   梅雨季天天都下雨,英语中也有许多和雨有关的表达,Jenny和Tara带大家学一学雨季英语。


  “梅雨天”英语叫:
  Plum rain season: 梅雨季
  Plum: 梅子
  “大雨小雨”不是big or small
  形容雨大、雨小,千万别用:
  Big rain, small rain ?
  而要用另一组形容词:
  Heavy rain, light rain ?
  还有一个习语:
  Raining cats and dogs:倾盆大雨
  但是这个说法比较老派、过时。
  "大雨"英语怎么说?
  除了比较正式的Heavy rain,口语里这些更常用!
  1)Pour: 倾泻
  Down pour (名词): It’s a down pour. 雨很大!
  Pour (动词): It’s pouring outside. 外面下大雨!
  2)Sheets: 成片的(雨丝都连成片了)倾盆大雨
  The rain is coming down in sheets.
  It's raining in sheets.
  3)Torrential rain: 大暴雨
  Torrential: 猛烈的,汹涌的
  4)Storm: 暴风雨
  这有一些更好记:
  It’s raining non-stop: 雨下个不停
  It’s raining 24/7:同上 (一周7天,一天24小时)
  Crazy + adjective,常用来形容程度很深
  It's crazy rainy: 雨好大
  It's crazy wet: 同上
  用英语形容雨大雨小
  闷热潮湿真难受!
  潮湿黏腻的天气,用这些形容词最恰当不过!
  Gross weather
  Yucky weather
  Icky weather
  都是“恶心,难受”的意思。
  中雨、小雨、毛毛雨
  小雨、毛毛雨,这两个说法最地道:
  Drizzling 1 (动词) : 毛毛雨
  Sprinkling (动词): 少量洒一点
  怎么用?
  It's drizzling/sprinkling outside: 有点小雨、毛毛雨。
  还有shower这个词,除了“冲凉、淋浴”,还有下雨的意思:
  Showers: 中雨
  Light showers: 小雨、中雨之间
  Scattered 2 showers: 阵雨
  各类雨具的英语说法
  各种伞
  Foldable umbrella: 折伞
  Automatic umbrella: 自动伞
  Golf umbrella: 大伞
  各种雨衣
  Rain poncho 3: 雨披
  poncho: 斗篷
  Rain coat: 雨衣(防水衣)
  Water-proof jacket/hoodie: 防水外套
  Hoodie: 连帽衫
  雨靴
  Rain boots: 雨靴
  Gum boots: 橡胶雨靴
  你知道Take a rain check是什么意思吗?
  英语口语里,有两个超级常用的表达,都和rain有关。
  但是不一定要雨天才能用!
  1.Take a rain check: postpone 4. 改期
  Something came up, could we take a rain check? 我突然有事,我们能改期吗?
  2.Rain or shine: no matter what. 无论如何
  The party will go on rain or shine. 派对一定会举行,不管刮风下雨。

  • The rain has almost stopped, it's just drizzling now. 雨几乎停了,现在只是在下毛毛雨。
  • It was drizzling, and miserably cold and damp. 外面下着毛毛细雨,天气又冷又湿,令人难受。
adj.分散的,稀疏的;散步的;疏疏落落的
  • Gathering up his scattered papers,he pushed them into his case.他把散乱的文件收拾起来,塞进文件夹里。
n.斗篷,雨衣
  • He yawned and curled his body down farther beneath the poncho.他打了个呵欠,把身子再蜷拢点儿,往雨披里缩了缩。
  • The poncho is made of nylon.这雨披是用尼龙制造的。
