美语情景对话 第408期:Wake Up 起床

Todd: So, what did you do today?

托德：你今天做什么了？

Ruth: Well, actually, I got up this morning quite early. I couldn't sleep so I was a little bit annoyed and then I went to church and I had some lunch and..

鲁斯：实际上，我今天起得非常早。我睡不着了，所以我有点生气，之后我就去了教堂，然后吃了午餐。

Todd: OK, but, you said early, like how early?

托德：刚刚你说起得很早，那是多早？

Ruth: Well, I think it was about 7 o'clock.

鲁斯：嗯，我想大概是七点左右吧。

Todd: That's not early.

托德：那可并不早。

Ruth: That is early if you went to bed at 1.

鲁斯：如果你是凌晨一点才睡觉的话，那个时间很早。

Todd: That's true. That's sleeping in for me.

托德：那倒没错。对我来说那个时间就是睡过头了。

Ruth: That's sleeping in. That's true. You're an early bird aren't you?

鲁斯：睡过头了。那倒是。你是早起的人，对吧？

Todd: Now, last night we went out and had the beers.

托德：昨天晚上我们出去喝啤酒了。

Ruth: Yeah!

鲁斯：对啊！

Todd: I was actually quite happy this morning. I had no hangover.

托德：我今天早上非常高兴。我没有宿醉的症状。

Ruth: Did you not? (No) I felt a little bit queasy this morning, and I was a bit ashamed, and I didn't even drink very much. I wasn't, I didn't feel queasy. I think it was more that I hadn't had any sleep actually.

鲁斯：你没有吗？（没有）我今天早上有点恶心，我感到有点不好意思，因为我并没有喝太多。我没有，我没有恶心，我想只是因为我睡得不够。

Todd: Yeah, did you feel guilty in church knowing that you still had the beer buzz?

托德：是啊，你在教堂的时候有没有因为还在宿醉而感到罪恶感？

Ruth: No. I didn't feel guilty about that.

鲁斯：没有，我没有为那种事感到有罪恶感。

Todd: Yeah, that would be tough one. No, I still got up this morning at 5:45.

托德：好吧，那很难。不过我今天早上还是凌晨5点45分起床的。

Ruth: 5:45!

鲁斯：5点45！

Todd: Yeah.

托德：是啊。

Ruth: You must be a lunatic.

鲁斯：你一定是个疯子。

Todd: Well, I mean when the light comes up and the light goes through your window, I don't know how people can still sleep. You know? You can sleep when the light, the sunrise still comes up?

托德：嗯，我是说天一亮，阳光就会从窗户照射进来，我不理解这样人们怎么还能睡觉。你知道吗？你在天亮了以后，太阳升起来以后还能睡觉吗？

Ruth: Yeah, not for too, I mean I can't sleep forever, but like, 7 o'clock, 8 o'clock, then my body wakes up.

鲁斯：是啊，我也不能，我是说我也不能一直睡，比如七、八点的时候，我的身体就会醒来。

Todd: The apartment I was at before, it was crazy because there was a rooster outside, and it didn't do what it was supposed to do, like normally when the sun comes up, the rooster is supposed to go, "er-er-er-er" or whatever, but this thing did it at like 1 and 2 in the morning. It used to drive me nuts, so I used to always wake up at 2 because I'd hear this rooster going "er-er-er" and I just wanted to kill that bird.

托德：我以前住得那个公寓很疯狂，因为外面有公鸡，可是它却并没有做它应该做的事情，比如通常情况下太阳升起来以后，公鸡应该打鸣，可是这只公鸡却在凌晨一、两点的时候打鸣，那真的快把我逼疯了，所以那时我总是在凌晨两点醒来，因为我听到了公鸡打鸣，我真想杀了那只鸡。

Ruth: Did you go sleep, back to sleep after that?

鲁斯：在那之后你还会继续睡吗？

Todd: Yeah, of course I went back to sleep, but the bird would wake me up regularly. Yeah. No roosters here.

托德：当然，我会继续睡觉，但是这只鸡总是让我醒过来。不过这里没有公鸡。

Ruth: That's not funny is it?

鲁斯：那并不好笑不是吗？

Todd: Yeah.

托德：是啊。
