ESL 002

The worst part of the day for me is definitely when I have to get up.

一天当中最让我难受的时刻，绝对是要起床的那一下。

Waking up, that I can handle.

光是在被窝里醒来，这我还能应付。

But getting up? That, I hate.

可是真的要爬起来？那我是真心讨厌。

The covers I have on my bed are heavy, mostly because I have a comforter as well as a light blanket.

我床上的被褥很沉，主要因为我除了有一条薄毯，还压了一床厚被。

I sleep with two pillows, which for some reason have different color pillowcases.

我睡觉用两个枕头，不知怎么的，它们的枕套颜色还不一样。

Well, at least the sheets match.

唉，至少床单还算是配套的。

I sometimes wake up before the alarm goes off.

我有时候不用等闹钟响，自己就先醒了。

I like to keep the alarm at a low volume, with some classical music, nothing too jarring.

我喜欢把闹钟音量调得很低，再配点古典音乐，反正别太刺耳就行。

My old roommate used to like the terrible buzzer that you find on most alarm clocks nowadays, which always used to drive me nuts.

我以前的室友偏偏就喜欢如今大多数闹钟上那种难听的蜂鸣声，那动静总能把我逼疯。

As I was saying, I sometimes wake up before the alarm, usually because of some noise outside the house— a car door slamming, an alarm going off, gunfire— well, okay, not gunfire, but man, is my neighborhood noisy!

就像刚才说的，我有时会在闹钟响之前就醒，多半是屋外有什么动静——车门砰的一声、哪个闹钟在响、还有枪声——呃，好吧，其实没有枪声，不过天哪，我们这片儿也实在太吵了！

Of course, when I’m staying in a hotel, it’s usually easier to just get a wake up call from the hotel than set the alarm.

当然啦，住酒店的时候，与其自己调闹钟，通常不如直接让酒店来个叫醒电话来得省事。

I’m not really an early riser, so I don’t jump out of bed ready to take on the world.

我算不上能早起的人，所以不会一骨碌跳下床、干劲十足地准备大干一场。

I get up very slowly, usually one foot on the floor at a time.

我起得特别慢，通常一次只先把一只脚探到地板上。

Every once in awhile I’ll oversleep, but not too often.

偶尔我也会睡过头，不过次数不多。

I really love the weekends, when I can sleep in.

我真心热爱周末——那时候终于可以睡个懒觉。
