☞ The light went off as we entered the room. 我们进屋时灯灭了。
(2) go off还可以表示"变质,变坏"。

(1)wait是不及物动词,须加上介词for再跟宾语。
☞ I’m waiting for a bus. 我正在等公共汽车。
(2)rain heavily下大雨,表示"下大雨/雪"用heavily修饰,相当于hard,修饰动词用副词。

虽然雨下得很大,他们还在努力地工作。
注意:形容风刮得大时常用strongly。
☞ The wind is blowing strongly with lots of sand. 风猛烈地刮着,带起了许多沙子。

rain作名词意为"雨",作动词意为"下雨",表示雨的大小用hard/heavy/light,不可以用large/small来修饰。
☞ There was a heavy rain last night. 昨晚下了一场大雨。
☞ It is raining heavily/hard. 天在下大雨。
