俗话说,新年新迹象。在人们的观念里,随着新年的到来,周遭事物也跟着焕然一新,为我们带来希望和快乐。由于新年伊始是一月,这种乐观心理也因此得名“一月心情”。
January feeling refers to an emotional state characterized by feelings of optimism and possibility, particularly at the start of a new year.
“一月心情”是指新年伊始之际,对一切抱持乐观态度,认为所有事都充满各种可能性的心理状态。
For example:
Is it just me or are you all looking forward to the end of 2015? Something about that fresh new January feeling — all things seem possible!
是只有我一个人有这种感觉,还是你们大家都在期盼迎来2015年年末?这是某些关于全新的“一月心情”,即一切似乎皆有可能!
There's another sense of this expression that means almost the opposite: An emotional state characterized by feelings of melancholy and lethargy, particularly early in the year when the holidays are over and a long winter looms. But this sense is quite old, dating to at least the mid 1920s.
该词还有几乎相反的另一种用法:指人们处于忧郁悲伤、无精打采的心理状态,尤其当人们年初休完假,仍处于漫长冬季的时候。不过,这种用法较为陈旧,至少可追溯到十九世纪20年代中期。
For example:
Anyone who wants to lose "that January feeling" and substitute for that exhiliration and reinforced vitality, I recommend to go to the Exhibition of Canadian Art, open at present at the City Art Gallery.
我推荐那些想摆脱“一月心情”,恢复幸福快乐、生机盎然的状态的人去参观目前正在城市美术馆展出的“加拿大艺术展”。
