第13課:生活場景學習
一、生活場景學習
The worst part of the day for me is definitely when I have to get up. Waking up, that I can handle. But getting up? That, I hate. The covers I have on my bed are heavy, mostly because I have a comforter as well as a light blanket. I sleep with two pillows, which for some reason have different color pillowcases. Well, at least the sheets match.
I sometimes wake up before the alarm goes off. I like to keep the alarm at a low volume, with some classical music, nothing too jarring. My old roommate used to like the terrible buzzer that you find on most alarm clocks nowadays, which always used to drive me nuts.
to get up 起牀－This morning I got up very quickly because the baby was crying.
to wake up 醒-She always leaves her curtains open so that she can wake up with the sunlight.
to handle 解決-Are you sure that you can handle taking six classes this semester?
covers 被子-When my husband sleeps, he always steals the covers and then I get so cold at night!
comforter 被子- In the winter, they sleep under a very thick comforter, but in the summer they don't use it.
light blanket 清毯子-When Marcos saw Maria sleeping on the sofa, he covered her with a light blanket so she wouldn't be too cold.
pillow 枕頭-Why do people decorate their beds with so many pillows? I only need one to sleep on.
pillowcase 枕頭套- They bought new pillowcases to match the color of their bedroom walls.
sheets 被子- How often do you change the sheets on your bed?
to match 配對- Do you think that this sweater matches these pants?
to go off - When my alarm went off at 6:00 a.m., I was in the middle of a very good dream.
jarring -The children were fighting during the car trip and their arguments became very jarring to their parents.
buzzer - Many TV game shows use a buzzer when participants answer a question incorrectly.
to drive (someone) nuts - Please stop singing that song over and over again. You're driving me nuts!
