A
The English language is full of phrases about the weather. Some of these phrases are easy to understand, but others are not really about the weather at all. If yosay yo“ hit rough weather”, yomay not be stuck by a real storm, but yodo experiencedifficulties or problems. If yodon’t know what such phrases mean, they might leave yo“in a fog (雾)”!
In English, yocan “shoot the breeze”, or have an imformal chat. But things can also be a breeze. If yotake an exam and find it very easy, you’d tell your friends: “It was a breeze!” The wind can also bring information. Yocan “get wind of ” a piece of news, and if someone “know which way the wind blows”, they have a good idea about how things will work out. But don’t “throw caution to the wind”—that means taking a great risk!
Clouds sometimes bring rain, and in English they often represent problems or difficulties. If someone “sees a cloud on the horizon(地平线)”, there may be problems ahead. And if someone is “under a cloud”, then people think the person might have done something wrong. But clouds are not always bad: in fact, people say that “every cloud has a silver lining”. This means that there is a good side to every situation, no matter how bad it may seem. Yomay even end up “on cloud nine”, which means yoare very happy! But some people have their “heads in the clouds”, not paying attention to reality.
No one likes to be stuck in the rain or storm, so it’s no surprise that phrases about them are generally negative. When someone says “it never rains but it pours”, they are complaining (抱怨) that when things go wrong, they go very wrong. People who talk about “ weathering a storm” just want to get through a difficult period or situation.
