<p>美国习惯用语-第94讲:<span word="cloudy">cloudy</span></p><p><span word="in">in</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="clouds">clouds</span> </p><p>今天我们要给大家讲解两个由<span word="cloud">cloud</span>这个字组成的习惯用语。大家肯定都知道<span word="cloud">cloud</span>就是天上的云。天上满布乌云的时候，天空往往就变得很暗淡。我们要讲的第一个俗语就是这个意思。 </p><p><span word="Cloud">Cloud</span>这个字是名词，意思是云。<span word="Cloud">Cloud</span>后面加一个字母<span word="y">y</span>就成了形容词，意思是：多云。但是，它的含意也可以解释为：暗淡、不乐观。下面是一个电台播音员在发表他对国际贸易前景的看法： </p><p>例句-1: "<span word="When">When</span> <span word="you">you</span> <span word="look">look</span> <span word="at">at</span> <span word="all">all</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="trouble">trouble</span> <span word="spots">spots</span> <span word="around">around</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="globe">globe</span> <span word="right">right</span> <span word="now">now</span>, <span word="the">the</span> <span word="future">future</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="international">international</span> <span word="trade">trade</span> <span word="looks">looks</span> <span word="very">very</span> <span word="cloudy">cloudy</span>." </p><p>这位播音员说：“要是你看看当前全球所有有问题的地方，国际贸易的前景看来是很暗淡的。”换句话说也就是，这位播音员认为国际贸易的前景并不乐观。 </p><p>在天上多云的时候，许多东西也不像阳光灿烂的时候看的那么清楚。下面这句话就是一个例子。美国国会两院对每一个新的提案都要经过讨论，然后投票通过。一名记者问一位参议员国会会不会通过某个提案。这位参议员回答说： </p><p>例句-2: "<span word="I">I</span>\'<span word="d">d</span> <span word="have">have</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="say">say</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="chances">chances</span> <span word="are">are</span> <span word="cloudy">cloudy</span>. <span word="We">We</span> <span word="have">have</span> <span word="quite">quite</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="bit">bit</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="support">support</span> <span word="for">for</span> <span word="this">this</span> <span word="bill">bill</span> <span word="but">but</span> <span word="we">we</span>\'<span word="re">re</span> <span word="not">not</span> <span word="sure">sure</span> <span word="that">that</span> <span word="we">we</span> <span word="have">have</span> <span word="enough">enough</span> <span word="votes">votes</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="get">get</span> <span word="it">it</span> <span word="passed">passed</span>." </p><p>这位参议员回答说：“我觉得很难肯定。支持这项提案的人还不少，但是我们不敢肯定我们会有足够的票数来通过这项提案。” </p>
