JESSICA在北京学汉语,她的中国朋友要是遇到了不知道用美语怎么说的词,就会来请教她。今天是怡茹要问的:夜猫子。 YR: Hey Jessica! What are you doing on Friday? JESSICA: Hmm, I don't know yet. What's up? YR: Some of us are planning a sleep over at my apartment. 我们几个都是夜猫子,准备好好看场家庭影院,再睡到自然醒!We are all late cats! JESSICA: 哈哈,YIRU,that's not how we say it. We call people who stay up late "night owls"! YR: Night owls? JESSICA: Exactly. Owl is spelled o-w-l, owl, 是猫头鹰。Night owl, 就是夜猫子。不过我可不是夜猫子, I usually hit the hay around 10... YR: Wait a second...hit the hay? 我知道hay是稻草的意思,你……你为什么要打稻草啊? JESSICA: 哈哈,YIRU! Hit the hay is just a common way of saying "to go to sleep". 就是睡觉的意思。 YR: 哈!真有意思,hit the hay! Hmm, I'm quite the opposite- I usually hit the hay very late, definitely after mid-night! JESSICA: I really want to join you guys, but I never enjoy sleepovers. I'm a light sleeper. So normally I can't sleep well on sleepovers. YR: Light sleeper? 让我来猜猜,就是觉轻的意思,对吗? JESSICA: Bingo! A light sleeper can be easily awakened. YR: 哦!那一睡着就雷都打不醒的人要怎么说呢? Jessica: It's just the opposite! You can call them sound sleepers. YR: A light sleeper, 觉轻的人;a sound sleeper, 觉沉的人。我想,我们的sleepover party可能真的不太适合你!那下次别的活动我再叫你吧! Jessica: Okay! Now tell me what you've learned today! YR: 第一:夜猫子叫做 night owl;. 第二:睡觉可以说 hit the hay; 第三:睡得沉的人是 a sound sleeper, 觉轻的人则是 a light sleeper! 相关阅读 “Night” 的习惯用语 “熬夜”的地道说法 “sleep”的习惯用语 人一天睡的各种觉 (来源:VOA英语教学 编辑:旭燕) |
