   长假终于结束,恣意撒欢的日子也就结束了,等下一个长假就得春节了。上班第一天,你是不是觉得懒懒的不想动,心情不怎么好呢?


  这种“情绪很低”的状态可以用blue来表示,蓝色给人的感觉就是淡淡的忧郁。加上一个s的blues 1 就成了爵士音乐里面的一种。Blues 的特点是节奏慢,曲调很低沉。
  如果你对一个朋友说:“I really have the blues today.”这就是说,你今天因为某种原因情绪很不好。
  情绪不好会怎么做呢?有些人可能就要抱怨诉苦了。像这种行为,我们就可以说这个人是在sing the blues。请看下面这个例子:
  Every time I ask Joe to pay back the money he borrowed from me, he sings the blues about all the things at home he needs money for.
  每当我要乔还他借我的钱的时候,他总是诉苦,说他家里有多少开支。
  换句话说,就是乔用诉说家里的种种困难来做借口,设法不还他欠的钱。我们再来举个例子:
  Don't pay any attention to that guy! He's always singing the blues about how poor he is, but the truth is he has more bucks 2 in the bank than the two of us put together.
  别听那家伙的话。他老是诉苦,说他多么穷。可是,事实上,他银行里的钱比我们两人的加在一起还多。
  即使今天开始上班的你情绪不好,也一定要想开点:不上班,哪有钱赚啊!不赚钱,又怎么支付你美妙的懒惰生活呢!
