中文说下雨了,几乎天上降水 就是下雨, 大雨小雨,阵雨,连阴雨...... 都算,

英文里是否也这样呢?好像 shower 不是 rain,
持续较久才是 rain, 一小会儿 只是 shower, 不算 rain .

你认为呢 (⊙o⊙)?


下面是一个正式官方的天气预报例子:

Today: Mixed clouds and sun this morning. Scattered thunderstorms developing this afternoon. High 89F. Winds WSW at 5 to 10 mph. Chance of rain 40%.


Tonight: Scattered thunderstorms early, mainly cloudy late with a few showers.
Low 66F. Winds NNW at 5 to 10 mph. Chance of rain 40%.!
