In his free time, he enjoys what he likes. In his garden, he grows all kinds of flowers. He has a green thumb, doesn't he? When it is______(下雨) , he takes pleasure in looking at his flowers by the garden. Or sometimes he picks some flowers to his wife as a gift.
1. The weather is rainy. (这个不能用raining,天可下雨,天气不能下雨)
2. It is rainy. 主要是指很潮湿多雨那种感觉;/ It is raining. 主要指当下在下雨;
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It is rainy 到底是什么意思?
rainy:
1. characterized by rain: rainy weather.
2. wet with rain: rainy streets.
从这个定义,你可以得出结论,
It's rainy 只是说多雨为特点,并没说此时正在下雨,(甚至现在刚好出了太阳)
正如 It's sunny 一样,也可以有短暂的阴云,不见得一直都艳阳当空。
也就是,rainy与sunny一样,是形容那种多雨的天气的 (而此时未必在下雨)。
即:
It is raining today 至少有:1. 正在下雨;2. 今天将会下雨;3. 一直在下着雨
It is rainy today 正在下雨/也可能没(正)在下雨, 反正今天会下雨,这事少不了。
It is raining now 正在下雨
所以,这个句子,用 rainy 是符合逻辑的用法。
In his free time, he enjoys what he likes. In his garden, he grows all kinds of flowers. He has a green thumb, doesn't he? When it is raining(下雨) , he takes pleasure in looking at his flowers by the garden. Or sometimes he picks some flowers to his wife as a gift.
