If you have ever heard American English, you may have heard this: a day late and a dollar short.

如果你听过美语的话，你可能会听到过这个：a day late and a dollar short（总是迟到或欠准备）。

I know! When people say a day late and a dollar short, they mean you are too late, unprepared, or ....... disorganized.

我明白！当某人说 a day late and a dollar short 时，意思是你总是迟到，欠准备… … 杂乱无章。

Except you're a day late and a dollar short.

除非你晚到一天 差一美元。
