when it rains it poursThings we wish for and that are not coming often start to come in huge quantities, much more than we needed or wanted. — A proverb. 〖谚〗不雨则已,雨则倾盆;不来则已,一来便接蹱而至。◆ When Ted opened his new business, hardly anyone called or sent him e-mails. After a couple of months the calls and e-mails came so fast and so many that he had to hire two secretaries to handle the traffic. He remarked, "When it rains it pours."泰德刚开始营业的时候,几乎没什么人给他打电话或发电子邮件。但几个月下来,电话和电子邮件却来得既多又快,他只好雇用两名秘书来处理通信。他感慨地说:“真是不来则已,一来便应接不睱。” |
