说起英语中的俚语，真心让我们这些英语非母语的人头疼。上学的时候，英语老师教过我们一句俚语：raining cats and dogs。如果不懂这句话意思的小伙伴，听到有人说“It's raining cats and dogs out there”，肯定第一件事就是拿起手机拍照吧——天上下猫和狗啦!但是，这句话的真正含义是：外面的雨很大。据说是因为17世纪的时候，英国有些城市雨太大了，街道都淹了，导致很多猫猫和狗狗都淹死了而浮在被水淹没的街道上。虽然这是一个悲伤的俚语，但是也说明学会一些俚语以后，不仅会让你的英语更地道，还能了解好多故事呢。今天留学群来给大家安利一些英国人才懂的俚语，大家偶尔甩几个出来肯定惊艳全场。
