I'll hit the sack (hay) right now and catch some Z's!
我得上床好好睡一覺！
【Andrew's Note】
The British poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge once wrote, "Ah, sleep, it is a blessed thing, beloved from pole to pole." Everybody enjoys a good sleep. That's probably why we have so many expressions to describe sleep.
英國(guó)詩(shī)人塞繆爾?泰勒?柯爾雷基曾經(jīng)寫道，“啊，睡眠是上天的恩賜，天底下的人都對(duì)它鐘愛有加。” 大家喜歡睡個(gè)好覺。這可能就是我們?yōu)槭裁从心敲炊嗪迷~語來描繪睡覺。
[1] In the hotel I was busy with my documents while Marston dozed offon the sofa with a book on his knees. I was afraid he might get cold so I woke him up，saying, "It is time you turned in, sir!"
[2] "Oh, I am too exhausted in the daytime, going through a million tonsof documents for the program. I'll hit the hay (sack) now! Good night and see you tomorrow."
[3] I joked, "Marston, millions of thanks for your help on the day time, or otherwise I will be stranded in the pile of documents. Please don't stay to catch some Z's. It is high time that you went to bed for a good sleep."
[4]Without much ado, I buried my head in the pile of documents because I had to present them to the departments concerned the next day. I had to burn the midnight oil to check up all the documents and make sure everything was in apple pie order. If anything was out of place, it might delay the endorsement of our project. In that case, I would be smitten（使心中苦惱; 責(zé)備）by deep remorse because my conscience would prick（刺痛；刺傷）me for my negligence.

[1]我在賓館里忙著處理文件，而馬斯頓卻坐在沙發(fā)上打盹兒，書還放在膝蓋上。我生怕他著涼，就把他叫醒：“先生，該上床休息了。”
[2] “哦，我白天太累了，翻閱了那么多與項(xiàng)目相關(guān)的文件。我得上床睡覺啦，晚安，明天見吧。”
[3]我開玩笑說：“馬斯頓，太謝謝你了，白天你幫我不少忙。不然，這么多文件，我真是一籌莫展。請(qǐng)別再呆著打盹了。趕緊上床，美美地睡上一覺吧！”
[4]我二話沒說，就又埋頭于文件堆里，因?yàn)槊魈炀偷孟蛴嘘P(guān)部門提交這些文件。我還得熬夜苦戰(zhàn)通宵，核對(duì)所有的材料，確保萬無一失。如果有任何疏漏，我們項(xiàng)目的批準(zhǔn)就可能會(huì)延遲。 真是那樣，我會(huì)深深地自責(zé)，因疏忽而受到良心的譴責(zé)。
