傘使わないですか。でも言われてみれば、アメリカでは傘持ってなかったですね。
大都市じゃないから、いつも車で移動だと雨でも傘って必要ないからかな。
車での移動が多いので雨が降っても傘を使わない
There is no real need to use umbrellas since most people in the US drive cars.
海外で、雨が降っている時なのに誰も傘をささないで、平気で 歩いている状況は日本より見かけると思います。この時に、
「Why is no one using an umbrella? It's raining!」を言えばいいです。
「Why is no one using an umbrella?」の部分は「なんで雨降ってるのに傘ささないんだろう」に相当します。
「It's raining!」の部分は「(雨が降っている)なのに」を表します。
一つの文になると:
Why is no one using an umbrella, even though it's raining?
It's raining, but no one is holding an umbrella!
さしていない人に直接聞きたいなら:
Why aren't you using an umbrella? It's raining!
(何で傘をささっていないの?雨が降っていますよ。)
I wonder why they’re walking without umbrellas in the rain.
おっしゃられている内容は以下のようにも表現できると思いました(*^_^*)
I wonder why they’re not using an umbrella.
「なぜ彼らは傘を使っていないんだろう」
I wonder why they’re walking without umbrellas in the rain.
「なぜ彼らは雨の中傘をささずに歩いているんだろう」
以上です。
少しでも参考になれば幸いです(*^_^*)

I can't imagine why people don't invest a few cents into buying an umbrella!
"Why on earth...." (idiomatic) used to add emphasis to "why" when beginning a question.
"Why on Earth are you trying to accomplish anything here?"
"I can't imagine why...." We use this expression when asking a question about something we may not totally understand:
"I can't imagine why Jane married Paul - they have abosolutely nothing in common."
"Why on earth...." (慣用句)は、質問を始めるときに「なぜ」に重点を置くのに使われます。
"Why on Earth are you trying to accomplish anything here?""いったい何を達成しようとしていますか?"
"I can't imagine why...." この表現は、私たちが完全に理解できないことについて質問するときに使用します。
"I can't imagine why Jane married Paul - they have abosolutely nothing in common."
「ジェーンがポールと結婚した理由が全く理解できません。彼らは何の共通点もありません」

これも、なぜ雨の日に傘を使わないのか不思議に思っていることを表す文です。
"It beats me" why anyone would be " out in the rain" without cover.
I am baffled..why people would want to be "exposed to the elements"?
When " a sudden downpour" arrives... it can catch us unprepared for the inclement weather;-) However some people actually like the rain on their face and even find "walking in the rain" to be pleasant, so they deliberately don't carry an umbrella
Well they so say...: it takes all sorts to make the world"
PS In windy conditions Umbrellas can be very awkward...
and so some people prefer a hooded raincoat!
