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代英式英語中經常出現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。
