形容一个给人的第一印象极差、但本质很好的人,或者指表面看不出来,实则深藏不露的高手。
例句:Dr. Bruce is a spaz, but hes one of the best doctors I know. You wouldnt know it by looking at him...good lenses, bad frames.
Mid-day crisis
午间危机
When one is in a desperate need for a siesta because they become extremely tired in the afternoon and coffee isnt cutting it any longer.

Nearsighted Date
近视相亲
As opposed to a blind date, where you have no idea what the other person looks like, a nearsighted date is one where youve seen a photo or chatted via web before meeting in person.

This can often lead to disappointment if one person or the other has supplied misleading documentation.
如果对方没有给你真实照片或提供了虚假信息,nearsighted date一样有见光死的可能。
