【英语早间课堂】话说地道美语 Lesson 15(5)(在线收听

 Lesson Fifteen ( the Third Lecture)我的朋友,“话说地道美语”等待您很久了,我是Juliet,或许您也等待“话说地道美语”很久了,因为我们大家都度过了一个长假。现在的桂林,丹枫迎秋,金桂飘香,金风玉露,秋高气爽,秋阳杲杲,霜天红叶,稻谷飘乡——好一派亮丽的秋景!

I didn't get up on the wrong side of the bed every day. I was in the senventh heaven all the time, spending a seven-day holiday. And did you not get out of bed on the wrong side each day? I am hoping that you didn't wake up on the wrong side of the bed. Well , whatever your answer is "Yes." or "No", it passed. A new day comes and we must go back to work or study.
【课堂热身】
大家还记得在第15课中讲述的“to express someone is unhappy (the whole day)”的非常有趣的而且还充满着迷信色彩的说法吗?Actually, I've talked of them at the start of today's programme. So, what are they? They are: get up on the wrong side of the bed; get out of bed on the wrong side; wake up on the wrong side of the bed. In addition, we have two short sentences to say it. They are "You get out of bed the wrong way." or "You get out of bed with the left leg foremost." 以上个习语和2个短句都是可以描述一个人(整天或者是一天中的一段时间或者是某时候)心境糟糕,心绪烦乱,心烦意乱,情绪不佳等等不好的心理状况。
【课堂详解】
In fact, we have much more colourful expressions to give a description of your state of unhappiess. So, let's move to the third lecture in Lesson Fifteen.

3. in ill humour (out of humour)You must be in ill humour to be so cross about so small a thing.
你一定是心情不好才为一件小事而发这么大的气。
