So, as many of you know, the ideas for these English lessons come from my own life, and today I'm tired.

你們很多人都知道，這些英語課的創意來自我的生活，而今天我很累。

So today you get an English lesson about being tired.

所以，今天你們要上一堂關於 "累 "的英語課。

So let's start by talking about the reason why I'm tired.

所以，讓我們先談談我累的原因吧。

And as I give you my three reasons, they're also common phrases that all English speakers use when talking about being tired.

當我說出我的三個理由時，它們也是所有說英語的人在談論疲倦時常用的短語。

Those are very common ways to describe why you are tired.

這些都是描述疲倦原因的常見方式。

We went to see the Toronto Blue Jays, and I didn't get home until quarter to two, and

我們去看了多倫多藍鳥隊的比賽，直到兩點一刻我才回到家。

So three common phrases you can use to describe why you're tired.

所以，你可以用三個常用短語來描述你為什麼疲倦。

You can say I was up late, you can say I stayed up late, or you can say I went to bed late.

你可以說我起晚了，可以說我熬夜了，也可以說我睡晚了。

So of course it's not just going to bed late that can make you tired.

是以，當然不僅僅是晚睡會讓人疲憊。

Sometimes you have to get up early in the morning.

This past Saturday I had to get up early.

It's a bad mix, so I think that's why I'm extra tired.

這是一個糟糕的組合，所以我想這就是為什麼我特別累。

My son needed to be somewhere, so I got up early. I had to get up early.

我兒子需要去一個地方，所以我起了個大早。我必須早起。

I was up early on Saturday in order to bring him to where he needed to go.

為了把他帶到他需要去的地方，我週六起了個大早。

So sometimes you're tired because you go to bed too late, sometimes you're tired because you have to get up early, and sometimes it's actually both.

所以，有時候你累是因為你睡得太晚，有時候你累是因為你必須早起，有時候其實兩者都有。

Now of course in English we like to emphasize sometimes, and in the sentences I just taught you I would use the words way too in order to emphasize.

當然，在英語中，我們有時喜歡強調，在我剛才教你們的句子中，為了強調，我也會用 "way "這個詞。

I would say that "Friday I was up way too late."

我想說，星期五我起得太晚了。

"Saturday morning I got up way too early."

"Saturday morning I was up way too early," and "Saturday morning I had to get up way too early.

週六早上，我起得太早。週六早上，我不得不早早起床。

So you just add those two little words and it really emphasizes what you're trying to communicate.

是以，只要加上這兩個小詞，就能真正強調你想要表達的意思。

So you might think I'm wearing sunglasses because I have bags under my eyes.

你可能以為我戴墨鏡是因為我有眼袋。

其實我不覺得，至少不會太糟糕。

It's Monday today and I was up late Friday night and I got up early Saturday, so you think I would have recovered by now, but no, I'm not wearing sunglasses to hide the bags under my eyes, which is a common thing to have when you're tired.

今天是週一，我週五晚上熬夜，週六又起了個大早，所以你以為我現在應該已經恢復了，但是沒有，我沒有戴墨鏡來掩蓋我的眼袋，這是疲憊時的常見現象。

I'm just wearing them because it's really sunny.

我穿這雙鞋是因為天氣非常晴朗。

So if someone was to ask me why I seem so tired, I would probably answer kind of abruptly, not even using a complete sentence.

是以，如果有人問我為什麼看起來這麼累，我可能會回答得有點唐突，甚至不會用一個完整的句子。

If someone said, "Bob, you seem really tired today, what's up?"

如果有人說，鮑勃，你今天好像很累，怎麼了？

And then that would communicate to the person that I'm tired because I didn't get enough sleep.

這樣就會讓對方覺得我很累，因為我睡眠不足。

I might also just say, "Ugh, not enough sleep."

我可能還會說，唉，睡眠不足。

Basically the same thing, indicating to them that I'm tired because I didn't get enough sleep or because of a lack of sleep.

基本上是一樣的，向他們表示我累是因為睡眠不足或睡眠不足。

So how do you actually say that you're tired in English?

那麼，如何用英語表達 "累了 "呢？

If someone said to me, "Bob, how are you feeling today?"

如果有人對我說，鮑勃，你今天感覺怎麼樣？

I would say, "Oh, I'm tired because I stayed up way too late on Friday night."

我會說，哦，我累了，因為週五晚上我熬夜熬得太晚了。

你也可以說，我已經筋疲力盡了。

Like if you're really tired and you want to emphasize how tired you are, you might say,

比如，如果你真的很累，想強調自己有多累，你可以說

If you actually feel like you might fall asleep, like maybe you're sitting in a meeting and they turn the lights off, or you're in a classroom and they turn the lights off to show a movie or something on the projector, you might say, I'm drowsy or I'm sleepy.

如果你真的覺得自己可能會睡著，比如你坐在會議上，他們把燈關了，或者你在教室裡，他們把燈關了，用投影儀放電影什麼的，你可能會說，我昏昏欲睡，或者我困了。

That literally means that you might fall asleep.

