Today on Language Snacks we take a look at the expression get out of the wrong side of the bed.

　　Let’s listen to the dialogue.

　　A: I don’t want to go to work today, I hate it, it’s so boring and this coffee tastes like dish water and …

　　B: What’s the matter with you? Did you get out of the wrong side of the bed?

　　Well, she’s not exactly in a good mood is she? If someone asks you if you got out of the wrong side of the bed, they are indicating that you seem to be in a bad mood.

　　这个短语的意思就是心情不佳，而且很可能一整天情绪都会受到影响。难道早上get out of the wrong side of the bed会影响你一整天？从这个短语看来，可真是那么回事哦。

　　Incidentally, did you know that some people in the UK consider it bad luck if you put your left foot on the floor first when you get out of bed in the morning? How strange!

　　And that’s it for now – join us again for some more Language Snacks. You’ve been listening to English Online – the podcast for English learners in China.
