怎样地道用英语口语来表达睡眠(最新)
【篇一】怎样地道用英语口语来表达睡眠
(1)nap n/v
这个单词经常以名词形式出现在take a nap这个词组中，表示“打盹儿，小睡”，是一个中性的表达。其实nap也可以作一个动词使用，表示“打瞌睡”，例如：
An elderly person may nap during the day and then sleep only five hours a night.
老年人白天会小睡一会儿，然后晚上只睡5个小时。
(2)doze n/v
作名词时它表示“瞌睡”，做动词时常与介词off搭配，doze off也表示“打瞌睡，打盹儿”，不过doze带有一点贬义，常指走神而引发的困倦，如上课打瞌睡，无聊的讲座使听众发困等等：
The lecture was so boring that the audience began to doze off.
讲座太乏味，听众开始打盹了。
表达睡觉这个含义的词组还有go to sleep/ go to bed，但是我们发现这里有一个to do不定式的结构，该结构可以表目的和表将来，因此在中文里我们就可以理解成，“去做……”。回到词组上，去睡觉/去床上可不就是到床上准备睡觉，却不一定已经入睡了吗?我们平常问的“你昨晚几点睡?”其实也就是在问“你昨晚几点*?”
还有一组很相似的表达是get to sleep/ get asleep/ fall asleep，这一组词就基本等同于sleep，只有这细微的差别。前两个词组中都有“get”这个单词，get可以译为“得到”，那么得到了睡眠也就意味着已经“入睡”，因此前两个词组就表示“入睡”。其实这也是sleep和asleep的本质区别，前者作动词是睡觉这个动作，后者作形容词表示入睡这个状态。因此，第三个词组也跟前两个一样，都表示入睡。
其实平常喜欢追美剧的同学应该都对上面列举的单词和词组应该都不陌生，因为那些都是口语中常见的说法，那如果要用在书面上呢?slumber这个高大上的词可就排上用场了!如果要进行文学创作，写篇小说、作首诗歌，这个词都是你的不二之选哦!让我们看看例句：
And you think you can use it to summon the Dragon Lords from a thousand years of slumber?
你认为你能用它来召唤沉睡了一千年的龙神?
And so they thoughts, when thou art gone, Love itself shall slumber on.
当你飘然远去，爱情，将在我对你的思念中安眠。

Akane: If you put it that way.
鲁斯：我在想如果再加上那五个小时，你一天的睡觉时间可真够长的。
茜：如果你这么理解，是这样的。
