Are you a gold miner?

Listen to the VOA special "I am under the weather."

Prologue:[ˈproʊlɔːɡ]

Sometimes American English doesn't seem to make sense like this:I am under the weather. "under the weather" what could that mean?

Conversation:[ˌkɑːnvərˈseɪʃn]

"Are you okey?""Um,not really.I feel a little bit under the weather.""You should go home and get some rest.""Yeah, that's a good idea."

Illustration: [ˌɪləˈstreɪʃn]

If you stand "under the weather",you might have a dark storm cloud over you head and you might not feel very well.If you say you are under the weather,it means you are sick or not feeling well.This phrase comes from the sailors at sea.If a ship was in a bad weather and its sailors were sick,the crew would go below the deck to get out from "under the weather" to try to feel better.
