暴露年纪的时候到了。

你有没有听过一首风靡全球的经典英文歌曲

——Don’t Cry For Me Argentina

其中一段歌词是这样的：

It won't be easy. You'll think it strange

我细诉心底话，大家都会惊讶

When I try to explain how I feel. That I still need your love

我过去曾经犯错，却盼你们仍爱我

After all that I've done. You won't believe me

你们未必会相信我！

All you will see is a girl. You once knew

在你们眼中，是当年的旧相识

Although she's dressed up to the nines.

At sixes and sevens with you

尽管锦衣绣袍，生活却混乱不堪，情非得已，只好如此

里面有一句“At sixes and sevens with you"，那么这句话是什么意思呢？

"At sixes and sevens" 是一个英语俚语，它表示状态混乱或没有秩序。

让我们举几个例子~

The office was at sixes and sevens after the boss went on vacation.

老板休假后，办公室变得一片混乱。

The meeting was at sixes and sevens because no one was sure what the agenda was.

会议因为没有人清楚议程而混乱不堪。

The travel plans were at sixes and sevens due to the airline strike.
