英语相似词辨析 go to bed,go to sleep(在线收听

go to bed,go to sleep

这一对并非同义短语。

Go to bed的意思是“上床”、“就寝”,bed之前不能加定冠词the,也不能加this、that、your、my等词,因为它是固定词组。在下列的固定词组中,我们也不能加上列的词,否则意义将要改变:get to bed,put to bed,take to bed,lie in bed,out of bed等。例:

When did you go to bed last night?

昨晚你几点钟上床?

I usually go to bed at eleven.

我通常十一点就寝。

Go to sleep的意思是“入睡”、“睡着”。因此,go to bed并不等于go to sleep。如所周知,一个失眠的人往往在go to bed之后过了很久也不能 go to sleep。例:

Last night I was too excited to go to sleep.

昨晚我激动得不能入睡。

I went to sleep at two this morning!

今晨两点我才睡着。

现将 go to bed和go to sleep用在一个句中,以便区别:

She usually goes to bed at nine and goes to sleep a few minutes afterwards.

她通常九点上床,几分钟后就入睡。
