ESL杰夫的一天 第10期:起床(2)(在线收听) |
The worst part of the day for me is definitely when I have to get up. 对我来说,一天中最糟糕的事情莫过于起床了。 Waking up, that I can handle. But getting up? That, I hate. 醒来,我倒是可以。但是起床?我很讨厌。
The covers I have on my bed are heavy, mostly because I have a comforter as well as a light blanket. 我床上盖的东西很重,大多是因为我有一床被子和一条薄毯。
I sleep with two pillows, which for some reason have different color pillowcases. Well, at least the sheets match. 我睡觉要用两个枕头,由于某种原因,它们有不同颜色的枕套。管它呢,至少被单和床单的颜色是一样的。
I sometimes wake up before the alarm goes off. 有时候我会在闹钟响之前醒来。
I like to keep the alarm at a low volume, with some classical music, nothing too jarring. 我喜欢把闹钟的声音调小,放一些古典音乐,一点也不刺耳。
My old roommate used to like the terrible buzzer that you find on most alarm clocks nowadays, which always used to drive me nuts. 我以前的室友喜欢那种很吵的闹铃,现在这种铃声在闹钟上很常见,那时候这些声音经常会把我逼疯。
As I was saying, I sometimes wake up before the alarm, usually because of some noise outside the house- 我说过,有时候我会在闹铃响之前醒来,一般是因为屋外的一些噪音——
a car door slamming, an alarm going off, gunfire-well, okay, not gunfire, but man, is my neighborhood noisy! 轿车摔门声、汽车报警声、炮火声——呃,好吧,没有炮火声,可是天哪,我的邻居可真是吵啊!
Of course, when I'm staying in a hotel, it's usually easier to just get a wake up call from the hotel than set the alarm. 当然,住宾馆的时候,接到宾馆的叫醒电话通常比设置闹钟要简单得多。
I'm not really an early riser, so I don't jump out of bed ready to take on the world. 我并不是早起型的人,所以我不会跳下床准备好迎接新的一天。
I get up very slowly, usually one foot on the floor at a time. Every once in a while I'll oversleep, but not too often. 我起床很缓慢,通常一只脚一只脚地下地。我时不时还会睡过头,不过不频繁。
I really love the weekends, when I can sleep in. 我很喜欢周末,那时候可以睡懒觉。 |
