity of the iron in the ship's planks, and in the Glacier's case, perhaps, to there having been so many broken-down blacksmiths among her crew; I say, that though the Captain is very discreet and scientific here, yet, for all his learned "binnacle deviations," "azimuth compass observations," and "approximate errors," he knows very well, Captain Sleet, that he was not so much immersed in those profound magnetic meditations, as to fail being attracted occasionally towards that well replenished little case-bottle, so nicely tucked in on one side of his crow's nest, within easy reach of his hand.
-- But if we Southern whale-fishers are not so snugly housed aloft as Captain Sleet and his Greenlandmen were; yet that disadvantage is greatly counter-balanced by the widely contrasting serenity of those seductive seas in which we South fishers mostly float.
在查尔斯·狄更斯的《大卫科波菲尔》里，有这样的句子出现：
-- One day, Traddles (who had justcome home through the drizzling sleet from Court) took a paperout of his desk, and asked me what I thought of that handwriting?
在西奥多·德莱塞的《嘉莉妹妹》里，有这样的句子出现：
-- In the drive of the wind and sleet they pushed in on one another.
