① Do you like rainy days? 名师精讲
Maybe most of you will say no even though rain is very important. Some people even feel bored and sad on rainy days. In English, many expressions(表达) also use rain to show trouble or hard times.
② “When it rains, it pours” is a well-known expression. This means when one bad thing happens, many other bad things often follow.
③ “Come rain or shine” is another expression. It means you are not going to let anything stop you from doing what you want. But in fact, sometimes you can't do that because rain does affect your plans.
④ Let's say you plan a big outdoor party for all your friends. Unluckily, on the day of the party, it “rains cats and dogs”—in other words, it rains heavily.
⑤ However, when you “save something for a rainy day”, you choose to put it safely away for future use. Usually, we use this expression for saving money, but of course you can save anything for a rainy day.
