9.be down in the dumps 垂頭喪氣，神情沮喪
the dumps在非正規的口語表達方式中的意思是“憂郁”或“沮喪”。be down in the dumps常指“悶悶不樂”或“打不起精神”，也可引申為“垂頭喪氣，精神沮喪”。
A: You're down in the dumps. What's happened? 你看上去沮喪不堪。出什么事了？
B: I had a quarrel with our boss's secretary. She's been on her high horse these days. 我和老板的秘書吵了一架。這幾天她總是盛氣凌人。
A: Maybe she was only taking it out on you. Secretaries have a lot of pressure, too. 也許她僅僅是向你發泄。秘書的壓力也很大。
B: But she jumped down my throat for no reason at all. I could not put up with her. 但她無理由地斥責我，我無法容忍。
