One way to hold this word: you look up and the sky has already gone dark and heavy, but not a drop has fallen yet. The cloud is here; the storm is not. Everything storm cloud does comes from that gap between seeing and happening — it is the thing that arrives first and tells you what is on its way.
可以想成這樣一個畫面：你抬頭，天已經黑成一片，又厚又低，可是雨還一滴都沒下。雲到了，雨還沒到。storm cloud 的兩個意思都從這個「中間的空檔」長出來——它是先到的那個東西，站在那裡替後面的事報信。所以不管講天氣還是講麻煩，重點都不是「已經發生」，而是「看得見它要來了」。
