欢迎各位小伙伴来到
------"每个单词我都认识，但我又不认识整个短语"的时候啦！
"dog"是"狗"
"breakfast"是早餐
那"a dog's breakfast"是"狗的早餐"？
狗听了都摇头。
a dog's breakfast是一句英文俚语，指的是**无序、混乱、杂乱无章的事物或局面。**这个短语一般用来形容一项任务或计划失败，或者用来批评某个人的工作质量低劣，毫无条理。
举个例子：
- The report I received was a dog's breakfast - it was completely unintelligible.
（我收到的报告一片混乱------完全无法理解。）
- After the company was acquired, the management team made a dog's breakfast of the transition process.
（公司被收购后，管理团队将过渡搞的一团糟。）
- I tried to fix the computer problem myself, but I just made it into a dog's breakfast.
（我试着自己修复电脑问题，但结果让它变得混乱不堪。）
- The contractors left the job site looking like a dog's breakfast - tools and debris everywhere.
（承包商把工地弄的一片狼藉，到处都是工具和垃圾。）
这个俚语的来源已经无从考证，但据说它最初可能是出现在英国军队中，用于形容早餐食物被狗吃了的情况。随着时间的推移，这个短语被引申为指任何一种混乱的状态。
