On a weekday, I usually get up around 6:30 a.m., but I set my alarm to go off at 6:20 so that I can hit the snooze button to sleep another 10 minutes. My roommate thinks I'm crazy, but doing this in the mornings actually helps me wake up. I'm a night owl, not an early bird like she is, so I need an extra few minutes to get going in the morning.
工作日早上,我通常六点半左右起床,但是我把闹钟设在六点二十,这样我可以按一下“贪睡按钮”再睡十分钟。我舍友觉得我古怪。但是每天早上这样做可以帮我清醒过来。我不是夜猫子,但也不是她那样的早起鸟,所以我早上需要多睡几分钟再起床开始新的一天。
One reason it’s so hard to get up is because my bedroom and my bed are so comfortable. I splurged and bought a bed with a very soft, thick mattress. I also have matching sheets and pillowcases, and a comforter that is made of goose down. Even my nightstand matches my sheets and the rest of my bedroom. I decorated it so that it would be restful after a busy day at work.
起床困难的一个原因就是我的卧室和床太舒服了。我花大价钱买了个床,床垫又软又厚。我也有配套的床单和枕套,还有厚鹅绒被子。就连我的床头柜也和我的床单还有卧室的其他部分很搭。我认真装饰了卧室,这样忙了一天的工作之后,回来可以好好休息。
When I get up, the first thing I do is put on my robe. It's always so cold in the apartment in the mornings, no matter what time of year it is. Then, I usually make my bed. I hated making my bed when I was little, but now it's become a routine. Sometimes, though, I'm so tired that I sleep in for just a little too long and then, the bed definitely doesn' t get made. On those days, I wish I could sleep in all day!
起床之后,第一件事就是穿上睡袍。因为公寓里一年到头早上都很冷。然后,我会收拾床铺。我小时候就讨厌收拾床铺,但是现在这变成了例行程序。然而,有时我很累,就会多睡一会,然后就没空收拾床铺了!那时候,我很希望我可以睡一整天。
