　　Jen: (Screaming and shouting)

　　Li: She has a face like thunder. If you have a face like thunder, it means that you are very very angry indeed. 火冒三丈。Jen definitely seems angry!

　　Jen: (In the background) Its so unfair. When things go wrong for me, they always go badly wrong. It never rains but it pours!

　　Li: Theres another weather idiom. Did you hear it? Jen said it never rains but it pours. 漢語里有句話叫禍不單行，誰攤上這種事都不會高興的。I wonder what Jens problem is? Oh, here she comes!

　　Jen: Hi Li. Sorry Im late. Im so upset. The boss said that I would get a promotion if I finished all of my work by midday. I finished everything by 12 oclock and now the boss is ignoring my emails about the promotion and wont talk to me.

　　Li: I think youre just chasing rainbows, Jen. 你竟是想好事兒，那明明是不可能的嗎!在漢語里我們說這是追逐彩虹，癡人說夢!
