貓頭鷹是一種鳥,遍佈世界各地。夜貓子。Why would you describe a person as a "night owl?"
爲什麼你會把一個人描述爲“夜貓子”呢?
Well, I did it. I finished Apartment of Cards.
哇,我做到了。我看完了《紙牌公寓》。How? You just started watching the show last week!
怎麼可能?你上週纔剛開始看。I have always been a night owl, Jonathan. So I've been staying up late to get through the show.
喬納森,我是個夜貓子啊。所以我一直熬夜看完了這部劇。You haven't been sleeping at all, have you?
你根本沒睡覺,是麼?A "night owl" is someone who stays up late. Owls are most active at night.
“夜貓子”是指那些睡得很晚的人。貓頭鷹在夜間最爲活躍。That is where this experssion comes from.
這個表述就出自這裏。The opposite of a "night owl" is an "early bird" -- someone who favors waking up very early in the morning.
與“夜貓子”相對的就是“早起的人”--就是那些很喜歡在早上起很早的人。And that's English in a Minute!
