The Spanish saying Mal tiempo, buena cara literally translates to "bad weather, good face." It reminds us to face hardship with optimism. The English idiom It's raining cats and dogs figuratively imagines cats and dogs falling from the sky, using absurd imagery to describe extremely heavy rain. If even cats and dogs are falling from the sky, you might as well smile and enjoy the rain.

西班牙语 “Mal tiempo, buena cara”的意思是“天气再坏,也要摆出好脸色”,提醒我们以乐观的态度面对逆境。英语 It's raining cats and dogs,意思是“雨大得如同天上下起猫和狗”,用荒诞的想象来形容倾盆大雨。既然猫狗都从天而降,那就笑着淋雨吧。
