It never rains but it pours這句成語翻到中文就是“禍不單行”的意思。我們舉個例子來看看It never rains but it pours這個成語在句子里是怎么用的：

I really feel sorry for Mike. First his wife left him. Next he lost his job. Then somebody stole his car. Like they say, it never rains but it pours. 我真是為邁克感到難受。先是他的太太把他扔了，然后，他又丟了工作，接著，他的車又被人偷了。這真是像人們所說的，禍不單行呀。

不過，看來倒霉的人似乎還不止他一個。下面說話的人也是夠倒霉的：

Oh boy! You can’t believe the trouble I had today. My alarm clock didn’t go off, so I missed biology class. Then, I lost my home work assignment for math. I invited my girlfriend to lunch and after we ate, I found I’d left my wallet at home. It never rains but it pours.

咳，你真不會相信今天我有多倒霉。首先，我的鬧鐘沒有響，所以我沒有上生物課。然后，我又把我的數學作業給丟了。我請女朋友吃午飯，吃晚飯我才發現我把錢包忘在家里了。呵，這可真是禍不單行吶。
