Lily: Hello, I'm Lily. 我们的地道英语专门向大家介绍英式英语中最流行的词汇和成语，其中很多都是字典上查不到的。 Jo 今天我们要学习的新短语是什么?

Jo: Yes, we're going to look at the word mullet M.U.L.L.E.T. mullet.

Lily: 什么是 a mullet?

Jo: It's actually a hairstyle.

Lily: A hairstyle? What kind of hairstyle?

Jo: Well, it's a hairstyle from the 1980s. If you have a mullet you have long hair at the back but it will be short at the sides and on top.

Lily: 这么说， a mullet 就是一种上短，侧短，后边长的特定发型。那么是不是男女都适用?

Jo: They can but it was originally a man's hairstyle that was called a mullet.

Lily: 这种发型仍然时髦吗?

Jo: Not at all, no. People make lots of jokes about the mullet hairstyle. It was very fashionable in the 1980s though. Is there a Chinese word for this kind of hairstyle Lily?

Lily: 好像没有。 Not that I know.

Jo: Just to give you a better idea, let's listen to an example.

Lily: 瞧，你都脸红了，越来越红!!! I wish I could see a photo!
