Why the long face?

Why the long face?

an informal expression to ask why someone looks sad or upset.

(非正式)詢問某人為何失落或難過的表達方式。

long face就像我們中文中常說的:拉著個臉,拉長臉,板著臉...總之都是臉色不大好看的形容方式。英語口語中人們就會用Why the long face?來問你是不是最近有什麼煩心事兒。

例句:

1) You've just got a new job a new man – you should be happy! Why the long face?

你剛找到新工作和新男友,你應該開心呀!為啥又不高興了呢?

2)A: Why the long face?

怎麼了拉著個臭臉?

B: It's difficult to explain.

很難解釋

A: Don't think too much.Maybe tomorrow will be different.

別想太多,也許明天你的想法又不一樣了。
