杰夫的一天 第110期：睡前準(zhǔn)備和睡覺(jué)講解(2)

"I'm looking forward to having that ritual," a ritual, "ritual," is something that you do on a regular schedule “我期待能有這樣的慣例，”慣例(ritual)是指你定期做某事

or at a regular time every day or maybe every week or every month, and you do the exact same things in the exact same order. 或是每天、每周或每月定時(shí)做某事，你按照相同的順序做相同的事情。

We also use that word, ritual, when we are talking about some religious ceremonies. Some religious events 在談到一些宗教儀式的時(shí)候，我們也會(huì)使用“ritual”這個(gè)詞。一些宗教活動(dòng)

have certain rules — certain order — a certain order that they follow, and that is a ritual. 有特定的規(guī)定——特定的規(guī)矩——他們需要遵從的特定規(guī)矩，這就是儀式。

"I go into the bathroom and I turn on the tap." “我走進(jìn)衛(wèi)生間，打開(kāi)水龍頭。”

The tap, "tap," is the same as the faucet. “Tap”就是“水龍頭”的意思。

Well, you turn on the tap so the water comes out, "I wash my face, and I dry it with my towel." 嗯，你打開(kāi)水龍頭，讓水流出來(lái)，“我用水洗臉，然后用毛巾擦干。”

I dry my face — I make it dry using a towel, "towel," which is a cloth that you use to dry yourself or to clean yourself. 我擦干臉——用毛巾(towel)擦干，毛巾是你用來(lái)擦干或清潔自己的一塊布。

I floss my teeth and I brush them. 我先用牙線(xiàn)剔牙然后刷牙。

"I have to admit that by this time, I'm beat." “我必須承認(rèn)到了這時(shí)，我和我妻子都疲憊不堪了。”
