Ob-havo idiomalari ob-havo haqida emas, odamning holati va vaziyat haqida gapiradi: under the weather — biroz betob, a storm in a teacup — arzimas narsaga katta shov-shuv, snowed under — ishga ko‘milib ketgan. Ularni ishda, oilada va yangiliklarda tez-tez eshitasiz.
Bugun ishlatsa bo‘ladigan gap: I’m a bit under the weather, so I’ll stay home today. Bu kasallikni muloyim, ortiqcha tafsilotsiz aytishning eng tabiiy usuli, hamkasbga ham, o‘qituvchiga ham mos.
Diqqat: darsliklardagi mashhur It’s raining cats and dogs hozirgi jonli nutqda kam eshitiladi. Nima uchunligini quyida alohida tushuntiramiz.
Salomatlik va kayfiyat
| Idioma | Ma’nosi | Misol | Uslub |
|---|---|---|---|
| under the weather | biroz betob, mazasi yo‘q | I’m a bit under the weather, so I’ll skip the gym. | neytral, muloyim |
| right as rain | butunlay sog‘ayib ketgan | Drink some tea with honey and you’ll be right as rain. | eskirgan, britancha |
| a face like thunder | jahldor, qovog‘i solingan qiyofa | He came out of the meeting with a face like thunder. | norasmiy, britancha |
| a ray of sunshine | atrofga quvonch ulashadigan odam | Our new neighbour’s little girl is a ray of sunshine. | neytral, iliq |
| have your head in the clouds | xayolparast, parishonxotir | He has his head in the clouds. He forgot his passport again. | norasmiy |
O‘zbekcha egizaklar: under the weather = "tobim yo‘qroq", "mazam yo‘q"; a face like thunder = "qovog‘idan qor yog‘ardi". Oxirgisi deyarli ob-havo tasviri bilan mos keladi!
Muammo, shov-shuv va qiyin davr
| Idioma | Ma’nosi | Misol | Uslub |
|---|---|---|---|
| a storm in a teacup | arzimas narsaga katta janjal | The argument about the wedding seating plan was a storm in a teacup. | neytral, britancha; AQShda a tempest in a teapot |
| the calm before the storm | katta ish yoki janjal oldidan sukunat | The office is quiet on Monday morning: the calm before the storm. | neytral |
| weather the storm | qiyin davrni yengib o‘tmoq | Many small cafés weathered the storm during the pandemic. | neytral, yangiliklarda |
| it never rains but it pours | ko‘ngilsizliklar ketma-ket keladi | First the car, then the laptop. It never rains but it pours. | britancha; AQShda when it rains, it pours |
| the tip of the iceberg | muammoning ko‘rinib turgan kichik qismi | The broken lift is just the tip of the iceberg in our building. | neytral, IELTS Part 3 da qulay |
| under a cloud | shubha ostida, obro‘si to‘kilgan | The coach left the club under a cloud. | neytral, yangiliklarda |
| snowed under | ishga ko‘milib ketgan | I’m snowed under with reports this week. | norasmiy, ishda keng |
A storm in a teacup ga o‘zbekcha "pashshadan fil yasamoq" yaqin, lekin farqi bor: inglizchasi vaziyatni tasvirlaydi, o‘zbekchasi odamning harakatini (bo‘rttirishini). Snowed under ga esa "boshini qashishga vaqti yo‘q" juda mos.
Rejalar va munosabatlar
| Idioma | Ma’nosi | Misol | Uslub |
|---|---|---|---|
| take a rain check | taklifni keyinga qoldirmoq | Can I take a rain check on dinner? I have an exam tomorrow. | norasmiy, muloyim |
| come rain or shine | nima bo‘lsa ham, har qanday sharoitda | My grandfather walks to the mosque every morning, come rain or shine. | neytral |
| a fair-weather friend | faqat yaxshi kunda yoningda bo‘ladigan do‘st | When I lost my job, I found out who my fair-weather friends were. | neytral |
| steal someone’s thunder | birovning e’tiborini o‘ziga tortib olmoq | I planned to announce my engagement, but my cousin stole my thunder. | norasmiy |
| get wind of something | mish-mishni eshitib qolmoq | Mum got wind of our plans before we told her. | norasmiy |
| throw caution to the wind | ehtiyotni yig‘ishtirib, tavakkal qilmoq | I threw caution to the wind and booked a trip to Georgia. | neytral |
| a whirlwind romance | juda tez rivojlangan muhabbat | It was a whirlwind romance: they met in May and married in August. | neytral |
| chase rainbows | ro‘yobga chiqmaydigan orzuga intilmoq | He keeps chasing rainbows instead of finishing his degree. | neytral, biroz kitobiy |
| a breeze | juda oson ish | The grammar test was a breeze. | norasmiy |
Come rain or shine = "qor bo‘lsin, yomg‘ir bo‘lsin". A fair-weather friend uchun esa "yaxshi kunning do‘sti" deymiz; bu mavzudagi xalq maqollari inglizcha maqollar va o‘zbekcha muqobillari sahifasida.
It’s raining cats and dogs: nega kam ishlatiladi
It’s raining cats and dogs (jala quyyapti) deyarli har bir darslikda bor, chunki kulgili va esda qoladi. Ammo hozirgi Britaniya yoki Amerikada bu iborani kundalik suhbatda kam eshitasiz. Ko‘p ona tili sohiblari uni eskirgan yoki bolalarcha deb biladi, ba’zilar faqat hazil uchun aytadi. Kelib chiqishi ham aniq emas: turli taxminlar bor, lekin birortasi isbotlanmagan.
Jonli nutqda buning o‘rniga quyidagilarni eshitasiz:
| Hozirgi ifoda | Qayerda |
|---|---|
| It’s pouring (down). | hamma joyda, eng tabiiy |
| It’s pouring with rain. | britancha |
| It’s bucketing down. | britancha, norasmiy |
| It’s coming down hard. | amerikancha, norasmiy |
Demak, raining cats and dogs ni tanib oling, lekin o‘zingiz It’s pouring deng. Ob-havo so‘zlarining o‘zi (drizzle, sleet, humid) ob-havo inglizcha sahifasida.
