怎样用英语表达“下大雨”

  1. It’s tipping it down. 雨下得很大。
    英国人用搭配“be tipping it down”来形容“雨下得很大”,就像有人把雨水“tip 倾倒下来”一样,雨大势急。

  2. It’s pouring down. 正在下倾盆大雨。
    搭配“pour down”或“bucket down”的意思都是“下大雨、下倾盆大雨”。

  3. It’s chucking it down. 正在下瓢泼大雨。
    动词“chuck”的原意是“扔、甩”。英国人用“chuck”这个动作来形容“暴雨如注”的景象。

  4. The heavens have opened. 突然下起了滂沱大雨。
    “天堂打开了。”听起来怪不怪?原来英国用“heavens”比喻大雨“从天而降、倾盆而泻”,就好像天空“开了一个口”一样。

  5. It rains cats and dogs.大雨倾盆

在这里插入图片描述

Based on the following story, continue the story by writing two paragraphs, paragraph 1 beginning with "A few weeks later, I went to the farm again. " and paragraph 2 beginning with "I was just about to leave when the hummingbird appeared."respectively with 150 words. I was invited to a cookout on an old friend's farm in western Washington. I parked my car outside the farm and walked past a milking house which had apparently not been used in many years.A noise at a window caught my attention,so I entered it. It was a hummingbird,desperately trying to escape. She was covered in spider-webs and was barely able to move her wings. She ceased her struggle the instant I picked her up. With the bird in my cupped hand, I looked around to see how she had gotten in. The broken window glass was the likely answer. I stuffed a piece of cloth into the hole and took her outside,closing the door securely behind me. When I opened my hand, the bird did not fly away; she sat looking at me with her bright eyes.I removed the sticky spider-webs that covered her head and wings. Still, she made no attempt to fly.Perhaps she had been struggling against the window too long and was too tired? Or too thirsty? As I carried her up the blackberry-lined path toward my car where I kept a water bottle, she began to move. I stopped, and she soon took wing but did not immediately fly away. Hovering,she approached within six inches of my face. For a very long moment,this tiny creature looked into my eyes, turning her head from side to side. Then she flew quickly out of sight. During the cookout, I told my hosts about the hummingbird incident. They promised to fix the window. As I was departing, my friends walked me to my car. I was standing by the car when a hummingbird flew to the center of our group and began hovering. She turned from person to person until she came to me. She again looked directly into my eyes, then let out a squeaking call and was gone. For a moment, all were speechless. Then someone said, “She must have come to say good-bye.”
