Whereas the region's native evergreen pines shade the snow and absorb radiation, birches would shed their leaves in winter, thus enabling radiation to be reflected by the snow.

然而那个地区当地的常绿松树可以为雪遮阴，吸收辐射，而白桦树在冬天则会落叶，从而使辐射被雪反射。

Streets are narrow so buildings shade each other, and the walls and roofs of buildings will do their bit to shed heat too.

城中街道不宽，这样街上的建筑互相遮阴，而且房屋的墙和房顶都各自发挥散热作用。

When it was hot we used to stand by the pond in the shade of the trees, and when it was cold we had a warm shed near the grove4.

当天气炎热时，我们习惯站在池塘旁边的树荫下，天气寒冷时，则待在邻近树丛的棚子里取暖。
