英语口语轻松学 第80期:睡的像头猪

 　　ENGLISH MARATHON¹

　　Host: Jeffery

　　sleep like a log² Bob, last night after I got the promotion³ that I have been so worried about the last six weeks, I can tell you that I was able to sleep like a log, for the first time in more than a month.

　　I don't think I even turned over in bed all night long.

　　It was great.

　　sleep on it Ann, honey, we don't have to decide right this minute.

　　Let's just sleep on it.

　　And after a good night's sleep, we can make up our minds and go buy it after work.

　　not sleep a wink⁴ I am so sleepy I can't keep my eyes open.

　　I stayed up till four A.M.

　　for the last minute study for the English exam, and when I finally did lie down, I couldn't sleep a wink.

　　I hope I did OK in the test but right now all I want is to sleep a week.
