　　国家气象局中心表示，一股强冷空气将横扫中国东北部和南方沿海地区，温度下降多达14度，达到近三十年最低温度。

　　The northern part of the Inner Mongolia autonomous region, which was hit first by the front, saw temperatures dropping to-40 C.

　　冷锋首先到达的地区内蒙古自治区温度骤降至零下40摄氏度。

　　The front will continue to move south until Monday, affecting Guangdong province and bringing temperatures of-10 C to regions along the Yangtze River’s middle and lower reaches.

　　冷锋将继续向南移动，到周一已经影响至影响广东省，使沿长江中下游地区温度达到零下10度。

　　China’s northern region will see temperatures rise next Monday, followed by warming in southern regions from Jan 29, Zhang said.
