生活英语|January feeling 1月心情

January feeling refers to an emotional state characterized by feelings of optimism and possibility, particularly at the start of a new year.

1月心情是指新年伊始之际，对所有抱持乐观态度，觉得所有事都充满各种可能性的心理状况。

There's another sense of this expression that means almost the opposite: An emotional state characterized by feelings of melancholy^{1 and lethargy, particularly early in the year when the holidays are over and a long winter looms2. But this sense is quite old, dating to at least the mid3 1920s.}

该词还有几乎相反的另一种使用方法：指大家处于忧郁悲伤、无精打采的心理状况，特别当大家年初休完假，仍处于漫长冬天的时候。不过，这种使用方法较为陈旧，至少可追溯到十九世纪20年代中期。
