意思
Describing rainy weather
文化背景
Spilling water for luck: When someone leaves for a big event, Bulgarians spill water in front of them so their luck 'flows like water'. Rain is often personified in folk songs as a blessing from heaven that ensures a good harvest of grapes and wheat. In cities like Sofia, rain is a common excuse for heavy traffic, and you'll often hear people complain about 'the rain and the traffic' in one breath. Farmers still look at the 'St. George's Day' rain as particularly valuable, saying 'Every drop of St. George's rain is a gold coin'.
