1704795668 【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:
1704795669
1704795670 Husband: May I have some more coffee?
1704795671
1704795672 Wife: I’m sorry. There’s just a drop left. Shall I make some more?
1704795673
1704795674 Husband: No, don’t bother.
1704795675
1704795676 持续不断一点一点在滴的就说 dripping,是从动词 drip 来的,如果“屋漏”(leak)就是 The rain water is dripping through a crack on the ceiling.那时你可以听到 dripping noise.普通下大雨时,“水从屋檐上落下来”就说 The water drips from the eaves.
1704795677
1704795678 “细水长流”或“涓涓细流”英文是 trickle,如:

1704795681
1704795682 Tears trickled down her cheeks.(泪流满面。)
1704795683

1704795691
1704795692 用水冲洗就说 flush,所以“抽水马桶”叫 flush toilet,用过之后用水冲洗就说 flushing the toilet,母亲常要对孩子们说:
1704795693
1704795694 Be sure to flush the toilet when you are through.(你解过手记着要冲马桶。)
1704795695

1704795697
1704795698 The water gushed out of the break in the pipe.(水管破了,有水冒出来。)
1704795699
1704795700 流水潺潺的声音叫 gurgle,但声音更响的就用 gargle,如我们早起漱口(rinse the mouth),但喉咙痛时就得用药水漱口,如:
1704795701

1704795703
1704795704 B. That’s too bad. Did you try gargling Listerine?

1704795707
1704795708 B. That might help.
1704795709
1704795710 喷出来的水由小而大的有 spit-squirt-spirt-spout,如“吐口水”叫 spit,小孩子玩的“水枪”叫 squirt gun=water pistol,喷水小一点的说 squirt,大一点的说 spirt=spurt,如公园中给游人喝的自来水涌出的情形。喷水喷得更大的就说 spout 如鲸的喷水;或喷水池的喷水。
