網友× ‥張 小 琦‥ × ( 初學者 5 級 ) 大致是正確的。不過可惜他沒有說明「為何「五點鐘的影子」會變成「鬍子渣」？且讓我來試試：大多數的上班族的上班時間都是「朝九晚五」(nine to five)。男性上班族早上出門鬍子刮得乾乾淨淨，到了五點鐘下班，鬍子又從下巴冒出來了，好像一片陰影，所以才把不修翩幅的男性上班族的鬍子渣稱為 " 5 o'clock shadow"。1960年民主黨的候選人甘乃迪和共和黨的候選人尼克森競選總統，在電視轉播的辯論中，據說尼克森就因為露出「五點鐘的影子」而引起婦女選民的惡感，而輸掉了選舉。這就是 5 o'clock shadow 的放大版

Answer 3

A five o'clock shadow is unwanted beard growth visible late in the day on a man's shaven face. The term gradually went out of fashion as, from the 1980s on, the two-day stubble beard gained both popularity and social acceptance. The most famous politician in history to sport a five o'clock shadow, at a time when it was still considered a faux pas, was U.S. president Richard Nixon, who is said to have lost the 1960 presidential election due to his unfortunate stubbled appearance during the televised presidential debate with John F. Kennedy..

5 o'clock shadow 是指早上刮過晚上又長出來的鬍鬚。這個字現在已經很少在用了，因為從1980年代後，這種兩天長出來的小鬍渣是很受歡也已經被社會接受的。然而，歷史上有名的政治人物，美國總統尼克森(Richard Nixon )，曾因為在電視轉播的總統辯論會上留了小鬍渣，而輸了1960年的總統大選。因為當時有小鬍渣被視為是一種不禮貌的行為。
