Andnow, Words and Their Stories, from VOA Learning English.
現在是VOA英語學習《詞彙掌故》節目。
On this program we teach common English expressions and how to use them.
在這個節目上，我們教常見的英語表達方式及其用法。
Many English expressions come from weather. We have talked about many in past shows.
許多英語表達都來源於天氣。在往期節目中，我們談論了很多相關的表達。
Recently we talked about lightning and how it never strikes twice … except when it does.
最近，我們討論了閃電，以及閃電從來不會兩次擊中同一個地方的原理……特殊情況除外。
Well,today we talk about the noise that comes with lightning. Thunder!
那麼，今天我們將談論伴隨閃電而來的噪音。雷聲！
Thunder is an awesome sound. It is nature's warning system.
雷鳴是一種可怕的聲音。這是自然界的警告系統。
It tells us that something extremely powerful and deadly -- lightning -- may becoming soon.
它告訴我們，某種極其強大且可能致命的東西可能很快就要到來了，那就是閃電。
All this you already know. But did you know this? You can also steal thunder!
這些你已經知道了。但你知道嗎？你也可以「偷走雷聲」！
That's right -- in English expressions you can.
沒錯，在英語中你可以這樣表達。
If you think about it, thunder is pretty amazing.
如果你琢磨一下它，你會發現雷聲非常驚奇。
From low rumblings to sharp cracks, it is easy for thunder to take our attention away from what we are doing.
從低沉的隆隆聲到尖銳的爆裂聲，雷聲很容易分散我們的注意力。
We stop and look to the sky. Is it going to rain? Am I in danger of getting hit by lightning?
我們停下來望向天空。要下雨了嗎？我會被閃電擊中嗎？
As an expression, thunder works the same way.
當作表達方式使用時，「thunder」的作用同樣如此。
