英语里有不少习语与天气有关,风雨雷电在习语中变幻出不同的含义。今天就一起来看看有关天气的几个习语用法吧!
1. The news came to us like a bolt from the blue.
这个消息传来,犹如晴天霹雳。
bolt from the blue中bolt指的是闪电,天空中的一道闪电比喻某件事或消息特别突然,让人没有任何准备。
2. They got wind of our plans for a party.
他们觉察到我们要开个派对。
get wind of something 表示听说了某件比较秘密的事情,中文里我们也会说风闻,听到某些风声,就是这个意思。
3. The couple next door are always quarrelling but it is usually a storm in a teacup.
隔壁的夫妇经常吵架,但多数是小题大做。
a storm in a teacup 字面上的意思是茶杯中的风暴,顾名思义,这样的风暴自然不会有多严重。因此这个习语就用来比喻小题大做,大惊小怪。
4. He burst into the room with a face like thunder.
他一脸怒气地闯进屋子里。
Thunder大家都知道是雷的意思。英文中说,somebodys face is like thunder 或者 somebody has a face like thunder,就是指这个人看上去很生气,怒气冲冲。
5. He was on cloud nine after winning the marathon.
他赢了马拉松比赛之后,兴奋极了。
cloud nine让人有种九霄云外的感觉, 英文里说on cloud nine表示一个人情绪高涨,高兴得不得了。
6. Im afraid I cant today. Can I take a rain check?
不好意思我今天不行,能改天吗?
遇到邀请,你又碰巧没有时间,就可以用上这句Can I take a rain check? 表示改天吧。 Rain check来源于棒球运动。由于下雨,比赛中断,观众可以换取一张rain check,等天气好了观看另一场比赛。
