Nature

The insurance policy covered damages caused by fire, theft, and acts of God like earthquakes and hurricanes.

It's going to rain cats and dogs.

After walking for hours in the snowstorm without proper protection, I was chilled to the bone and desperately sought warmth.

After standing outside in the freezing wind, I was chilled to the marrow and couldn't stop shivering.

艰难时期, 苦日子

If they don't prepare well, they will face the dog days of a difficult exam.

如果他们不好好准备，他们将面临一场艰难考试的艰难时期。

干旱期, 旱季

The farmers suffered greatly during the long dry spell, as their crops wilted due to the lack of rain.

农民在漫长的干旱期间遭受了巨大的痛苦，因为他们的庄稼由于缺乏雨水而枯萎了。

I'll be there for you, come rain or come shine, supporting you through thick and thin.

白色圣诞节

Growing up in a tropical climate, I always dreamed of experiencing a white Christmas with snowflakes falling gently from the sky.

在热带气候中长大，我一直梦想着体验白色圣诞节，雪花从天空轻轻飘落。

印第安夏天, 秋老虎

We thought winter had arrived, but then we had a week of Indian summer with sunny days and mild temperatures.

我们以为冬天已经到来，但随后我们有一个星期的小阳春，阳光明媚，气温温和。

We were walking home when the heavens opened, and we got completely drenched.
