Picture a stretch of time — a day, a whole season — with rain running through it, so that the rain is what you would name it by. That is rainy. English also uses a rainy day as the standard picture of a bad patch you cannot predict, which is where saving for one comes from.
可以想成:一段時間裡從頭到尾都有雨——一天、一個星期、一整季——雨多到你要形容這段日子時,第一個想到的就是它。這就是 rainy。英文也習慣拿「下雨天」當作「難過的日子」的代表畫面:出不了門、賺不到錢,所以才有 save for a rainy day 這種說法。
