“蓝色星期一”来自英文 Monday Blues。在很多人看来,blue 不只是“蓝色”,还有“忧郁”的意思。星期一正好是上班上学的第一天,心情低落也就不奇怪了,中文里也叫“星期一症候群”。可不是嘛,周末刚过完,人还没缓过来呢!你也有这种感觉吗?

Translation

“Blue Monday” comes from the English phrase Monday Blues. In many people’s view, blue doesn’t only mean “blue,” it also means “sad” or “down.” Monday happens to be the first day of work or school, so feeling low is not surprising. In Chinese, people also call it “Monday Syndrome.” Isn’t it true? The weekend just ended, and we still haven’t recovered! Do you feel the same?
