| Everybody talks about the weather, but nobody does anything about it. It is true. People usually begin their talks with "Isn't it a nice day?" "Do you think it will rain?" "What a fine day!" etc. (等等) Many people think they can tell what the weather  is going to be like. But they hardly agree witheach other. One man may say, "Do you see how cloudy it is in the east? It's going to rain tomorrow. " Another man will say, "No, it's going to be fine tomorrow. " People often look for the weather they want. When a farmer needs water, he looks for something to tell him it's going to rain; he won't believe ( 相信) anything else. When friends have a travel, (旅游) they are sure the  weather is going to clear up(晴朗 )very quickly. Almost (几乎) everyone listens to what the weathe  r man says. But he doesn't always tell us what we want, and once in a while he makes a mistake. (犯错误) Still, he probably (可能) comes closer to being correct (正确) than anyone else. |
