POPULAR AMERICAN 流行美语 第317课
Larry真准备跟李华一起出去吃饭，外面突然下起了瓢泼大雨。今天我们要学两个常用语：it's raining cats and dogs和I'm so hungry I could eat a horse.
LH: Larry, 我好象从来没见过这么大的雨。
LL: I know, it's really raining cats and dogs.
LH: Cats and dogs? 什么猫啊狗啊的，明明是在下雨啊。
LL: No, it's raining cats and dogs out means that it is really pouring outside.
LH: 噢，原来说it's raining cats and dogs就是中文里说的瓢泼大雨。真奇怪，下雨跟cats and dogs有什么关系呢？
LL: You know, Li Hua, I have no idea.
LH: 既然能下猫下狗，能不能下狮子，下老虎呢？
LL: No, I'm pretty sure cats and dogs are it.
LH: 糟糕了，我把雨伞落在学校了。没有伞，怎么出门呢？有了！我可以头上顶着报纸，冲到车上去。
LL: Come on, Li Hua! The newspaper won't keep you dry, it's raining cats and dogs! Maybe we could share my umbrella and stay dry.
LH: 就你这把小伞，八成咱俩一出去就湿透了。
LL: It really is coming down out there. You'd better hang on to me, otherwise you'll be washed away.
LH: 没问题，我可是游泳健将。
LL: You know, I haven't seen it rain cats and dogs like this in a very long time.
LH: 还好我们现在是在家里，要是半路赶上下暴雨，那才倒霉呢！
LL: Yes, we'd be a couple of drowned rats.
LH: 落水的老鼠？I wouldn't want to be with cats and dogs if I were a rat. 我如果真是老鼠的话，一定不愿意跟这些猫啊狗啊的在一块儿。
LL: Never mind, we've had enough animal phrases today.When do you think the storm will start to let up?
LH: 既然是雷阵雨，那用不了多久可能就会停了。
LL: I sure hope it will let up soon, because I'm getting hungry!
LH: Larry, 看，雨小了。
*******
LL: I'm glad it stopped raining, I'm so hungry I could eat a horse.
LH: Horse? 你当真要吃马肉？这里恐怕没有马肉！
LL: No. I don't mean that I actually want to eat a horse, I'm just so hungry I could eat one.
LH: 你刚才不是说，今天不再提动物的话题儿了吗？
LL: I couldn't help myself, just like I won't be able to help myself from gorging on food right now.
LH: 我明白了，I am so hungry I could eat a horse，意思是饿极了，能吃掉一匹马。Well me too. 咱们点些什么呢？
LL: How about we get two orders of the steamed dumplings, sweet and sour soup, eggplant, cashew chicken, green beans, some spicy squid....
LH: 等等等等，我们就两个人，吃得了这么多吗？
LL: I wasn't kidding when I said I'm so hungry I could eat a horse.
LH: 你这种人，在中文里叫眼大肚子小。
LL: That's probably right, Li Hua. What do you say we order?
LH: 别急，我还没决定要点什么呢。肚子饿的时候，看什么都香。
LL: Yes, when you are hungry enough to eat a horse, it can be pretty difficult to decide what to eat.
LH: Larry, 你记不记得，上次我们登山回来，饿得不行，结果点了一桌子菜，结果连一半都没吃掉。
LL: I cannot believe you remember that. It was raining cats and dogs on our way down the mountain and both of us were drenched.
LH: 哈哈，怎么跟你在一起不是淋个精湿，就是饿肚子。
LL: Very funny, Li Hua. At least this time you are not wet AND hungry.
LH: 对了，Larry. 你那把小伞也该换换了吧！
LL: I know I do. The problem is I never remember to get one when it's nice out, and then when it starts raining cats and dogs, I need one, and I don't have it.
LH: 好了好了，服务员来了，我们赶快点菜吧！
今天李华学了两个常用语。一个是it's raining cats and dogs意思是瓢泼大雨。另一个是I am so hungry I could eat a horse意思是肚子饿极了，可以吃掉一匹马。
