就像之前提过的一样，英语中颜色有其他特别的寓意，如 black and blue，寓意“青一块紫一块”，还有 baby blues。blue 有一个非正式的表示忧郁的意思，baby blues 不是婴儿忧郁的意思，可以意为“产后抑郁，产后沮丧”，寓意：

the depression that is caused to new mothers after childbirth

分娩后对新妈妈造成的抑郁

anxious behaviour following childbirth.

分娩后的焦虑行为

例如：

Do not speak to her in a rude tone, she is just going through some baby blues right now and needs compassion from you.

别用粗鲁的语调跟她说话，她正在承受产后抑郁，需要你的同情。

解析：短语动词 go through 的其中一个意思是“经历，承受”，又如：

Shes been going through a bad patch recently.

她最近很不走运。

Mothers often go through a phase of baby blues after their bundle of joy arrives.

母亲们欣喜若狂之后，往往会有一段产后抑郁期。

解析：bundle of 可以表示数量多或是大，例如：a bundle of nerves 神经紧张，a bundle of benefits 大量福利，等等。

Baby blues do not have a definitive remedy but if your condition is severe then a visit to a psychiatrist will do you good. This was the advice that her gynecologist gave to her when she spoke about extreme anxiety issues.

产后抑郁症没有明确的治疗方法，但如果病得很严重，那么最好是去看心理医生。这是妇科医生在她谈及极度抑郁的问题时给她的建议。

There is no such thing as chronic baby blues. It passes with time.

没有所谓的慢性产后抑郁，它会随着时间的推移而自愈。

Nowadays even new dads face baby blues, it is a serious condition according to many studies.

现在，即使是新爸爸也会面临产后抑郁，根据许多研究，这是一种严重的疾病。

解析：nowadays 是副词，意为“现今，现在，目前”，注意没有 now a days 的写法。

若要表达心情不好，可以使用颜色单词 blue，例如：

I feel blue today.

我今天心情不好。
