托福词汇之“恍惚周一Mondaze”
2015-11-24来源:互联网
Mondaze is the hazy or dazed feeling you get on Monday, usually when havingto go back to work after a pleasant or crazy weekend.
Mondaze指周末狂欢之后,面临周一要上班这件事感受到的恍惚和茫然,我们称之为“恍惚的周一”。
The term is a portmanteau of Monday and daze where the word daze meansconfusion and distress.
该词是Monday和daze两个词组合而成,daze可做动词和名词,指“茫然、迷惑”或者“使感到茫然、迷惑”。
这个Mondaze是不是跟中文中有些人调侃的“Monday就是忙day”有异曲同工之妙呢?
For example:
I locked my keys in my car because I was in a total mondaze. I hate thestart of a new work week.
我把钥匙锁车里了,都是因为该死的恍惚的周一。我讨厌一周工作的开始。
