It's a little bit light out now, but I actually got up at 5:00 a.m. today because I had a few things I had to do this morning and it was dark outside.

現在天還有點亮，但實際上，我今天早上 5 點就起床了，因為我今天早上有幾件事情要做，現在外面一片漆黑。

But as it started to get light out, I thought I should do an English lesson about different phrases we use in the morning.

但隨著天色漸亮，我想我應該上一堂關於我們早上使用的不同短語的英語課 。

So I thought the first thing I should talk about in this lesson about mornings is sunrise.

我想在這一課中首先談論的是日出。

It hasn't quite happened yet, but sunrise is the time of day when the sun comes above the horizon.

雖然還沒有發生，但日出是一天中太陽從地平線升起的時刻。

The sun will come up in about five minutes.

太陽將在五分鐘後出現。

The sun will rise in about five minutes.

太陽將在五分鐘後升起。

That's the two phrases we use to talk about it.

這就是我們用來談論它的兩個短語。

So sunrise is the time of day when the sun comes up.

日出是指太陽升起的時間。

It's the time of day when the sun rises and things get a little bit brighter.

這是一天中太陽升起，事物變得稍微明亮的時刻。

Unfortunately, it's quite cloudy today.

不幸的是，今天陰天。

So even though the sun's coming up in a couple of minutes, I don't think we're going to be able to see it.

所以，即使再過幾分鐘太陽就要升起了，我不認為我們能看到它。

This was a good day to do a lesson about mornings because I was up early, but the weather isn't really cooperating.

這是進行關於早晨的課程的好日子，因為我起得很早，但天氣並不是很理想。

So just use your imagination.

所以，發揮你的想象力吧。

In just a few minutes, we will see sunrise.

再過幾分鐘，我們就能看到日出了。

The sun will rise, the sun will come up just over there in the east.

太陽會升起，太陽將在那東方升起。

Oh, and by the way, just so you know, at night the sun will go down.

哦，順便一提，你們要知道，夜晚太陽會下山。

In the west, we will have sunset, the sun will go down, the sun will set in the west and then it'll start to get dark.

在西邊會日落，太陽會下山，然後天就開始變暗。

So I got up really early this morning and the English phrase I would use to describe that is at the crack of dawn this morning. Jen and I got up at the crack of dawn.

所以我今天早上很早起床，我用來形容的英語短語是 "at the crack of dawn this morning"。珍和我在黎明時分起床。

One of my kids had to go on a school trip and they needed to be at school really early.

我的其中一個孩子得參加學校的郊遊，他們需要很早就到學校。

So we got up at the crack of dawn.

所以我們一大早就起床。

So technically, the crack of dawn would be when the sun comes up and that hasn't really happened yet, but we would still use that phrase like, "Hey, did you get up early yesterday?"

所以從技術上來說，黎明時分是太陽升起的時候，而那還沒發生，但我們仍然會使用這個短語，比如，「嘿，你昨天早起了嗎？」

"Oh, I was up at the crack of dawn. I was up super early."

「哦，天剛亮我就起床了。我起得超級早。」

Another phrase we use to talk about the early morning is bright and early.

我們用來描述清晨的另一個短語是「陽光明媚」。

Bright, of course, referring to the fact that there's light outside and early just means early.

當然，「明亮」指的是外面有光，而「早」就是指早。

I could say something like this, "I need to get up bright and early tomorrow because I'm going on a trip."

我可以這樣說：「我明天得早早地起床，因為我要去旅行。」

"I need to get up bright and early tomorrow because I have lots of work to do."

「我明天得早早地起床，因為我有很多工作要做。」

I got up bright and early this morning because my kid had to be at school for a school trip.

我今天一大早就起床了，因為我的孩子必須去參加學校旅行。

So it's similar to at the crack of dawn.

這就類似於 at the crack of dawn。

It's simply a fun way to refer to the early morning.

這只是一種有趣的方式來指清晨。

Even though the early morning might not be a fun time, there are at least some fun phrases to use to talk about it.

即使早上早起可能不是一個有趣的時光，但至少有一些有趣的短語可以用來談論它。

So I'm going to teach you four quick phrases that you would say if you need to wake someone up in the morning.

我要教你四個快速的短語，如果你需要在早上叫醒某人。

The first one's really easy.

