Today on Language Snacks we take a look at the expression bad hair day. Let’s listen to the dialogue.

　　A: What’s the matter Sam? You look upset.

　　B: Oh, it’s nothing, I’m just having a bad hair day – everything’s going wrong.

　　Do you ever have days when nothing seems to be going right? Well, I’m sure you do - in English you can call this a bad hair day.

　　A bad hair day基本上和头发没有关系，而是指很不顺利的一天，倒霉的事情接踵而至，而且常常暗指因不顺利而情绪低靡”。

　　Anyway, this morning I overslept, then I was late for work and missed an important meeting, then I left my mobile phone in the restaurant at lunchtime and just before I spilt coffee on my new skirt – this is a real bad hair day!

　　And that’s it for now – join us again for some more Language Snacks
