  • I can't seem to catch any cab today!

  • Can't get any taxi

まずは “can’t seem to”は「○○できないようだ」という意味でよく使われている表現です。 天気が悪い日は、と言いたい場合は最後の“today” を“on a bad weather day”と直訳的な表現をそのまま続ければいいと思います。 一方、cab は別の単語で taxi といってもいいですね。 また catch の代わりに get というのも間接的な表現のもう一つの言い方です。

  • I can't catch/get a taxi!

他のアンカーの方が回答されている通り、タクシーを捕まえる時の動詞は catch または get を使います。 It's very inconvenient that I can't catch a taxi easily when the weather is bad!! 訳:天気がわるい日はタクシーがなかなかつかまらなくて不便です。 参考になれば幸いです☆

  • I can't catch a cab

  • I can't find an empty cab

  • It's impossible to find a cab in this weather

I can't catch a cab=タクシーが捕まらない タクシーを捕まえる、と日本語で言うのと同じで英語でもcatch(=捕まえる)と表現します。タクシーの事はtaxiかcabと言います。 I can't find an empty cab=空車が見つからない empty=空いてる It's impossible to find a cab in this weather=この天気でタクシーを捕まえるのは無理だよ 終電の雨の日を思い出して泣けて来ますね。

  • There never seem to be any taxis when it rains.

  • You'll never get a taxi if it's raining!

  • Getting a taxi when it's raining is like looking for gold dust!

Looking for gold dust = Extremely difficult to find
Looking for gold dust=見つけるのが非常に難しい

  • Trying to get a taxi in bad weather is like trying to find a needle in a haystack!

  • Its almost impossible to find a taxi in bad weather.

  • This weather is terrible and there is not a taxi in sight.

"Trying to get a taxi in bad weather is like trying to find a needle in a haystack!" A needle in a haystack is a common expression to talk about things that seem impossible.A haystack is a packed pile of hay so you can imagine how difficult it would be to find a needle.A similar expression is : "To squeeze a camel through a needlepoint." "Its almost impossible to find a taxi in bad weather." To say it is " almost impossible" is to recognize that something is very difficult to achieve.

  • It is difficult to catch a taxi when the weather is bad.

  • All of the taxis are very busy when the weather is bad.

"It is difficult to catch a taxi when the weather is bad." Difficult means it is hard to do. "All of the taxis are very busy when the weather is bad." This explains that when the weather is bad and it is raining lots of people use taxis so it is difficult to find one that is free.
"It is difficult to catch a taxi when the weather is bad." Difficultはそれをするのが困難だということを意味しています。 "All of the taxis are very busy when the weather is bad." これは天気が悪い時や雨が降っている時はたくさんの人がタクシーを使うので空いているのを見つけるのは難しいということを意味しています。

  • I cannot " Hail a taxi" when the weather is inclement...

  • When the weather " takes a turn for the worse" Taxis are all busy!

In English we say " I want to HAIL A TAXI ( or CAB)". Unfortunately supply & demand are often imbalanced, especially when the weather is not good...On cold, rainy or snowy days, all the taxi services are oversubscribed!
例:I cannot " Hail a taxi" when the weather is inclement... 「天気が悪いのでタクシーが捕まりません。」 例:When the weather " takes a turn for the worse" Taxis are all busy! 「天気が悪くなってきたら、タクシーは大忙しだ。」 英語では、タクシーに乗りたい時は”I want to HAIL A TAXI ( or CAB)”(直訳だとタクシー捕まえたい)といいます。 天気が悪くなるなど(例えば、とても寒い日、雨、雪など)、タクシーの需要と供給のバランスが崩れると、とたんに捕まえるのが難しくなります。

  • It is super hard to hail a cab in bad weather.

  • Getting a taxi in bad weather is very hard.

If you would like to explain to someone that hailing a cab in bad weather can be very hard, you can say something like "It is super hard to hail a cab in bad weather." or "Getting a taxi in bad weather is very hard.".
タクシーが捕まらないことを以下のように言うことができます。 "It is super hard to hail a cab in bad weather." 悪天候の中タクシーを捕まえるのはすごく大変だ。) "Getting a taxi in bad weather is very hard." (悪天候の中タクシーを捕まえるのはとても大変だ。)
