睡 觉 It’s bedtime. 但你还是精神抖擞吗?你的家人、朋友还在瞪着眼睛看电视吗?督促自己和家人洗洗涮涮赶紧睡啦,熬夜对身体可不好哦! 很晚了。It’s late. ○ It’s midnight. 已经半夜了。 ○ Turn off the TV. 把电视关上。 ● be ready for…“为…做好了准备” ● take off“去掉,脱掉” ● make bed“铺床” ● wide awake“完全清醒的,醒着的” ■ hit the hay = hit the sack,在口语中表示“上床睡觉,就寝”。 ● set the alarm clock“定闹钟” When will you pay my money back? Bedtime Mother:It’s time for bed. Frank:But I’m not sleepy, mom. Can I stay up and watch more TV? Mother:It’s already past 11. You have school tomorrow. You’ll be sleepy all day tomorrow if you don’t sleep Frank:I know, but I promise I won’t be sleepy tomorrow. I work really hard. Mother:Don’t you have exams coming up soon? I’m sure you could spend more time preparing for those. Frank:Oh, I nearly forgot the exams. Mother:You do well in the math, but your history is not good enough. Am I right? Frank:Yeah, I guess so. Maybe I could go to sleep now and get up early to review the lessons tomorrow. Mother:An excellent idea. Work now and play later. Frank:I know you’re right. School is more important than TV, but can I watch one more show then go to bed? Mother:No, now is bedtime. 睡觉时间 母亲:该睡觉了。 “be coming up”表示“很快来临,即将发生”,例如:With Christmas coming up, few people have much money to spare.(圣诞节快要到了,很少人手里还有很多闲钱。)另外,“come up ”还可表示“走近,走过来”,例如:One of the teachers comes up and starts talking to me.(一位老师走过来,开始和我谈话。)
“The early bird catches/gets the worm.”是一句谚语,意思是“早起的鸟才会有虫吃。” |