Like your eyes might just kind of go shut and you might fall asleep.

就像你的眼睛可能會閉上，你可能會睡著。

And then the phrase we use to describe that is, "I can hardly keep my eyes open," or I'm barely able to keep my eyes open.

我們用來描述這種情況的短語是：我幾乎睜不開眼睛，或者說我幾乎睜不開眼睛。

Sometimes you're just so tired, your body kind of takes over and says, "Hey, we're going to sleep right now."

有時你實在太累了，身體會接管一切，說：嘿，我們現在就去睡覺。

It's usually bad when that happens, but sometimes when you're really tired, you can hardly keep your eyes open.

這種情況通常很糟糕，但有時你真的累了，眼睛幾乎睜不開。

So there's a couple older words that mean that you're tired that we don't really use anymore.

所以，有幾個表示你累了的老詞，我們已經不再使用了。

And they're the words fatigued and weary.

它們就是疲勞和疲倦這兩個詞。

Now I should say, I don't really use them anymore.

現在我應該說，我真的不再用它們了。

You might actually hear them if you watch an old movie or if you're reading an older book.

如果你看的是一部老電影，或者讀的是一本老書，你可能真的會聽到它們的聲音。

Someone might say, "Oh, I'm very fatigued" or "I'm very weary."

有人可能會說，哦，我很疲勞，或者我很疲倦。

But to me, they sound like older words that aren't very common anymore.

但在我看來，這兩個詞聽起來像是已經不太常見的老詞。

I think English learners like to use the word fatigued because it is common in other languages, or it's, you know, it's equivalent.

我認為英語學習者喜歡用 fatigued 這個詞，因為它在其他語言中很常見，或者說，你知道，它是等同的。

It might even look the same in your language.

甚至在您的語言中看起來都是一樣的。

But two words that we don't really use very much anymore, fatigued and weary.

但有兩個詞我們已經不怎麼用了，疲勞和厭倦。

So sometimes you're tired because of a lack of sleep, but sometimes you're tired because you just did something physical.

是以，有時你會因為睡眠不足而感到疲倦，但有時你會因為剛剛做了一些體力活而感到疲倦。

Maybe you worked out at the gym or you went for a long hike and you're feeling tired.

也許你在健身房鍛鍊過，或者去遠足過，現在感覺很累。

In those situations, we use slightly different phrases.

在這些情況下，我們使用的短語略有不同。

You might say, "I'm pooped," which is kind of a funny phrase.

你可能會說 "我拉屎了"，這句話有點滑稽。

I'm not going to tell you what poop means, but when you say I'm pooped, it means you're really tired, usually physically tired.

我不會告訴你 "大便 "是什麼意思，但當你說 "我拉屎了 "時，這意味著你真的累了，通常是身體上的疲憊。

你可能會說，哦，我被打敗了。

The other day I had to dig in the ground for Jen.

有一天，我不得不為珍妮挖地。

And when I was done that, I was like, "Whew, I'm beat."

當我做完這些，我就想，哇，我被打敗了。

Basically saying I'm physically very tired.

然後你可能會說，我已經筋疲力盡了。

After a long day, you might be both physically and mentally tired and you would say,"Oh, I'm worn out."

經過漫長的一天，你可能身心俱疲，你會說，哦、我累壞了。

If you went on a really long hike, at the end of the hike, you might say, "Oh, I'm worn out. That was very, very difficult. And now I'm tired. I'm worn out."

如果你去遠足，在遠足結束時，你可能會說，哦，我累壞了。這非常非常困難。 現在我累了。 我累壞了。

Sometimes when we're tired from a lack of sleep, we'll say that we need to catch up on sleep.

有時，當我們因睡眠不足而感到疲倦時，我們會說我們需要補覺。

We need to catch up on sleep, which I don't think is actually possible.

我們需要補覺，我覺得這實際上是不可能的。

If you sleep for six hours one night, you can't just sleep for 12 hours the next night and then feel like everything is 100% again.

如果你前一天晚上只睡了 6 個小時，那麼第二天晚上就不可能只睡 12 個小時，然後就覺得一切都恢復正常了。

But what you can do is you can have a nap.

但你可以做的是，你可以打個盹。

When you have a nap or when you take a nap, it means you sleep for 10 minutes or 30 minutes in the middle of the day.

當你小睡或打盹時，意味著你在一天當中睡了 10 分鐘或 30 分鐘。

Instead of sleeping at night, maybe after lunch, you sit on the couch or you lie down on the couch and you take a nap or you have a nap.

你晚上不睡覺，也許吃完午飯後，你會坐在沙發上或躺在沙發上打個盹或睡個午覺。

If I sleep for more than an hour, like if I have more than an hour nap, I usually don't feel good.

如果我睡超過一個小時，比如午睡超過一個小時，我通常會感覺不舒服。

10 minutes is just the right amount of time for me to have a nap.

對我來說，10 分鐘正好可以打個盹。
