用法筆記

Sirocco is often treated as a mass noun but can be countable. It most commonly appears with the definite article when referring to the wind as a recurring climatic event ('The sirocco blows in spring and autumn').

常見錯誤

A hot sirocco wind is blowing from the Sahara.
A hot sirocco is blowing from the Sahara.
'sirocco' already means 'wind', so adding 'wind' is redundant.
