ESL露西的一天 第2期:起床讲解(1)(在线收听

   Episode one is called "Getting Up."   第一课的主题是“起床”。

  The verb to get, "get," up means to get out of your bed - to leave your bed. 动词词组get(g-e-t)up意思是从床里出来,即离开床。
  So, after you stop sleeping - after you wake up, then you get up - you get out of your bed. 所以你睡完觉以后,也就是醒了之后,你就要起床,离开床。
  Lucy begins her story by saying that "On a weekday," that is Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday - those are the weekdays (all one word), weekday.  露西在开头说“在工作日”,即周一、周二、周三、周四和周五,这些叫作工作日(都是一个词)。
  The other part of the week is called the weekend, Saturday and Sunday. 一周的另一部分叫作周末,即周六和周日。
  "On a weekday," what some people might also call a work day - a day they have to work, Lucy says she "usually gets up around 6:30" in the morning, but she sets her "alarm to go off at 6:20."   “在工作日”也有人叫它上班时间,即需要上班的时候,露西说她早上“通常六点半左右起床”,但是她把“闹铃定在六点二十响”。
  Her alarm, "alarm," is what makes noise - what wakes her up, usually it is an alarm clock that you can set the time to. 她的闹铃(a-l-a-r-m)可以发出声音,可以叫醒她,通常是一个可以设定时间的闹钟。
  To set your alarm, "set," means to put it to the correct time. 设定闹钟(s-e-t),意思是把它调到正确的时间。
