"Queen's weather" = Thời tiết của nữ hoàng -> Thời tiết tốt, đặc biệt cho một ngày có hoạt động ngoài trời theo kế hoạch. Đây là cụm liên quan đến những lần ra mắt công chúng đầu tiên của nữ hoàng Victoria trúng vào ngày có thời tiết đẹp.
Ví dụ
They called it “the Queen’s weather”: the celebration, on 22 June 1897, of Queen Victoria’s diamond jubilee (lễ kỷ niệm kim cương), marking 60 years since she ascended the throne (lên ngai vàng). And it was indeed a fine, sunny and very warm day by June standards, the temperature reaching 27C across much of the southern half of Britain.
"Prudence found her voice first. On such a day as this," she said, "the Queen saw Milford Sound. They brought her around by sea, she had embarked at Bluff, past Invercargill. The Gothic lay just out there – it's terrifically deep (sâu cực kỳ). It could have been shrouded (bao phủ) in mist (sương mù, màn che). They call this Queen's weather now, I believe."
Many were veterans of curbside (vỉa hè) overnighting, experts at insulating bodies with wads (cuộn, số lượng lớn tài liệu) of newspaper (next day, 16 tons were picked up near Buckingham Palace alone), at defending home base while whisking children to the nearest lavatory (nhà xí). Rain, driven by east winds, came down in cloudbursts. The crowds bailed this pneumonia (viêm phổi) setup as a happy omen (điềm tốt). “The Queen’s weather—not ‘arf!” they said proudly. “She’ll know she’s ‘ome again!” (It rained on Elizabeth’s wedding day, on her first ceremonial appearance after accession, at her coronation (lễ đăng quang, lên ngôi), and when she departed on her tour.)
