源于天气的英语习语
<p>英国人见面寒暄的开场白，十之八九是从天气开始的。作为四面环海的岛国，由于受到四季海风的影响，英国的天气变化很快，英国人甚至认为“在英国本土没有气候，只有天气”（<span word="There">There</span> <span word="is">is</span> <span word="no">no</span> <span word="climate">climate</span> <span word="in">in</span> <span word="England">England</span>, <span word="but">but</span> <span word="only">only</span> <span word="weather">weather</span>.）。英语里有许多和天气有关的习语被广泛地应用。下面笔者就这类常见习语做一简单介绍：</p><p>一、<span word="weather">weather</span> 天气</p><p>1. <span word="I">I</span> <span word="am">am</span> <span word="feeling">feeling</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="bit">bit</span> <span word="under">under</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="weather">weather</span> <span word="this">this</span> <span word="morning">morning</span>. <span word="I">I</span> <span word="kept">kept</span> <span word="up">up</span> <span word="very">very</span> <span word="late">late</span> <span word="last">last</span> <span word="night">night</span>.</p><p>今天早晨我有点儿不舒服，昨天晚上睡得很晚。</p><p>2. <span word="Keep">Keep</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="weather">weather</span> <span word="eye">eye</span> <span word="open">open</span> <span word="for">for</span> <span word="any">any</span> <span word="small">small</span> <span word="faults">faults</span> <span word="with">with</span> <span word="your">your</span> <span word="car">car</span> — <span word="if">if</span> <span word="they">they</span> <span word="are">are</span> <span word="not">not</span> <span word="repaired">repaired</span> <span word="immediately">immediately</span> <span word="they">they</span> <span word="could">could</span> <span word="cost">cost</span> <span word="you">you</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="lot">lot</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="money">money</span>.</p><p>留意你车子的任何小毛病——如果不及时修理，以后可能要花好多钱。</p><p>3. <span word="Bob">Bob</span>, <span word="my">my</span> <span word="fair">fair</span>-<span word="weather">weather</span> <span word="friend">friend</span>, <span word="left">left</span> <span word="me">me</span> <span word="when">when</span> <span word="I">I</span> <span word="badly">badly</span> <span word="needed">needed</span> <span word="his">his</span> <span word="help">help</span>.</p><p>鲍伯是我的一位不能共患难的朋友，当我正需要他的时候，他却走了。</p><p>4. <span word="The">The</span> <span word="young">young</span> <span word="man">man</span> <span word="made">made</span> <span word="terribly">terribly</span> <span word="heavy">heavy</span> <span word="weather">weather</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="mending">mending</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="puncture">puncture</span>. <span word="It">It</span> <span word="only">only</span> <span word="took">took</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="few">few</span> <span word="minutes">minutes</span> <span word="when">when</span> <span word="he">he</span> <span word="finally">finally</span> <span word="did">did</span> <span word="it">it</span>.</p><p>这个年轻人对修补扎破的车胎小题大做了，他最后只用几分钟就补好了。</p><p>二、<span word="rain">rain</span> 雨</p><p>5. <span word="Come">Come</span> <span word="rain">rain</span> <span word="or">or</span> <span word="shine">shine</span>, <span word="I">I</span>’<span word="ll">ll</span> <span word="meet">meet</span> <span word="you">you</span> <span word="at">at</span> <span word="nine">nine</span> <span word="tomorrow">tomorrow</span> <span word="morning">morning</span> <span word="at">at</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="cinema">cinema</span>.</p><p>明天早上九点无论如何我都在电影院和你见面。</p>
