每日一句：She was down in the dumps.( 8.19 )
She was down in the dumps.她心情坏透了。down in the dumps指心情不好。
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
听过 Down in the dumps 这成语吗？
倒不如先看例句，再看看你们能否猜到它的意思！Shirley was down in the dumps until her boyfriend arrived. 你是否不明白：为何雪莉在等男朋友时，她的头会挤进垃圾推当中呢？想起来也觉得很滑稽。
Dumps 是垃圾，而这字用作复数时，有“忧郁，沮丧”( depressed or sad ) 的意思。Down in the dumps 直译为“掉进了忧郁之中”，整句就是指闷闷不乐，垂头丧气，与垃圾一点关系也没有。
以上例句就是形容雪莉在男朋友来到前，样子很不高兴，或许是等男朋友等得太久吧！与此相关的短语有：Down in the mouth，这个短语也是形容精神特别紧张的状况。
例如：Lily was down in the mouth when she knew her grandmother was sick.莉莉知道外婆生病，心情极度低落。 ```
