Ally: It’s no fun to stay inside. But it’s raining cats and dogs outside.

Andy: I totally agree.

我说留在里面并不好玩。但外面正在 “raining cats and dogs” 。

“Raining cats and dogs” 不是下着猫和狗。 “Raining 是下雨的意思。“Cats and dogs” 是猫和狗的意思。那“raining cats and dogs” 是什么哪？

“Raining cats and dogs” 是下的很大的雨的意思。

I brought an umbrella just in case it starts to rain cats and dogs.

我带了一把雨伞，以防万一它开始下很大的雨。

Andy: Hey Ally, do you like it more when it is raining cats and dogs or when it is sunny?

Ally: Of course, when it’s sunny because I get to play outside!

Andy: Me too!
