为什么不用“big rain”?
汉语里，“大”这个形容词可以修饰很多词，如“大风”“大浪”“损失大”“大规模”“大路”“大手术”“大病”。而在英语里 big（大）不能和汉语一样可以修饰上面的词，也就是说汉语的“大”不能都译作 big。特别是“大雨”不能译成 big rain，big rain 让英美人认为是雨点大，而不是雨大；而应按照英语习惯，译成 heavy rain。为什么呢？英美人形容“天气”“雨”“雪”“风力”“云”“雾”“霜”“湿气”“雷”“波浪”等有关天气方面的词时，都喜欢用“重”（heavy），不是按照汉语的“大小”，而是以“重量”来修饰。英美人认为以上“雨”一类的事物无法用体积、大小来衡量，用重量来衡量比较可行。而中国人对事物的思考侧重用体积、大小一类的概念，如“雨点大”。看看下列英语里是怎样用 heavy 来修饰各个单词的：
1. 天气恶劣、天气坏 heavy weather
2. 大雨 heavy rain
3. 大风 heavy wind, strong wind, high wind（注：风吹得越高，当然风力越大）
4. 大雪 heavy snow
5. 大雾 heavy fog, thick fog
6. 云雾大 heavy cloud, dense cloud
7. 大浪 heavy seas, rough sea, big waves
8. 霜大，霜厚 heavy frost
9. 潮气大 heavy moisture
10. 大雷、雷声大 heavy thunder
