For instance, stratus clouds-those unlovable, featureless sprawls that give us our overcast skies, happen when moisture-bearing updrafts lack the oomph to break through a level of more stable air above, and instead spread out, like smoke hitting a ceiling.

比如,要是携带水汽的上升气流无法突破上面比较稳定的一层空气,就会像烟碰到了天花板那样向外展开,于是就形成了层云一那种不大讨人喜欢,毫无特色,弄得天空阴沉沉的云层。
