你睡美容覺了嗎？
Jessica在北京學(xué)中文，她的中國朋友要是遇到了不知道用美語怎么說的詞，就會來請教她。今天是Lulu要問的：美容覺。
Jessica：Hey Lulu，I havent seen you in ages! Hows it going?
LULU: 很好很好!就是工作太忙。How are you doing yourself?
Jessica: Im good! Speaking of which, some of us are going to Karaoke tonight, youve got to come with us!
LULU: 我想去，但我明天得見一個(gè)大客戶，我們又是公關(guān)公司，得保持好形象。所以我今天得早點(diǎn)回家，睡個(gè)美容覺。今天你睡美容覺了嗎?
Jessica: Beauty sleep? You dont need a beauty sleep, Lulu, you are always beautiful!
LULU: 哈!原來美容覺就是beauty sleep!真好記。說真的，前一段時(shí)間為了搞定這個(gè)大客戶，我整天加班，睡也睡不好!所以，我得回家補(bǔ)補(bǔ)覺!對了，這個(gè)補(bǔ)覺用美語要怎么說呀?
Jessica: Let me see...you can say you need to catch up on some Zs.
LULU: 啊?Catch up on some Zs?
Jessica: 對啊，here we use the capital letter Z. It refers to the sound you make when you are asleep. Zzzz...you know?
LULU: 哈哈，太形象了!Catch up on some Zs, 就是補(bǔ)覺的意思!那睡得不踏實(shí)，翻來覆去，又要怎么說呢?
Jessica: We call that toss and turn. Toss is spelled t-o-s-s, toss; and turn, t-u-r-n; toss and turn! 這個(gè)詞組的意思就是輾轉(zhuǎn)反側(cè)，難以入眠!
LULU: 我最近因?yàn)橐o這個(gè)客戶寫商業(yè)計(jì)劃，老是睡不好。Ive been tossing and turning all night lately.
Jessica: Oh poor girl! You know what? I think you need to go home and get some shut-eye, we will hang out some other time!
LULU: Wait...get some shut-eye? 這難道是休息眼睛的意思嗎?
Jessica: Its close! Actually to get some shut-eye also means to catch up on some sleep, 也是睡覺的意思!
LULU: Ok, I will go home now and get a 10-hour sleep!
Jessica: Sounds good! Before you go, tell me what youve learned today!
