你知道吗
英语中有许多习语
都包含了与“天气”有关的词
但是它们真的是用来描述天气的吗？
一起来看看吧！
1. be/feel under the weather
该习语用来表示“身体不适，生病”。其他类似表达有“I am sick./I feel ill.”。

2. get wind of …
该习语表示“听到……的风声，得知……的消息”

直到最后一刻他才弄清究竟发生了什么事。
If they get wind of what we are doing , we ' ll then be in a very passive position.

3. break the ice
该习语很形象，字面意思为“破冰”，引申为“打破沉默(或僵局); 使气氛轻松”。
At the social gathering the weather is the subject which usually breaks the ice.
在社交聚会上，天气通常是打破沉默的话题。
4. head in the clouds
该词组字面意思是“脑袋在云里”，其实是形容“胡思乱想，不切实际”。反义表达为have one's feet on the ground; be down-to-earth（脚踏实地）。
A good artist should have his head in the clouds sometimes, but his feet always on the ground.
一位好的艺术家有时应富于幻想，但始终要脚踏实地。
5. every dark cloud has a silver lining
该习语意为“困境中也有一线希望”，类似于“守得云开见月明”。

多看好的一面，黑暗中总有一线光明。
Even though he lost the match, he gained in experience and is now more confident. Everycloud has a silver lining.
即使他输掉了比赛，但是他积累了经验，也比以前更自信了。糟糕的情况总会有好的一面。
6. steal someone’s thunder
该习语表示“居他人之功，抢人风头”。

你怎么可以在我的婚礼上告诉大家你订婚了？你完全抢走了我的风头！
7. fair-weather friend(s)
Fair weather意为“好天气、晴空万里”，而fair-weather friends却表示“只有在一切安好、顺风顺水的时候才能做朋友的人”，近似于中文所说的“酒肉朋友” 。
A fair-weather friend will not contact you during your time of hardship.
当你陷入困境的时候，那些酒肉朋友是不会主动联络你的。
