someone's day 好事情发生的一天，

Today is my day. 今天我有好事发生。/ 今天很顺利。

这节课，就把这句话加上not

Today is not my day.

意思就是：今天我过得很不顺，很不走运，压力很大，麻烦连连……

not my day

not your day

not his day

not her day

not someone's day 表示某一天某人发生很多不好的事情，很不顺利。Not a good day.

比如，忘记带家门钥匙，被锁在外面 

get locked 被锁住

lock 动词，上锁，锁住

out of the apartment 公寓外，房间外

apartment 公寓，房间

I got locked out of the apartment. 

我被锁在公寓外面。

* 可以换成其他地点名词，比如办公室 office，

I got locked out of the office. 

我被锁在办公室外面。

再加上

This is just not my day.

真是太不顺了。

两句连在一起

I got locked out of the apartment. This is just not my day.

我被锁在公寓外面。太不顺了。

请大家跟我读

I got locked out of the apartment. This is just not my day.

还可以加上感叹：我不能相信……I can't believe....

I can't believe I got locked out of the apartment. This is just not my day.

我不敢相信我被锁在公寓外面了。太不顺了。

所以如果哪天很不顺利，就想

It just wasn't your day.

只是不顺利而已，没什么大不了。

Tomorrow will be your day.
