易错句子We waited under the drizzle for the bus.

汉语说“在雨中/在毛毛雨下”，用方位词“下”，学生容易直译成 under。英语谈雨、雪、雾等天气现象时用介词 in，不用 under：in the rain、in the snow、in the drizzle。这里表示“身处雨中”，只能说 in the drizzle。

正确表达It was a light drizzle this morning.
汉语“小毛毛雨”的“小”常被直译为 small，但英语描述雨量大小用 light，不用 small，light drizzle 才是固定搭配；small 只指体积小，不指雨势弱。此句只需把 small 换成 light，其余不变。
