Question

cloud n.云；阴影 (1) 云是天空中的水汽团。(2) 有乌云的时候，就知道快下雨了。(3) 他的突然离去给我们的计划投下一层阴影。(4) 她父亲的死讯是她愉快的一年中唯一伤心的事。 Clouds form when air rises and cools and the moisture in it condenses into a visible form. Any similar billowy mass is also a cloud, like a cloud of smoke over your campfire or a cloud of dust after your car peels out of the driveway. If you're gloomy or morose, someone might say there's a cloud over you — a figurative cloud of sadness. On the other hand, if you're "on cloud nine," you couldn't be happier.
