Why Do Englishmen Like Talking about Weather?
In England, many people begin to talk by saying: "Isn't it a nice day?" "Do you think it will rain?" "I think it's going to snow."
Many people think they can tell what the weather will be like, but they hardly ever agree with each other. One man may say: "Do you see how cloudy it is in the east? It's going to rain tomorrow. "Another man will say: " Yes, it is cloudy in the east. We're going to have fine weather tomorrow. "
People often look for the weather they want. When a farmer needs water, he looks for something to tell him it's going to rain and he won't believe (相信) anything else. When friends have a picnic, they are so sure the weather is going to be fine very quickly that they sit eating their lunch while it is raining.
Almost everyone listens to what the weatherman says, but he doesn't always tell us what we want and sometimes he makes a mistake. Still, he is right most of the time.
