先看简短解释

How smart people say "I'm in a bad mood"

Instead of "I'm in a bad mood," try "It's been one of those days," "I'm having an off day," or "I'm having a rough day." These lines explain your mood without blaming anyone. They also ask the other person for a little patience. Add "Sorry" first if your mood has already affected someone.

逐句讲解

It's been one of those days. 语气: Casual and gentle

Use it when lots of small things went wrong and you want to explain your mood without listing them. It is too light for serious news, such as an illness or a loss.

“It's been one of those days.”

出自Love at First Dance (2018)
I'm having an off day. 语气: Light and honest

Use it when you are not at your best and you make small mistakes or feel slow. It works well at work or with friends. It does not suggest that something bad happened.

“Sorry. I'm having an off day.”

出自Table 19 (2017)
I'm having a rough day. 语气: Serious and open

Use it when the day is really hard and you need some patience from the other person. It sounds heavier than "an off day," so people may ask what happened.

“Sorry. I'm having a rough day.”

出自Columbus (2017)
I'm not in the best mood right now. 语气: Polite and direct

Use it when you want to warn someone before a conversation starts. It is softer than "I'm in a bad mood" because it does not use the word "bad."
I'm not quite myself today. 语气: Soft and personal

Use it when you feel different from your usual self, for example quieter or less patient. It works with people who know you well, because they know how you usually act.
I'm a bit out of sorts today. 语气: Mild and friendly

Use it when you feel slightly unwell or slightly upset and you can't say exactly why. It is a gentle phrase, so it doesn't fit a very bad day.

常见错误

不太合适 ~~It was one of those days.~~

更合适的说法 It's been one of those days.

Use "It's been" (it has been) when the day is still going on, as it is for Theo at nine in the morning. "It was one of those days" is for a day that has already ended.
不太合适 ~~I'm having an off-day mood.~~

更合适的说法 I'm having an off day.

"Off day" is already the complete idea. You have an off day. You don't need to add "mood," and you don't need a hyphen.
不太合适 ~~I have a rough day.~~

更合适的说法 I'm having a rough day.

Use the continuous form "I'm having" for a day that is happening right now. "I have a rough day" sounds like a schedule, as in "I have a rough day tomorrow."
