前两天一个朋友跟我说,早上叫3岁的儿子起床,说Matt, get up! 结果小家伙揉着眼睛说了句:Mom, I'm 还困。朋友哭笑不得地拿起电话问我:“困”怎么说?

其实“困sleepy” 是由“睡觉sleep”引申过来的。

还有一个比较常用的就是“asleep入睡

He's sleeping. 他正在睡觉呢

He fell asleep in a second.他秒睡了

He must be very sleepy.他一定是困死了

今天我们就来聊聊“睡觉”那些事儿

1

sleep in 睡懒觉

I've been working so hard this week.I’m going to sleep in on Saturday.

我这周工作太辛苦了!周六要好好睡个懒觉!

2

Sleep away 用睡觉消磨时光

You can’t just sleep the morning away.

你不能就这么把一上午睡过去!

3

sleep on 留到第二天解决

I’m going to sleep on it and make a final decision tomorrow.

我要好好考虑一下,明天做最终决定

4

sleep over 在外过夜

Mom, can Jane sleep over tonight?

妈,Jane今天晚上住咱家行吗?

5

Sleep with 和谁睡。。。

There aren’t enough rooms in this hotel, so I have to sleep with my parents.

酒店房间不够了,所以我得和我父母一起睡。

PS: 通常情况下,sleep with 和sleep together的意思是share a bed with somebody和某人分享一张床,比如 She sleeps with her teddy bear. 但是某些特定情境下,男女之情方面的意思。
