【解答】从人身上说起,“汗流浃背”是 wet through with perspiration.“泪如泉涌”是 The tears flowed like a fountain.“在雨中淋湿一身”是 get drenched,“淹死”是 be drowned.“河流泛滥”叫 inundate 或 overflow 或 flood,“泉水起泡”叫 bubble,“小波纹”是 ripple,“大波浪”是 wave 或 surge,或 billow,“波涛汹涌”是 the dashing of waves,“浪花飞溅”是 The sea sprays splashed on the beach.“流鼻涕”是 snivel,而“涕泗交流”则说 Both tears and snivel run down the face.“小儿吃液体食物吃得满脸都是”就叫做 dribble-puss (=a face with dribbles on it).人的“口水(唾液)”叫 saliva,“流口水”便说 drool,“浇花”是 sprinkle flowers.“濡笔”是 dip the pen in ink.“洒泪”是 shed tears.“洒水”是 spill water,“覆水难收”是 It is no use crying over spilt milk.“他在淌汗”是 He is oozing sweat.“伤口出血”则说 The wound oozed blood.“下牛毛雨”叫 drizzle,“下大点雨”就说 Rain fell in big drops(或 torrents).俗语说 It is raining cats and dogs (=pitchforks).“阵雨”就说 shower.形容“雨声”说 pattering 或 dripping.“水的一滴”是 a drop,但持续不断地滴就可把石头滴一个洞,那时英文说 Constant dropping wears the stone.在日常说话中形容液体的小量也说 a drop,如:
