[00:00.59] Hi I'm Jennifer and I'm waiting for Helen. I did see her in the corridor earlier, and she was looking a bit unhappy. Wait, here she is.
[00:12.10] Hi Helen.
[00:13.27] Hi Jen.
[00:14.42] What's the matter, Helen? Why the long face?
[00:17.66] What's wrong with my face?
[00:19.45] Nothing's wrong with your face, except that it looks a bit upset.
[00:23.30] But you just said I've got a long face.
[00:25.26] No, what I said was.
[00:27.80] You think I've got a strange face. I knew I shouldn't have worn my hair like this today.
[00:33.12] No, I asked you, "Why the long face?"
[00:36.55] Is it my nose? Is it too big? Or maybe my chin is the wrong shape. Maybe I should just wear a big bag over my head.
[00:43.62] No, no, no. That's not what I meant. First of all, you look lovely today.
[00:49.57] So what did you mean?
[00:50.61] In English, the expression "why the long face" is used as an informal way of asking someone what's wrong if they look upset.
[00:57.66] So there's nothing wrong with my face?
[00:59.43] No, there isn't. Let's hear some examples of the phrase in use.
[01:04.54] You've just got a new job, a new house and a new man. you should be happy. Why the long face?
[01:10.96] Hey there, don't look so sad. Why the long face?
[01:16.18] So "why the long face" is just another way of asking "what's the matter".
[01:20.66] Exactly. You could also say "what's up".
[01:23.89] That's very simple. You could say "what's wrong" too.
[01:26.90] So what IS wrong? Why do you look so miserable?
[01:29.80] I've just had a really bad day. Everything has gone wrong. First I lost my car keys, then I was late for a meeting and I fell over and landed in a puddle on my way.
[01:42.88] It was a horrible day.
[01:44.31] It sounds awful. I know, how about I tell you a joke to cheer you up. You'll like this one.
[01:50.77] OK, why not. Let's hear it.
[01:53.61] A horse walks into a bar. The barman says, "why the long face?"
[02:01.26] So the horse was unhappy? What's funny about that?
[02:06.60] The barman says to the horse "Why the long face?"
[02:10.65] Why would a horse be in a bar?
[02:13.50] It doesn't matter. It's a joke. It's a horse so the barman says "Why the long face?"
[02:20.38] I don't understand.
[02:22.46] The horse has a long face.
[02:24.80] So it's unhappy?
[02:26.75] No, well, yes, but that's the joke. Horses have long faces.
[02:32.27] So why did it go into the bar again? I don't get it.
