Believe it or not, a rain check is not a weather report. A rain check is a small piece of paper. When can you get a rain check? Well, if you are going to a ball game or some other open-air activity and it is called off because of rain or some other reason, you may receive a rain check. With it you may go there again without paying.
You may also receive a rain check at a shop. As you know, sometimes when you go to a shop to buy something which is on sale, it is sold out. You may ask the assistant to give you a rain check and with it you can go again next time to buy what you need at the sale price.
Here’s another way to use this word. If someone invites you to go somewhere, you would like to go very much but cannot, you may say “May I have a rain check?” This means, “I will e next time.” But you can never say “May I take a rain check?” when your teacher gives you some homework.

网友回答
(答案→)F
解析：本文叙述了rain check是流行口语，当在露天举行的球类比赛或户外活动时，如比赛或活动在进行时天不作美，突然之间下起了倾盆大雨，比赛不得不取消，这时观众可以领取“雨票”，或用原票存根作为“雨票”(rain check)，即球赛改期举行时可凭之入场。rain check这句话后来有了引伸意思，日常生活中普遍应用。 比方说有人请你去某个地方，假如你刚巧因事不能奉陪，你可用婉谢的口吻说：May I take a rain check？ 直译是：可以给我一张雨票吗？ 地道英语的引伸义是：这次抱歉不能赴约，下次有请必到。
