尴尬！直播演示戴口罩现场翻车
近日，为了督促民众佩戴口罩，南非总统西里尔·拉马福萨（Cyril Ramaphosa）在直播中现场演示佩戴口罩，结果口罩先是蒙住了眼睛，又两三次脱落。此举引得网友纷纷效仿，后来他也幽默回应称，看来我得开个电视频道教大家戴口罩了。

You had one job! South Africa's President Ramaphosa hilariously struggles to put coronavirus face mask on while demonstrating how to wear them
DailyMail
South Africa President Cyril Ramaphosa was captured struggling to get his facemask on after delivering a speech on the importance of wearing them, in a blunder livestreamed yesterday.
Before suffering the face mask mishap President Ramaphosa annouced that the nation would be easing some of their lockdown restrictions from next month.
He urged those leaving their homes to travel on public transport to wear face masks, and then attempted to give an instructive demonstration on how to wear a mask - which did not go to plan.
Leading by example the president stretches the fabric mask around one of his ears, but struggles to hook the other ear in the elastic.
A second later the mask rebels, pinging off his face before President Ramaphosa firmly places it back over his ears, this time leaving his eyes covered by the mask like a blindfold.
Twitter humourously reacted to the video clip of the president grappling with the mask which was shared widely on social media.
Using the hashtags #MaskOnChallenge and #CyrilMaskChallenge people shared posts of themselves incorrectly wearing face masks over their eyes.
Today the president responded to the social media reaction, telling Enca: 'Well for those of you who were laughing at me yesterday, I am going to open a TV channel where i'm going to teach poeple to put on a mask. So you can enroll how a mask is put on.'
One Twitter user posted: 'My family and I laughed. Even the sign language lady was a bit more passionate throughout the whole speech and suddenly at the end she ran out of signs.
Adding: 'I don't think Mr President will mind a little #MaskOnChallenge We have more than enough sulk moments. Let's laugh a little.'
While Roxanne Konkol tweeted: 'Something positive. Thanks Cyril for the giggles #maskchallenge #MaskOnChallenge #Masks #CyrilFridays.'
Others did not find the jokes about the mask blunder amusing, Busisiwe Ntshingila tweeted: 'Not funny not after all we have been through can you imagine how tired that man must be, where many failed he has protected us, give him a break and show some respect.'

戴口罩
😷怎么说？除了说wear face masks，标题中用了put the face mask on，第一段则用了get the facemask on.
You had one job.
这个俚语在Urban Dictionary中网友给出解释：Response to failing to do the one and only thing you had to do. This is told, either in a disgusted, mocking, or angry tone to people, animals, inanimate objects, and anything else that fails to complete the simple task for which it was designed. A way to express total fail, epic fail, especially when the one job was very simple.
什么语境下可以说You had one job!呢，举了几个🌰：
blunder
表示“愚蠢错误，疏忽”，英文解释为“A blunder is a stupid or careless mistake.”举个🌰：
I think he made a tactical blunder by announcing it so far ahead of time.
Before suffering the face mask mishap President Ramaphosa annouced that the nation would be easing some of their lockdown restrictions from next month.
mishap
mishap /ˈmɪshæp/ 表示“小事故；晦气”，英文解释为“a small accident or piece of bad luck that does not have serious results”，如：a slight mishap 小小的不幸，a series of mishaps 一连串的倒霉事。
He urged those leaving their homes to travel on public transport to wear face masks, and then attempted to give an instructive demonstration on how to wear a mask - which did not go to plan.
