Take a rain check

Take a rain check

Take/do a rain check:used to refuse an offer politely, with the implication that one may take it up at a later date. (改天约、换个时间)

中文释义:
这个短语的起源是出自美国的棒球文化,如果球赛进行时天公不作美,骤然倾盆大雨的不得不暂停,观众可领“雨票”,球赛改期举行时可凭之入场。由此衍生出了将“take a rain check”使用在约定推迟的情况下。



英语习语俚语:"Take a rain check"情景会话:

Susan:Good news. I finished my book. So I thought to celebrate you could take me out to lunch.
Mike:Susan. - Can we do a rain check? We're looking at the plans for her house.



Lynette:Didn't we already do it tonight?
Tom:No.
Lynette:Oh, they're all starting to blur. Look, I worked till 3:00 a.m. Last night.
------>> I'm exhausted. How about we take a rain check?
Tom:A rain check?  
Lynette:Mm.
Tom:This isn't baseball. Every night for 30 days... that's the Law.



Tom:I was just gonna call you. I'm on my way to the airport. I've got to get to Montreal tonight on the jet.
Lynette:What? No. No, this is our celebration night.
------>> Can't you reschedule?
Tom:I'm sorry. I can't. I'm a hero for landing this meeting. I got to be there.
------>> Fine. I'll take another rain check.
