“熬夜”的英语地道表达
世界杯期间,不少人都会熬夜看球;考试前夕,很多同学会熬夜复习。随着工作学习压力的增大、娱乐生活内容的丰富,现代人似乎越来越习惯于熬夜了。可是熬夜多少会影响身体健康以及第二天的精神状态,所以大家还是要尽量避免熬夜。今天我们来看一些句子,学习其中关于“熬夜”的各种地道说法吧。
1.stay up熬夜
eg:I want to stay up tonight and watch the late show.今晚我不想睡觉,等着看深夜电视节目。
eg:I will make this radio work even if I have to stay up all night.即使通宵不眠,我也要把这台收音机修好。
2.Burn the midnight oil (熬夜)
以前的人都是用油灯来照明,如果有人在深夜时分燃点灯油,即表示那个人仍在努力的埋头苦干。现今,我们已不会再燃点油灯,但是这意思依然保留下来,因而有Burn the midnight oil这个成语的出现。Burn the midnight oil是指通宵达旦地工作,亦即是我们所谓的开夜车。要Burn the midnight oil的时候,实在是一件令人劳累的事,那么,大家就要小心身体了!
eg:“Angela is a workaholic. She always burns the midnight oil on her work.Angela是一个工作狂,她时常也在通宵工作。
3.相关成语Pull an all nighter
与Burn the midnight oil的意思相通。如:Teachers do not encourage students to pull an all nighter for exams. They should pay attention during lessons.”(老师不会鼓励学生在试前才温书至深夜,他们应该上课时专心听书才对。)
I stayed up late last night to watch the final game of the World Cup.

我不习惯熬夜。(keep late hours晚睡晚起)
Did you burn the mid-night oil again last night?你昨晚又熬夜了吗?
