li: hello and welcome to ¹ real english from bbc learning english. i'm li. 我现在正在录音室里等着jen，她就在外面，不过她好像心情特别不好，怒气冲天。对了，借这个机会我教你一个和天气有关的成语，怎么样？ jen is looking really angry. have a listen…

 

jen: (screaming and shouting)

 

li: she has a face like thunder. if you have a face like thunder, it means that you are very very angry indeed. 火冒三丈。jen definitely seems angry!

 

jen: (in the background) it's so unfair. when things go wrong for me, they always go badly wrong. it never rains but it pours!

 

li: there's another weather idiom. did you hear it? jen said "it never rains but it pours." 汉语里有句话叫祸不单行，谁摊上这种事都不会高兴的。i wonder what jen's problem is? oh, here she comes!

 

jen: hi li. sorry i'm late. i'm so upset. the boss said that i would get a ² if i finished all of my work by midday. i finished everything by 12 o'clock and now the boss is ignoring my emails about the promotion and won't talk to me.

 

li: i think you're just chasing rainbows, jen. 你竟是想好事儿，那明明是不可能的吗！在汉语里我们说这是追逐彩虹，痴人说梦！

 

jen: so you don't think i'll get a promotion?

 

li: i don't think so, i'm afraid. i think the boss was probably just trying to get you to finish your work more quickly.

 

jen: he tricked me! there he is! i'm going to go and talk to him!

 

(door closes)

 

li: well, that all sounds like a storm in a teacup to me. 我很喜欢这个成语，茶杯里的暴风雨，什么意思呢？是不是我们汉语里说的“小题大做”？对，就是小题大做。here's jen coming back in! (to jen) well? what did he say?

li: you see, jen? every cloud has a silver ³! 黑暗中总有一线光明。this idiom means that you can always find something positive, even in a bad situation.
