BBC英語:Bad Hair Day 心煩意亂

字號:

John: Hello, welcome to Real English from BBC Learning English. I’m John.
    Helen: 大家好,我是 Helen.
    John: Today we’re going to look at words and phrases that you might not find in your dictionary.
    Helen: 在地道英語里,希望大家可以學到現(xiàn)代英式英語中經(jīng)常出現(xiàn)的流行詞匯和新鮮表達。John, 今天你給我們帶 來的新詞是什么呢?
    John: Today’s phrase is, bad hair day.
    Helen: 壞發(fā)型日, bad hair day. So what does it mean then John?
    John: It describes the type of day you are experiencing, one where your hair just looks awful! The phrase has been extended a bit, to mean a day when everything seems to go wrong.
    Helen: Mmmm, I know what that’s like. A bad hair day, 今天的頭發(fā)造型很糟糕. 其實就是說今天的心情不好,什么事情好像干起來都不順。如果你的頭發(fā)亂糟糟的,那么回影響到整天的情緒。
    John: Here’s someone having a bad hair day.
    Example
    A: I woke up this morning and thought, today is going to be horrible.
    B: Oh yes?
    A: And as for my hair, it looked awful!
    B: Sounds like you’re having a bad hair day.
    John: Doesn’t sound good, does it?
    Helen: No, and you know John, I think I’m having a bad hair day.
    John: Things not going well?
    Helen: Nothing seems to be working out, and as for my hair, what a mess!
    John: You’re really having a bad hair day Helen. Well you’ve been listening to Real English from BBC Learning English. Do join us next time.
    Helen: 我們下次節(jié)目再會。
