Under the weather 身体不适
    2023-03-07  08:53    Shenzhen Daily

A: How about going to a movie tonight?

B: Rain check. I don’t feel like hanging out today. I’m feeling a bit under the weather.

Note: This idiom means “to feel ill or sick.” Not surprisingly, the origin of the idiom “under the weather” can be traced back to maritime sources. Originally it meant “to feel seasick or adversely affected by bad weather.” In the old days, sailors who weren’t feeling well were often sent below the deck, so they could get out of the weather.
