Now, don't forget to turn on the subtitles right here, once you've done that we're ready to get started!
在这段视频中，我将分享一些我最喜欢的英语天气习语。
So what's an idiom?
那么什么是习语呢?
Idioms are English expressions that are quite unique because the meaning of the expression is different to the individual meaning of each word.
习语是非常独特的英语表达方式，因为表达的意思与每个单词的意思不同。
Now, idioms exist in lots of different languages
现在，习语存在于许多不同的语言中，
but the reason that they can be so difficult to understand and also to learn to use is because of the different meaning that you need to understand.
但它们如此难以理解和学习使用的原因是因为你需要理解的意思不同。
It's also because most of the time
这也是因为大多数时候，
when you're trying to learn these idioms you're looking in a book
当你试图学习这些习语的时候，你从书上找，
or you're looking on a website that has a list of hundreds and hundreds of idioms and you just end up getting frustrated and confused.
或者你从网站上找，那里有成百上千的习语，你最后会感到沮丧和困惑。
Some of them I haven't even heard of before!
有些我以前甚至没听说过!
The secret to learning English idioms is to focus on idioms that are relevant and that are often used in everyday conversation.
学习英语习语的秘诀是专注于与日常会话相关的习语。
Like everything, idioms come in and out of fashion.
和其他事物一样，习语也时兴时衰。
Sometimes they're popular.
有时很受欢迎。
Sometimes they're not, they're really daggy.
有时不受欢迎，会很过时。
and no-one uses them anymore.
没有人再使用它们了。
It depends on who you are, where you are, your age and the people that you hang out with.
这取决于你是谁，你在哪里，你的年龄和你周围的人。
Idioms are quite unique like that but there are a group of really common idioms that are used across native speaking countries
习语是非常独特的，但是有一组非常常见的习语是在母语国家使用的
And to make it easier for you, I've chosen all of the idioms that I teach in these lessons specifically because they are currently in use.
为了让你们更容易理解，我选择了我在这些课程中所教授的这些习语，因为目前都在被高频使用。
They are used every day.
它们每天都被使用。
I hear them all the time!
我总是听到它们！
So you can feel confident that they're worth learning and it's worth spending your time on these idioms.
所以你可以自信地认为它们值得学习，值得你花时间在这些习语上。
So, don't get your knickers in a twist!
所以，不要紧张!
Don't get upset!
不要生气!
I'm going to teach you a few really common English idioms right here, right now in this lesson.
在这节课中，我要教你几个非常常见的英语习语。
Let's get going!
让我们开始吧！
When I say the word 'weather', what kinds of ideas come into your head?
当我说“天气”这个词的时候，你会想到什么?
I think of sunshine, rain, clouds, storms, lightning, thunder, wind, all sorts of words!
我想到了阳光、雨、云、风暴、闪电、雷声、风，各种各样的词！
And all of the idioms that I'm going to teach you today use weather words in some way.
今天我要教你们的所有习语都在某种程度上使用了天气词汇。
OK the first one!
好的，第一个!

The second one.
第二个。
'When it rains, it pours'.

So this idiom is used when something goes wrong and a whole bunch of things go wrong at the same time.

THAT is the time to use this idiom!
是时候使用这个习语了!
So, think about this situation.

这个习语的意思是你愿意接受别人的邀请
but you can't do it right now and you want to accept the offer at a later time.
但是你现在不能这么做，你想在以后的某个时候接受这份工作。
So for example, if your friend said to you “I've got two spare tickets to the football match tonight.
