如果你看到一个人早上起来脸臭臭的,一副没睡醒的样子,我们可以叫他“咖啡脸”。“咖啡脸”就是用来形容人早晨还没喝咖啡前脸色很差的样子。
Coffee face refers to the ugly face people have in the morning before they drink their coffee. They will be much better once they have a cup of coffee.
“咖啡脸”指的是人早晨还没喝咖啡前摆出的一张臭脸。只需喝一杯咖啡他们就会好得多。
Some people need a cup of strong coffee or tea in the morning to wake them up, without the caffeine in the drinks they will feel listless and irritable.
有些人早上起来需要喝一杯浓咖啡或浓茶才能清醒,没有这些饮料中的咖啡因他们就会感觉无精打采,而且烦躁易怒。
Example:
Husband: Honey you look awful. Are you coming down with something?
丈夫:亲爱的你的脸色看起来很糟。发生什么事了吗?
Wife: No, it's just my coffee face. Brew some coffee for me.
妻子:没什么,这不过是我的“咖啡脸”而已。给我煮点咖啡吧。
