The Big Bang Theory,《生活大爆炸》
You kept yawning at the meeting.Why are you so tired?
你開會時一直打哈欠,你怎么那么累啊?
I was up all night trying to get the report done.
我一夜沒睡,在趕報告。
重點講解:
I didn't sleep all night
I was up all night.
想必大家都有熬夜的經歷,中文說的“熬夜”,也就是“一晚上沒睡”,英文用I didn't sleep all night.表達雖說沒錯,但是老外更常說I was up all night.這里的up就是“醒著的,沒睡覺的”意思。
