There's an expression in English, "the early bird gets the worm." The early birdgets the worm, "worm." A worm, "worm," is a little animal that birds eat. Theworms live in the ground. The idea is that if you get up early, you will get moredone - you will get things that other people don't get because they get up later.So, the early bird gets the worm. Well, Lucy is not eating worms, but she doeslike to take a "few extra minutes to get going in the morning." To get goingmeans to get active - to start doing things.
英語(yǔ)里有句話，“早起的鳥(niǎo)兒有蟲(chóng)吃”。早起的鳥(niǎo)兒才能找到蟲(chóng)子（worm）。蟲(chóng)子（worm）是鳥(niǎo)兒吃的一種小動(dòng)物，生活在泥土里。這句話的意思是，如果早起，你可以多做很多事，你會(huì)得到其他人得不到的東西，因?yàn)樗麄兤鸬猛怼Ｋ哉f(shuō)，早起的鳥(niǎo)兒有蟲(chóng)吃。露西不吃蟲(chóng)子，但她喜歡“待幾分鐘再開(kāi)始新的一天。”開(kāi)始新的一天，意思是動(dòng)起來(lái)，開(kāi)始做事情。
"One reason," she says, "it’s so hard to get up is" that her "bedroom and her bedare so comfortable." She has a very nice, comfortable bed. She says that she"splurged and bought a bed with very soft, thick mattress" - a very soft, thickmattress. Lucy said she splurged, the verb to splurge, "splurge," means to spenda lot of money, even when it isn't necessary. So, you want to buy something nicefor yourself, you don't need it, it's not necessary but you want it. So, she spendsa lot of money - she splurges - and buys a very nice bed that has a nice, thickmattress. A mattress, "mattress," is the part of the bed that you actually sleepon. Usually, a mattress is something that has springs in it - pieces of metal thatgo up and down that allow your body to be comfortable. So, this is a thickmattress - a big mattress - but it is also a soft mattress, so that you can lay downon the bed and it feels good on your body. The opposite of a soft mattress is ahard mattress.
她說(shuō)，“起床困難的一個(gè)原因”是她的“臥室和床太舒服了。”她有一張非常舒服的床。她說(shuō)她“花大價(jià)錢(qián)買(mǎi)了個(gè)床，床墊又軟又厚”，很軟也很厚的床墊。露西說(shuō)她“花了大價(jià)錢(qián)”，花大價(jià)錢(qián)（splurge）意思是花很多錢(qián)，甚至花沒(méi)有必要的錢(qián)。通常是你想給自己買(mǎi)好東西，但是你并不需要這個(gè)東西，也就是沒(méi)有必要但是你很想要的東西。所以她花了很多錢(qián)——她花大價(jià)錢(qián)——買(mǎi)了很好的床，還有很厚的床墊。床墊（mattress）是床的一部分，你要在上邊睡覺(jué)。通常，床墊里邊有彈簧（這種金屬零件可以上下活動(dòng)，讓你身體很舒服）。所以，這是一個(gè)很厚的床墊，也很大，但是也很軟，這樣你才可以躺在床上覺(jué)得很舒服。軟床墊的相對(duì)詞是硬床墊。
