核心畫面

You can think of stormy as the weather when a storm is actually happening: wind driving hard, rain coming down, the sky dark and moving. Not simply 'bad weather' but weather that is loud, violent and never still — something you can hear hitting the window.

「正在颳暴風雨的那一刻」:風大到吹得樹彎腰,雨橫著打過來,天色暗下來、雲一直翻動。它不只是「天氣不好」而已——不好的更多收起「正在颳暴風雨的那一刻」:風大到吹得樹彎腰,雨橫著打過來,天色暗下來、雲一直翻動。它不只是「天氣不好」而已——不好的天氣可以只是陰陰的、悶悶的;stormy 是有聲音、有動作、停不下來的那種:東西被吹倒、窗戶被打得砰砰響。整個字帶著「力量正在發作」的感覺。