第一個非常簡單。

You would just say wake up.

就是說「起床」。

The second one is to say, it's time to get up.

第二個是說「該起床了」。

That's a little more formal, like, "Hey, it's time to get up."

這就比較正式了，比如「嘿，該起床了。」

Meaning you should wake up because you should start your day.

意思是你應該醒來，因為你應該開始新的一天。

When our kids were little, sometimes we would just say, "Wakey, wakey."

孩子們小的時候，有時我們只會說「醒醒」。

It's kind of a fun way to say that it's time to wake up.

這是一種有趣的方式說是該起床了。

And then the last one that you might say is rise and shine.

最後一個可以說「快起床！」

So just like the sun will rise and shine, sometimes we tell people, hey, rise and shine.

就像太陽會升起和照耀一樣，有時我們告訴人們，嘿，起床吧。

It's time to start your day.

是時候開始新的一天了。

It's time to wake up.

該醒醒了。

There are a couple of morning phrases that you might hear when you watch a TV show or you might read in a book.

你在看電視節目或在書中讀到時可能會聽到一些早晨短語。

They're a little bit older, but I still do hear them sometimes.

他們有點古老，但我有時還是會聽到。

And it's the phrase first light or the break of day.

就是「first light」或「break of day」。

So if you watch a movie and it's a bunch of people camping in the woods, maybe it takes place a long time ago.

所以如果你看一部電影，看到一群人在樹林裡露營，也許故事發生在很久以前。

The person in charge might say, "Time to go to sleep, everybody. We're going to leave at the break of day."

負責人可能會說：「大家該睡覺了。天一亮我們就出發。」

Or "We're going to leave at first light."

或者「天一亮我們就走。」

So not phrases you would use in everyday English, but phrases you definitely might read or definitely might hear if you're watching something or reading something.

這些不是你在日常英語中會使用的短語，而是你在觀看或閱讀某些內容時肯定可能會讀到或肯定可能聽到的短語。

So as you know, some people love mornings and other people don't like mornings.

如你所知，有些人喜歡早晨，有些人不喜歡。

Some people like getting up at the crack of dawn or bright and early and other people would rather sleep in.

有些人喜歡在黎明或天明時起床，而有些人則寧願睡懶覺。

If I was to talk about someone who likes mornings, I would call them a morning person.

如果我要談論一個喜歡早晨的人，我會稱他們為「早起的人」。

A morning person is someone who probably likes to go to bed early and loves getting up early in the morning.

早起的人可能喜歡去早睡早起。

I'm not really a morning person.

我不是一個喜歡早起的人。

I don't really mind getting up early if I've had a good night's sleep, but I wouldn't say I'm jumping out of bed at five or 6:00 a.m. every day full of energy.

如果我睡了一晚好覺，我並不介意早起，但我不會說我每天早上五點或六點就從床上跳起來，精力充沛。

I do like to sleep till about 6:30 or seven every day.

我喜歡每天睡到六點半或七點左右。

So I'm not really a morning person, but I definitely know a lot of people who are and I really admire them.

所以我並不是一個真正的早起者，但我確實認識很多這樣的人，我真的很欽佩他們。

You can get a lot done when you get up early in the morning.

早上起床後你可以做很多事。

Well, hey, thanks for watching this little English lesson about a few phrases you can use to talk about the morning.

嗯，嘿，感謝你觀看這節英語小課，其中有關一些可以用來談論早晨的短語。

I'm sorry that the sun didn't actually come up while I was doing this lesson.

很抱歉，當我上這堂課時，太陽並沒有真正升起。

It is actually up somewhere.

它其實就在某個地方。

We just can't see it right now.

只是我們現在還看不到。

Let me see, what time is it?

讓我看看，現在幾點了？

Yeah, apparently the sun came up ten minutes ago.

是啊，顯然太陽十分鐘前就升起來了。

Sunrise was ten minutes ago. The sun came up.

日出是在十分鐘前。太陽已經出來了。

The sun rose ten minutes ago, but there are too many clouds to see it, so.

十分鐘前太陽剛剛升起，但雲太多看不到，所以看不到。

Oh, well, a little bit of a failure on that front, but at least I got this lesson done for you.

哦，好吧，這方面有點失敗，但至少我為你們上完了這一課。
