On a weekday, I usually get up around 6:30 a.m., but I set my alarm to go off at 6:20 so that I can hit the snooze button to sleep another 10 minutes. My roommate thinks I'm crazy, but doing this in the mornings actually helps me wake up. I'm a night owl, not an early bird like she is, so I need an extra few minutes to get going in the morning.
工作日早上,我通常六點半左右起床,但是我把鬧鐘設在六點二十,這樣我可以按一下“貪睡按鈕”再睡十分鐘。我舍友覺得我古怪。但是每天早上這樣做可以幫我清醒過來。我不是夜貓子,但也不是她那樣的早起鳥,所以我早上需要多睡幾分鐘再起床開始新的一天。
One reason it’s so hard to get up is because my bedroom and my bed are so comfortable. I splurged and bought a bed with a very soft, thick mattress. I also have matching sheets and pillowcases, and a comforter that is made of goose down. Even my nightstand matches my sheets and the rest of my bedroom. I decorated it so that it would be restful after a busy day at work.
起床困難的一個原因就是我的臥室和床太舒服了。我花大價錢買了個床,床墊又軟又厚。我也有配套的床單和枕套,還有厚鵝絨被子。就連我的床頭柜也和我的床單還有臥室的其他部分很搭。我認真裝飾了臥室,這樣忙了一天的工作之后,回來可以好好休息。
When I get up, the first thing I do is put on my robe. It's always so cold in the apartment in the mornings, no matter what time of year it is. Then, I usually make my bed. I hated making my bed when I was little, but now it's become a routine. Sometimes, though, I'm so tired that I sleep in for just a little too long and then, the bed definitely doesn' t get made. On those days, I wish I could sleep in all day!
起床之后,第一件事就是穿上睡袍。因為公寓里一年到頭早上都很冷。然后,我會收拾床鋪。我小時候就討厭收拾床鋪,但是現在這變成了例行程序。然而,有時我很累,就會多睡一會,然后就沒空收拾床鋪了!那時候,我很希望我可以睡一整天。
