Larry(LL)昨晚因?yàn)橼s工作而一夜沒睡。他正在跟李華(LH)討論睡眠問(wèn)題。
LL: Well, Li Hua, I've got to get back to work, and then go home and catch some zzzzs.
LH: 你要回去工作,然后回家,還要抓什么?Catch some zzzs是什么意思呀?Catch是抓住, zzzs是什么啊?
LL: Catching some zzzs means to get some sleep.
LH: 嗯,catching some zzzs就是睡覺!可為什么說(shuō)catching some zzzs呢?Z不是英語(yǔ)的最后一個(gè)字母嗎?
LL: You're right. "Z" is the last letter of the alphabet. But many people associate the sound of the letter "Z" ( makes sound zzzzzzzzz) with the sound of snoring.
LH: 噢, z跟打鼾的聲音有點(diǎn)像,所以把睡覺說(shuō)成是: to catch some zzzs。
LL: And to catch some zzzs is to fall asleep, which is really what I need to do now.
LH: 我知道,你已經(jīng)說(shuō)了好幾遍了, 你現(xiàn)在最需要的就是回去睡一大覺。那你就趕快走呀!
LL: But I still have some things I need to do at work.
LH: 辦公室里還有事要做。那你睜不開眼睛怎么辦?
LL: There is no need to worry! My desk isn't very comfortable, and the office is pretty loud. I don't think I could catch some zzzs at work, even if I wanted to.
LH: 你怎么那么可憐呢! 辦公室里坐著不舒服,又吵吵鬧鬧的,想睡覺都睡不著。那你乘車回家的時(shí)候在車上睡一回兒吧。
LL: No, I better not do that. If I catch some zzzs on the bus, I might miss my stop.
LH: 那就沒辦法了。我看你今天只有喝咖啡了。 Larry, 跟你說(shuō)了半天睡覺的問(wèn)題,把我都說(shuō)困了。 Maybe I need to go home and catch some zzzs, too!
