360°详细解说
从左边下床,还是从右边下床呢你每天早上起床是从左边下床还是从右边下床呢?也许你会说为什么要问这么无聊的问题?你也许没有注意到,不论从左边下床还是从右边下床,每个人总是固定从一边下床的,不会今天从左边下,明天从右边下。当然这无非是个人习惯问题,的确是无关紧要的,但英国人却在这个问题上大作文章。他们认为,一个人如果不按自己的习惯,换一边下床,

容易发脾气(easy to lose one's temper):Don't talk with him.He must have got out of bed from the wrong side and is in a very irritable mood.
你别和他说话。他今天心情不好,火气很大
