 　　主持人直播竟然打瞌睡

　　A sleep-deprived Tucker Carlson caught grief from his co-hosts when he dozed¹ off during a live broadcast of Fox & Friends.

　　美国主持人塔克·卡尔森有些睡眠不足，他在节目《Fox & Friends》直播现场居然睡着了，与他一起制作节目的同事目睹了全过程。

　　Carlson, one of the three regular hosts of the Fox News morning show, claimed he had a good excuse - he was up late filling for Sean Hannity on the 9pm broadcast of his show. The conservative pundit's co-hosts didn't let him off the hook with that excuse, though.

　　卡尔森是福克斯早间直播节目三位常驻主持人之一，他自认为有个很充分的理由来解释这一状况：前一天晚上9点顶替Sean Hannity主持脱口秀节目，他睡得太晚了。但这位保守派评论员的同行却不让他用这个借口开脱。

　　As Carlson stretched awake after rousting himself from his slumber², Clayton Morris teased, 'Good to see you! Welcome to Fox & Friends.'

　　当卡尔森从沉睡中醒过来，舒展身体时，克莱顿·莫里森还开玩笑说：“见到你真高兴，欢迎回到《Fox & Friends》。”

　　Later he added: 'In 15 years of doing this program, I don't think that's ever happened.' Alisyn Camerota helpfully handed Carlson a venti cup of Starbucks coffee.

　　后来他还说：“我做这个节目15年了，从没想过会发生这种事。” 艾莉森·卡梅洛塔还递给卡尔森一大杯星巴克咖啡。

　　The host pleaded for sympathy. 'You know what it is, I sat in for Sean Hannity last night. It went late,' he said. And, all of a sudden I was sitting there and I was having these happy thoughts and I just dozed off.

　　这位主持人还恳请他人理解同情一下自己。他说：“你们知道吗，我昨天晚上就在做《Sean Hannity》节目，直到很晚才结束。然后一恍惚我就突然坐在这里了，接着头脑里闪过许多愉快的想法，然后就睡过去了。”

　　'And then I heard one of our evil cameramen cackling in the background. I know which one of you it is.'

　　“后来我听见后面摄制组里的一个员工笑声不止。我可听得出那个声音是谁的。”

　　Carlson also thought he was fine to take a nap because the show was on a commercial break. Unfortunately, it appears he snoozed through the commercials. He was still nodded off in his seat when the cameras cut back to him.

　　卡尔森觉得小睡一下也无所谓，因为正好是节目的广告时间。但不走运的是他好像还在插播广告的时候打起了呼噜。等镜头切回演播室后，他还坐在座位上垂头睡觉。

　　'I know we're not on television, so it doesn't bother me,' he said. But, as it dawned on him that he was indeed on air, he gets a little red-faced.

　　卡尔森说：“我知道这段时间不用上电视，所以对我也没啥影响。”但当他发现自己身在直播过程中时，便显得又有些脸红。

　　'Wait, are we honestly live?' he asks. His co-hosts simply laugh.

　　他问到：“诶，等等，我们已经开始直播了?”此时他的同事们只得笑而不语。
