　　Hello,I'm Neil…but where is Feifei?

　　Feifei

　　…sorry I'm late!咱們?cè)撲洝兜氐烙⒄Z(yǔ)》了吧？

　　Neil

　　Yes,indeed–but catch your breath and have a seat.Are you ok?You look a bit of a…mess!

　　Feifei

　　我？你說(shuō)我看著蓬頭垢面？Well,you would be a mess if you had been where I have been.

　　Neil

　　OK calm down…what is that smell?

　　Feifei

　　你是說(shuō)我身上有味道？哎，我剛?cè)チ颂藃ubbish dump“垃圾堆”。

　　Neil

　　The rubbish dump?!Why did you go there?

　　Feifei

　　我去那兒找Rob來(lái)著。因?yàn)橛腥烁艺f(shuō)“Rob was down in the dumps”。

　　Neil

　　Feifei,that’s the last place you will find someone who is down in the dumps.It's just a saying that describes someone who is unhappy,fed up and sometimes feels there is no hope.

　　Feifei

　　Ah I see!原來(lái)，在英語(yǔ)里，“down in the dumps”和“垃圾堆dump”之間沒(méi)有直接關(guān)系?！癉own in the dumps”用來(lái)形容一個(gè)人的心情低落，郁悶、不高興。Being depressed or unhappy is a miserable feeling–a bit like being at a rubbish dump,actually.

　　Neil

　　Exactly.Let's hear some examples.

　　Examples

　　Don't be so down in the dumps,you're going on holiday tomorrow!

　　Oh it's Monday again,no wonder I feel so down in the dumps.

　　Reshma has been so down in the dumps since her boyfriend left her.

　　Feifei

　　“Down in the dumps”形容一個(gè)人“垂頭喪氣，神情沮喪”。So I've had a wasted trip–but I wonder why Rob is'down in the dumps'?

　　Neil

　　It could be because his football team lost…again.

　　Feifei

　　No,he’s used to that happening.It must be something more serious than that.

　　Neil

　　I know–he's feeling sad because he's not presenting this wonderful programme with you–such a great script,isn't it!

　　Feifei

　　There's only one place for this script,Neil–in the dump!

　　Neil

　　In the dump?Ha,very funny!

　　Feifei

　　Bye.

　　Neil

　　Bye.
