🎙️7️⃣6️⃣ – Just / Unfortunately / Against expectations (偏偏 piān piān)

I got up early and left home in a great mood, but just as I reached the subway — it started raining! Let’s learn how to say “just / unfortunately / against expectations” in Chinese.

偏偏 (piān piān)

Hello，大家好，我是Janine。
Hello, dàjiā hǎo, wǒ shì Janine.Hello everyone, I’m Janine.

今天早上我起得特别早，想早点出门上班。
Jīntiān zǎoshang wǒ qǐ de tèbié zǎo, xiǎng zǎo diǎn chūmén shàngbān.This morning, I got up super early, planning to leave for work ahead of time.

出门的时候，太阳很好，我心情也不错。
Chūmén de shíhou, tàiyáng hěn hǎo, wǒ xīnqíng yě bú cuò.When I left home, the sun was shining, and I was in a great mood.

结果刚走到地铁口，天就偏偏开始下雨了！
Jiéguǒ gāng zǒu dào dìtiě kǒu, tiān jiù piānpiān kāishǐ xià yǔ le!But just as I got to the subway entrance, it suddenly started raining — just my luck!

我只好又跑回家拿伞。
Wǒ zhǐhǎo yòu pǎo huí jiā ná sǎn.So I had to run back home to grab my umbrella.
