特朗普金色头发变得花白
当地时间13日下午，特朗普就新冠疫苗进展召开记者会，这是他在主流媒体宣布拜登胜选后的首次露面。讲话的内容因没有提及大选并未受到多大关注，而其原本标志性的金黄发色突然变得灰白，引发了网友的热议。

Twitter reacts after Trump’s hair appears to turn grey
The Independent
Donald Trump’s most recent press conference has driven the internet wild with questions, but not the ones you may think.
During the update on coronavirus vaccine development in the White House Rose Garden, many viewers were quick to notice one significant change in the president's signature appearance: his hair.
Members of the public and journalists alike quickly pointed out that Mr Trump’s barnet seemed to be sporting a more demure shade of grey than his usual iconic bright blonde.
The 74-year-old, who is renowned for his deep tan and permanently blond hair, stepped out to make his first public remarks since major news networks declared Joe Biden winner of the presidential election on Saturday.
“This whole speech is giving me a slightly out of body experience. Hair colour changed. Noticeably whiter. But the voice and the speed of delivery is the same. #Trump,” BBC journalist Emily Maitlis tweeted.
“Is it my TV or is Trump’s hair not looking it’s usual dog-p*** yellow today?,” political strategist and commentator Ana Navarro-Cárdenas said.
Many were quick to make jokes at the president’s expense or come up with different theories as to why the president may have had a sudden change in look.
“It appears Donald Trump’s hair dye has conceded,” Ahmed Baba, Co-founder and editor-in-chief of Rantt Media, wrote.
“Either Trump's hair colourist has jumped ship, or he's trying to gradually morph into Joe Biden and hope we don't notice,” a Boris Johnson parody account joked.
“It looks like Trump let Four Seasons Total Landscaping do his hair today,” one user posted.
Others interpreted the transformation as a reflection of a downhearted spirit amidst the election, as Mr Trump is yet to concede to the president-elect and has mounted intense legal proceedings in swing states.
“How quickly has Donald Trump's hair turned white? Damn losing must have really hit him hard. No wonder he has been hiding. #Trump,” one user posted.
“Looks like the lost election has scared Trump’s hair white,” another said.
The president has actually also sported a seemingly more demure shade during another coronavirus press briefing earlier this year in March, but given the spotlight of the election, this styling change seems to be drawing more attention than usual.

“It looks like Trump let Four Seasons Total Landscaping do his hair today,” one user posted.
“看起来特朗普今天让四季全景观公司（Four Seasons Total Landscaping）给他做了头发，”一位用户发帖说。
相关背景
这里其实有一个很搞笑的插曲。特朗普发推特称他们团队将在四季酒店（four seasons hotel）举办新闻发布会，结果团队的人订错了，订成了四季全景观公司（four seasons total landscaping）。
据说，这个四季全景观公司是在郊区，对面是火葬场、旁边是一家奇怪的商店。后来，发布会真的在这个公司的停车场进行，如下图。
当时，四季酒店甚至发推声明，特朗普团队预定举办新闻发布会的场所和自己没有半毛钱关系。
Others interpreted the transformation as a reflection of a downhearted spirit amidst the election, as Mr Trump is yet to concede to the president-elect and has mounted intense legal proceedings in swing states.
其他人将这种转变解释为反映了大选中的沮丧精神，因为特朗普先生尚未向当选总统认输，并在摇摆州进行了激烈的法律诉讼。
downhearted

死亡人数持续增加。
📍去年9月，美国电子烟巨头Juul的CEO辞职时，经济学人的文章中用到了As concerns mount这一表达：Juul replaced its chief executive, as concerns mount about the health risks of e-cigarettes.
2）mount作动词还可以表示“准备；安排；组织；开展，发动”，此处就是这个含义，英文解释为“If you mount a campaign or event, you organize it and make it take place.”举个🌰：
The National Gallery mounted an exhibition of American painting.
国家美术馆举办了美国画展。
📍比如，BBC在重庆公交车坠江一文中提到的，开展大规模救援行动，A huge rescue operation was mounted.
📍纽约时报在全美最严苛反堕胎法案诞生一文中也有用到了mount的这个含义：In the coming days, we will be mounting the fight of our lives — we will take this to court and ensure abortion remains safe and legal. 在未来的日子里，我们将发动我们生命中的斗争--我们将诉诸法庭，确保堕胎仍然安全和合法。

“Looks like the lost election has scared Trump's hair white,” another said.

The president has actually also sported a seemingly more demure shade during another coronavirus press briefing earlier this year in March, but given the spotlight of the election, this styling change seems to be drawing more attention than usual.
其实在今年3月早些时候的另一场新闻发布会上，总统的头发也有类似的颜色，但考虑到备受瞩目的大选，这次造型的改变似乎比平时更引人关注。
