今天我们要给大家讲解两个由cloud这个字组成的习惯用语。大家肯定都知道cloud就是天上的云。天上满布乌云的时候，天空往往就变得很暗淡。我们要讲的第一个俗语就是这个意思。
Cloud这个字是名词，意思是云。Cloud后面加一个字母 y 就成了形容词，意思是：多云。但是，它的含意也可以解释为：暗淡、不乐观。下面是一个电台播音员在发表他对国际贸易前景的看法：
例句-1: "When you look at all the trouble spots around the globe right now, the future of international trade looks very cloudy."
在天上多云的时候，许多东西也不像阳光灿烂的时候看的那么清楚。下面这句话就是一个例子。美国国会两院对每一个新的提案都要经过讨论，然后投票通过。一名记者问一位参议员国会会不会通过某个提案。这位参议员回答说：
例句-2: "I'd have to say the chances are cloudy. We have quite a bit of support for this bill but we're not sure that we have enough votes to get it passed."
不管是美国人，还是中国人，我们每个人恐怕都有白日做梦的时候。有的时候，我们一边走路，一边在想心事，或者是一边做什么事，一边在想其他事情，身边发生什么事全然没有注意到。美国人把这叫做：in the clouds。
In the clouds可以解释为：心不在焉。请听下面这个例子，这是一个人在说她的朋友：
例句-3: "Sally is my best friend but she walked right past me today, and didn't even say hello. Her head certainly was in the clouds--she looked like her mind was a thousand miles away."
下面的例子讲的是一个学生。这个学生上课的时候没有注意听讲，他说：
例句-4: "I was really embarrassed--the teacher asked me a question and I didn't even hear him; I was daydreaming and my head was in the clouds."
