Решение
- be furious — «быть в ярости» (о человеке); violent — «жестокий», о человеке в таком контексте не подходит: a furious [ˈfjʊəriəs].
- pleasant (приятный), cooled them — лёгкий ветерок: a breeze [briːz]; gale — шторм, он не освежает, а опасен.
- damp air — «сырой воздух»: b misty [ˈmɪsti] — туманный, влажный; hazy [ˈheɪzi] — дымка, обычно от жары.
- soaked right through — «промокли насквозь» от ливня: a downpour [ˈdaʊnpɔː]; drizzle — мелкий дождик, так не промокнешь.
- thunder showers [ˈʃaʊəz] — «грозовые ливни»; blizzards — метели, они не бывают с грозой: a showers.
- wind started howling — «ветер начал завывать»; pouring говорят о дожде: a howling [ˈhaʊlɪŋ].
