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”（There is no climate in England, but only weather.）。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：

 例句：So what happened to you now, cat got your tongue?

 

一、weather 天气

1. I am feeling a bit under the weather this morning. I kept up very late last night. 今天早晨我有点儿不舒服，昨天晚上睡得很晚。

 

2. Keep a weather eye open for any small faults with your car — if they are not repaired immediately they could cost you a lot of money. 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。

 

3. Bob, my fair-weather friend, left me when I badly needed his help. 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。

 

4. The young man made terribly heavy weather of mending the puncture. It only took a few minutes when he finally did it. 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。

 

二、rain 雨

5. Come rain or shine, I’ll meet you at nine tomorrow morning at the cinema. 明天早上九点无论如何我都在电影院和你见面。

 

6. After graduation, you’d better put some money by for a rainy day. 你们毕业后最好积蓄一些钱以备不时之需。

 

7. It was raining cats and dogs when I was on my way to my school. 在上学的路上，我遇到一场倾盆大雨。 源于天气的英语习语
