地道表達(dá)
a bad hair day
1. 解詞釋義
A bad hair day的意思是指“不順利的一天”。而且并不是“不順利”這三個(gè)字就能囊括其意思。當(dāng)你盯著一個(gè)糟糕無比的發(fā)型時(shí)，你的心情一定沮喪透頂，所以，a bad hair day還暗指“不順利的經(jīng)歷給受害者的情緒造成了嚴(yán)重的影響或帶來很大的心理壓力”。其英文解釋為：People sometimes say they are having a badhair day when they do not feel very happy or relaxed, especially because their hair does notlook good.

他那天真是處處碰壁。第一件倒霉事是車子發(fā)動(dòng)不了，于是上班遲到了。接著他的電腦出了故障。隨后他又忘了跟一位重要顧客有午餐約會(huì)，所以回家時(shí)他頭疼得要命。
e.g. I knew it would be a bad hair day when I learned I'd failed my English exam. In historyclass I found I'd left the paper at home that was due today. At lunch I spilled a cup of coffee allover myself with no time to go back and change.
