美語情景對話 第995期:Sleep Time 睡眠時間
Hana: So, how much do you sleep?
哈娜：你睡多長時間？Daniel: Well I think I sleep a lot, usually at least 8 hours I think that's, that's the usual for me. How about you?
丹尼爾：我睡得很多，通常我至少會睡8個小時，我基本上是這樣。你呢？Hana: Oh really, about 6 hours I guess, if I have 6 hours that's enough.
哈娜：哦，真的嗎？我大概睡6個小時，如果能睡6個小時那就夠了。
Daniel: 6 hours, is that enough?
丹尼爾：6個小時夠嗎？Hana: Yes and normally because I sleep late and I have to get up early so 6 hours is enough for me.
哈娜：夠了，因爲我睡得很晚，可是我必須早起，所以6個小時對我來說足夠了。Daniel: Wow if I sleep 6 hours I would definitely take a nap after lunch. Do you take naps?
丹尼爾：哇哦，如果我只睡6個小時，我中午吃完飯一定要午睡。你午睡嗎？Hana: Well it depends. If I don't have any class I would sleep but normally I don't.
哈娜：這要看情況而定。如果我沒課，我會睡午覺，不過一般我不睡午覺。Daniel: Wow, how about the weekends do you also sleep like 6 hours?
丹尼爾：哇哦，那週末呢，你週末也只睡6個小時嗎？Hana: No I sleep a lot on Saturdays because I normally didn't have anything to do so I will recharge my batteries and just sleep all morning.
哈娜：不是，我週六睡得時間很長，因爲那天我沒什麼事做，所以我會給身體充電，睡一上午。Daniel: How about Sundays?
丹尼爾：那週日呢？Hana: On Sundays I normally get up early and do something and spend my Sundays with my friend or go out. How about you?
哈娜：週日我一般會早起，然後和朋友一起度過週日或是外出。你呢？Daniel: Well, the bad thing is on Saturdays and Sundays I still get up quite early so I don't get to sleep more than the week but since I still, you know, sleep 8 hours every day so I think that's enough and if I'm tired from the week I think I can still take a nap and I will, you know, fix it, so yeah, I think I sleep a lot like more than a lot of people.
丹尼爾：嗯，對我來說不好的是週六和週日我依然要早起，所以我週末睡得時間不比平常多，不過因爲我每天都睡8個小時，所以我覺得我的睡眠足夠了，如果我週中感覺累的話，我會睡個午覺，這樣可以緩解，我認爲我的睡眠時間比大部分人都多。Hana: That's good.
哈娜：這很好。Daniel: Yeah, it is.
丹尼爾：沒錯。
