習語來源
Rain checks were first issued at baseball games in the 1800s, and that's when this phrase became popular. If the game was rained out, you took your rain check ticket and used it to get a ticket for a future game at no extra cost.
改期這個說法最早是在19世紀的棒球比賽中傳出的,也是在那時這個說法開始盛行起來。如果一場比賽因為雨取消了,你就可以拿著你的改期票據以原價觀看未來的比賽。
