杰夫的一天 第117期：睡前準(zhǔn)備和睡覺講解(9)

"I lay my head down and I pull up the covers," so I am warm, and because I'm such a great husband, I kiss "my wife goodnight." “我躺了下來然后蓋上被子，”因此我身子是溫暖的，因?yàn)槲沂悄７墩煞?，所以我親了一下“妻子并道了晚安”。

To kiss someone goodnight means to kiss them and, in a sense, to say goodnight to them. “To kiss someone goodnight”的意思是親吻他們，從某種意義上來說，就是跟他們道晚安。

"Some nights I have trouble falling asleep." “有些晚上，我會(huì)難以入眠。”

To fall, "fall," asleep, "asleep," means to go to sleep — to start sleeping. “To fall asleep”的意思是“入睡”——開始睡覺。

Sometimes "I have trouble falling asleep, but tonight, I didn't need to count any sheep." 有時(shí)“我會(huì)難以入眠，但今晚，我卻不用數(shù)羊了。”

The expression to count sheep, "sheep," is used because we traditionally when we are trying to fall asleep, 使用“to count sheep”這個(gè)表達(dá)是因?yàn)閭鹘y(tǒng)上當(dāng)我們努力想要睡著的時(shí)候，

some people say that it helps if you try counting numbers, so you start with one, two, three, four. 有人會(huì)說你試著數(shù)數(shù)是有助于睡眠的，因此你從1、2、3、4開始數(shù)起。

And, for some reason, I don't know why, it is traditional to count sheep. 不知道是什么原因，數(shù)羊助眠是個(gè)傳統(tǒng)。

Sheep are a type of animal. 綿羊是一種動(dòng)物。

A sheep is an animal that you take the hair off of, and you use the hair of the sheep to make clothing, for example. 綿羊是一種你可以減掉毛發(fā)的動(dòng)物，例如，你使用綿羊的毛發(fā)做衣服。
