English proverbs about rain

English proverbs, with their well-known images and metaphors, reflect people's accumulated experience and formed values from generation to generation. As a pocket-sized version of oral literature loved by society, they have been quoted hundreds of times, becoming arguments to convince others and being used to guide daily life. Below, I have compiled English proverbs related to rain for you. Welcome to learn from them.

First, the sun is raining.

Rain in the east, sunrise in the east, said it was not sunny, but it was still sunny.

This is what Liu Yuxi, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, described as "sunny and rainy" in Zhi Zhu Ci. For China people, this may be a good sign. It will rain in the sun, but for Americans, this is a vision, not a good thing. So when they were young, they asked their parents curiously why it rained at the same time and the sun came out again. Their parents would tell them, "The devil is beating his wife." . )"

In English, there is a very interesting saying that it rains on a sunny day. Monkey's wedding? The wedding of the monkey.

Please look at the following example:

I rushed to grab my camera and managed to take some photos before the monkey's wedding ended. I grabbed my camera and took some photos of sunny and rainy days before the rain stopped.

Second, the sound of rain.

Living in a small building and listening to the falling spring rain, you will hear the sound of selling apricots in the depths of the alley early in the morning.

Romantic poets in China like listening to the rain. Besides Lu You's The Beginning of Spring Rain in Lin 'an, we can also read: Lying in the dead of night listening to the wind and rain, iron horse glacier man dreaming? ,? Sorrow and joy are always ruthless, and every step will last until dawn? . In English, the sound of rain is described by some onomatopoeic words, such as dripping, dripping, scratching, drumming, splashing and so on.

For example:

We were attacked by wind and rain. (Buffeting crash)

Rain splashed on the window.

Raindrops are beating on my window. (Drums)

We heard the dripping rain. )

The banging on the roof went on all night. I heard the heavy rain banging on the roof all night. )

Third, get wet in the rain.

Even if there was no rain in Mystery, the clothes were dyed deep in the clouds.

In Stay on the Mountain, Zhang Xu, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, figured out that the guests were not afraid to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Spring Mountain, but worried that the rain would wet their clothes. Things that get wet in the rain often happen in our lives.

In Britain, there are three kinds of raincoats: umbrella (umbrella), raincoat (raincoat or raincoat) and rain boots (rain boots, rain boots, rubber rain boots, rubber rain boots). Poncho, poncho, etc. All waterproof. Whether it rains or not, English gentlemen always wear hats and umbrellas when they go out. There are all kinds of umbrellas everywhere in front of shops and supermarkets on the street, just like cigarettes and candy. If you don't take rain gear, you will get caught in the rain. For example, it is raining heavily outside. As soon as you got home, someone asked you, "Did you get caught in the rain?"

Example:

People often say "get soaked" in Chinese and "I'm soaked" in English.

"It was raining cats and dogs outside, so I was soaked to the skin." It rained so hard that I was soaked through. )

They came home soaked and dripping with water.

It seems that they came out of the water tank and came home covered in water. )

You can also use the word "shower", for example:

They were trapped in a storm and woke up with a start. ) They were caught in a heavy rain when they went out and were soaked to the skin. )

Fourth, freezing rain

This is freezing rain. I want to clear up and stir up a cool breeze.

The freezing rain written by Liu Ban, a poet in the Song Dynasty, in Hailing may actually be cold rain, which we can understand as cold rain. For example, a cold rain is falling.

In hydrology, precipitation can be divided into several types: rain, snow, sleet and freezing rain. Rain and snow are well known. Needless to say, what about sleet?

It refers to "hail", which is ice particles without crystallization, unlike snowflakes with incredible hexagonal crystals. Freezing rain refers to "freezing rain" because the temperature of rain is below zero for a long time, but it does not condense into ice crystals because of the lack of crystallization conditions, but freezes as soon as it falls to the ground. This is freezing rain, which is often seen in early winter.

For example:

We had 3 inches of snow and sleep last week. Three inches of snow and hail fell last week.

Verb (abbreviation for verb) Xiaoyu

An old man in the bank, wearing a green bamboo hat raincoat and a green raincoat, braved the wind and rain and fished leisurely. He was fascinated by the beautiful spring scenery and didn't even go home in the rain.

The rain in Mao Mao in the Tang Dynasty poet Zhang's "Fishing Songs" is obviously the rain in Mao Mao if he wears hemp fiber and hat. In English, the meteorological term is light rain.

For example:

The weather will be sunny and light rain. )

Sporadic light rain is used for "sporadic light rain", such as:

"We had to cancel the track and field competition because of sporadic light rain."

In spoken English, because it rained cats and dogs last night means it rained cats and dogs last night, some people creatively describe it as: it rained cats and dogs, or it rained cockroaches and ants.

(ant)

It means the rain is getting smaller. Use words like "relent" or "let up", for example:

Six, heavy rain

People occasionally use piddling rain or piddling rain to talk about heavy rain. These two words originally meant urinating in children's spoken language.
