Helen: 在地道英语里，希望大家可以学到现代英式英语中经常出现的流行词汇和新鲜表达。John, 今天你给我们带来的新词是什么呢？ John: Today’s phrase is, bad hair day. Helen: 坏发型日, 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, 今天的头发造型很糟糕. 其实就是说今天的心情不好，什么事情好像干起来都不顺。如果你的头发乱糟糟的，那么回影响到整天的情绪。 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.
