英语口语练习小对话 第566期:睡着

2014-06-04来源:和谐英语

Subject:I was out like a light.

迷你对话

A: Wake up! The library is going to be closed. We have to leave for lunch now.

醒醒!图书馆要关门了,我们得去吃午饭了。

B: My God! I was out like a light.

天啊,我睡着了。

地道表达

be out like a light

1. 解释

Like a light的意思与“灯”没有任何关系,其实际意思是“睡着”。而对话中在like a light前面有个副词out,即为:out like a light,其意思就带有“不省人事,昏睡,被击昏”的意思了。

2. 例句

e.g. After the sustained effort of the day I lay down on the bed and went out like a light.

持续不断地苦干了一整天后,我一躺在床上就昏昏入睡了。

e.g. After working a twelve hour shift yesterday, I was out like a light as soon as I got into bed.

昨天经过十二小时轮班工作后,我一躺到床上就睡着了。
