“暴雨”英文表達
請看報道:
An airport spokesman said the torrential downpour caused 144 flights to be canceled and 93 flights delayed for more than an hour at the Beijing Capital International Airport by 9 pm Thursday.
首都國際機場(chǎng)一位發(fā)言人稱(chēng),截至上周四晚9點(diǎn),這場(chǎng)傾盆大雨導致144架航班被取消,93架航班延誤超過(guò)一小時(shí)。
文中的torrential downpour就是“傾盆大雨”,類(lèi)似的說(shuō)法還有drenching downpour、come down in bucket/sheets、rainstorm、cloudburst、a deluge (of rain)等等。暴雨來(lái)臨前,北京市氣象臺發(fā)布了blue rainstorm warning(暴雨藍色預警)。
關(guān)于大暴雨,還有一種非常形象的'說(shuō)法,就是rain cats and dogs。關(guān)于這一習語(yǔ)的起源有這樣一種解釋?zhuān)篋uring heavy rains in 17th century England, some city streets became raging rivers of filth carrying many cats and dogs.(17世紀的英格蘭在下大雨的時(shí)候,一些城市的街道就會(huì )水流成河,而且這些污水中還會(huì )飄浮著(zhù)大量的死貓死狗。)
傳說(shuō)諾亞建好方舟后,八個(gè)人被帶到船上。God shut the door and then the heavens opened and outpoured.(神關(guān)上了方舟之門(mén),然后天開(kāi)了,暴雨嘩嘩臨降。)因此我們現在也用the heavens opened來(lái)形容下暴雨了,比如:We were waiting at the bus stop when the heavens opened.
