那咱们一同看看各种雨用英语怎么说?
细雨:drizzle
阵雨:shower
骤雨:downpour
冰雹:hail
暴风雨:storm, tempest
雷雨:thunderstorm
滂沱大雨: torrential downpour
英文里雨的巨细有纷歧样的说法:
It’s raining on and off.
外面鄙人阵雨。
It's pouring.
外面鄙人滂沱大雨。
It's spitting.
It’s just spitting a little.
外面鄙人毛毛雨。
It’s drizzling.
外面鄙人小雨。
我国人说大雨、小雨,而西方人却给雨分出轻重, 他们说 heavy rain(大雨), light rain(小雨)。
所以大雨还可以说:
It's raining heavily.
There is a heavy downpour.
It’s raining really hard.
We’re having a heavy rain
除了我们都晓得的rain cats and dogs,还有哪些英语句子可以来描绘“正鄙人大雨”。

分配“pour down”或“bucket down”的意思都是“下大雨、下滂沱大雨”。
3、It’s chucking it down. 正鄙人滂沱大雨。
单词chuck有?呈秩印钡囊庖澹琧huck it down这个习语便可以用来描述“暴雨凶狠”的姿势,也就是表达 rain veryheavily的意思。
Outside it was chucking it down and the streets were deserted.
室外大雨如注,街上空无一人。
4、The heavens have opened. 俄然下起了滂沱大雨。
“地狱翻开了。”听起来怪不怪?正本英国人用“heavens”比方大雨“突如其来、倾盆而泻”,就如同天空“开了一个口”相同。
5、It's coming down in buckets.外面雨下得非常大!
As soon as we were inside, the rain began to bucket down.
假定下雨时你恰巧在外面意外被淋成了落汤鸡
你可以说

4、Rain check 改天再约,这个英语词组来历于美国的露天棒球竞赛,假定竞赛当全国雨而致使竞赛不得不撤消时,那么观众可以领到叫做“RainCheck雨票”的凭证,或许用正本的票根作为“Rain Check”,这样的话,即便棒球竞赛改期举办,观众不必重复付费,凭“RainCheck雨票”出场即可。
We would love to come to your house, but we are busy next Saturday.
Could we take a rain check on your kind invitation?
咱们很想去你家,但下周六咱们很忙。咱们可以改天再应你的美意聘请吗?
