地道美語怎麼說 第65課:美容覺
Jessica在北京學中文，她的中國朋友要是遇到了不知道用美語怎麼說的詞，就會來請教她。今天是Lulu要問的：美容覺。
Jessica:Hey Lulu，I haven't seen you in ages! How's it going?
LULU:很好很好！就是工作太忙。How are you doing yourself?
Jessica:I'm good! Speaking of which, some of us are going to Karaoke tonight, you've got to come with us!
LULU:我想去，但我明天得見一個大客戶，我們又是公關公司，得保持好形象。所以我今天得早點回家，睡個美容覺。
Jessica:Beauty sleep? You don't 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，前一段時間爲了搞定這個大客戶，我整天加班，睡也睡不好！所以，我得回家補補覺！對了，這個補覺用美語要怎麼說呀？
Jessica:Let me 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. know?
LULU:哈哈，太形象了！Catch up on some Zs, 就是補覺的意思！那睡得不踏實，翻來覆去，又要怎麼說呢？
Jessica:We call that toss and turn. Toss is spelled t-o-s-s, toss; and turn, t-u-r-n; toss and turn! 這個詞組的意思就是輾轉反側，難以入眠!
LULU:我最近因爲要給這個客戶寫商業計劃，老是睡不好。I've 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: some shut-eye? 這難道是休息眼睛的意思嗎？
Jessica:It's 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 you've learned today!
LULU:第一，美容覺叫做 beauty sleep;
第二，補覺可以說 catch up on some Zs, 或者get some shut-eye;
第三，輾轉反側，叫做 toss and turn.
