January和May这两个耳熟能详的月份，当它们组合在一起时，其含义却别有深意。
January and May：逆龄恋的代名词
January and May源自一个趣味典故，故事中的角色分别是名叫January的男爵和名叫May的年轻姑娘。男爵在60岁高龄时迎娶了年轻貌美的May。他们的这段姻缘引起了人们的调侃，January and May也因此成为了“逆龄恋”的代名词。
He is 19 years older than Mary. It’s a January and May marriage.
比Mary年长19岁的他，与她的婚姻可称为老夫少妻。
也可以用December and May来表示，因为December是年末，与老年、晚年的意象契合。May-December romance则特指忘年恋。真爱不分年龄嘛！
To have January chicks：老来得子
月份与俚语的联系不止于此。To have January chicks并非“一月生小鸡”，而是指“老来得子”。与January and May中男爵老来得妻子的故事相呼应。
His parents gave birth to him when they were fifty-five. He is really a January chicks.
他的父母在55岁时生下他，他着实是位老来得子的孩子。
A cold day in July：小概率事件
七月酷暑难耐，怎会是“七月中寒冷的一天”呢？这个俚语用来形容极不可能或极小概率发生的事情。
Joe got an A+ this semester？That’s a cold day in July.
Joe这个学期得了A+？这简直不可能。
That Monday morning feeling：周一综合症
字面意思为“星期一早上的感觉”，实际含义是“让人不开心的周一综合症”。想象一下自己周一上班的心情，相信你就能体会到它的意思了。上班犹如上坟，这种unhappy的情绪，希望大家都能处理好，不要过度影响工作效率哦~
I’m feeling the Monday blues.
我感到周一的压力。
