2.cat nap

打瞌睡的用法:

A " fat cat" is a person with a lot of money. You may have known that cats spend most of their time sleeping. Sometimes people sleep for a short time during the day. This is called a " cat nap."

fat cat(大款)是指很有钱的人。你可能知道猫大部分时间都在睡觉,有时人们会在白天睡一小会儿,这就叫cat nap(小睡)。

3.have a nap

打个盹

《哈利波特与凤凰社》中有这么一段:

《哈利波特与凤凰社》中有这么一段:

Harry sat fully clothed, hunched against the cold metal bars of the bedstead, keeping himself deliberately uncomfortable, determined not to fall into a doze, terrified that he might become the serpent again in his sleep and wake to find that he had attacked Ron, or else slithered through the house after one of the others . . . When Ron woke up, Harry pretended to have enjoyed a refreshing nap too.

哈利却和衣而坐,蜷曲着靠在冰冷的金属床栏上,故意让自己不舒服,决心不打瞌睡,惟恐睡着后再变成蛇,醒来发现他袭击了罗恩,或者游到其他房间。罗恩醒来后,哈利假装他也睡了个好觉。

再给大家举个例子:

例如你想表达某人有喜欢睡午觉的习惯,可以这样说:

Johnny made a habit of taking a nap after lunch.

约翰养成了午饭后小睡的习惯。

好的英语口语需要不断的总结和练习,用多了就会了。

学会了吗?
