5、 new computer - I cant get a handle on the strange keyboard.4) 今日短语表达 a loose cannon的字面意思是“一个没有被固定的大炮”，但其实际意思和打仗没有关系，它被用来形容一个爱招惹麻烦、我行我素、举止无法预料的人。例句Jason is an enthusiastic smart worker, but he can be a bit of a loose cannon. Thats why I get him to approve everything through me before he does it.杰森是个
6、充满热情的聪明人，但他总是我行我素，行为完全无法预料。所以我要求他在做任何事情之前先得到我的同意。Peter is seen as something of a loose cannon by other team members.团队的成员都觉得彼得是一个举止无法预料的人。Shes widely regarded as a loose cannon by those in the company.公司里的人普遍都认为她是一个爱招惹麻烦的人。5) get up on the wrong side of the bed.你有“起床气”吗?早上睡醒后会心情不好、对人发脾气、无精打采、心理阴暗、对叫
7、醒你的人怒目相视甚至大骂恭喜你，这些都是“起床气”的症状“起床气”其实是个很普遍的症状，所以在英语里也有相应的表达方法，是什么呢?wake up/get up on the wrong side of the bed/get out of bed on thewrong side有起床气/起床的方式不对/一大早起来心情不好使用场景：A：Why are you getting mad at me? Did I do anything wrong?A：你干嘛冲我发火啊?我做错了啥?B：Sorry, I got up on the wrong side of the bed.B：不好意思哈，我这是起
