a bad hair day
1. 解词释义
A bad hair day的意思是指“不顺利的一天”。而且并不是“不顺利”这三个字就能囊括其意思。当你盯着一个糟糕无比的发型时，你的心情一定沮丧透顶，所以，a bad hair day还暗指“不顺利的经历给受害者的情绪造成了严重的影响或带来很大的心理压力”。其英文解释为：People sometimes say they are having a bad hair day when they do not feel very happy or relaxed, especially because their hair does not look good.
2. 拓展例句
e.g. All this fuss is because Carol is having a bad hair day.
就因为卡萝尔今天不太顺心，所以弄得大家鸡飞狗跳。
e.g. I give up and don't try. Every day is a bad hair day.
我彻底放弃了。觉得每天都那么糟糕。
e.g. Did I have a bad hair day! First, my car wouldn't start so I was late for work. Next my computer crashed. Then I forgot a lunch date with an important client. So I went home with a terrible headache.
他那天真是处处碰壁。第一件倒霉事是车子发动不了，于是上班迟到了。接着他的电脑出了故障。随后他又忘了跟一位重要顾客有午餐约会，所以回家时他头疼得要命。
e.g. I knew it would be a bad hair day when I learned I'd failed my English exam. In history class I found I'd left the paper at home that was due today. At lunch I spilled a cup of coffee all over myself with no time to go back and change.
当我看说自己英文考试不及格的时候，就知道今天是个倒霉的日子。在历史课上我发现把今天得交的作业拉在家里了。吃午饭的时候我又打翻了一杯咖啡，溅得满身都是却没时间回家去换衣服。
