"It was a dark and stormy night" = vào một đêm mưa gió bão bùng -> nghĩa (châm biếm) là khi đề cập đến câu chuyện hư cấu đầy kịch tính.

Ví dụ
It was a dark and stormy night when Lilly the Fat Weiner Dog woke up agitated and wanted outside. I stumbled to the door to let her out and a wave of recognition washed over me. That recognition was tangible.

It was a dark and stormy night, and the rolling thunder and flashes of lightning added weight to the intense (căng thẳng) portrayal of life and death at the Arkansas Public Theatre's rehearsal of "The Lifespan of a Fact."

I love this poem (bài thơ) because it’s a good old-fashioned ghost story. Robert Burns perfectly captures the creepy (ghê rợn) atmosphere, and the full poem sends a chill down your spine (lạnh gáy). It’s far more evocative than simply saying “it was a dark and stormy night” — thanks to Burns’s writing, you feel as if you’re in the thick of the storm along with the main character.

It was a dark and stormy night; the rain fell in torrents (dòng chảy xiết) — except at occasional intervals, when it was checked by a violent gust of wind which swept up the streets (for it is in London that our scene lies), rattling (rất nhanh) along the housetops, and fiercely agitating the scanty flame of the lamps that struggled against the darkness.
