"rain check" is a spoken language that Americans often speak. When watching American TV series or American movies, they may often encounter the expression "rain check". What does this mean? Could it be to check if it rains? If you think so, it would be embarrassing!
1.Rain check
Rain check means "One day; postponement; another day". Americans like to watch baseball games, and baseball games held in open-air venues will be greatly affected by weather factors. If heavy rain suddenly falls during the game, the game will have to be suspended. The audience can receive the "rain check". When the game is rescheduled, you can enter the game with this. Since then, "rain check" has the extended meaning of "delay; another day; another day", which is widely used in daily life.
Can I take a rain check? Can
be another day?
I'll take a rain check.
I plan to postpone it.
Until today, "rain check" still has the meaning of credentials. Some foreign merchants may soon be out of stock when they offer discounts, but the merchants may give consumers a "rain check", so that when they arrive in two days, they can still buy special prices with this "rain check". Although a little profit has been lost, it can increase consumers' favorability to merchants.
