摘要 :根据一则新报道,英国有近五分之一的汽车司机曾在开车时打瞌睡,这个结果着实令人震惊。你知道怎么用英语表达吗?
Almost one in five drivers have dozed off behind the wheel, a shocking new report has revealed.
Of those who were nodding off, a worrying three in ten (29 per cent) have done so on the motorway doing speeds up to 70 miles per hour.
The report also found a quarter of men have fallen asleep while driving, making them almost twice as likely as women (13 per cent) to do so.
根据一则新报道,英国有近五分之一的汽车司机曾在开车时打瞌睡,这个结果着实令人震惊。
这些“瞌睡虫司机”中又有约十分之三(29%)在高速公路上以每小时70英里的速度行驶时打瞌睡,真是令人捏把汗。
开车时睡着过的男司机达25%,几乎是打瞌睡女司机的两倍(13%)。
【讲解】
文中的 doze off 就是“打瞌睡”的意思。doze是动词,解释为“打瞌睡”,通常与介词off搭配。doze也可以作名词用,如have a doze 打个盹儿、fell into a short doze 小睡。
另外,词组behind the wheel,字面意思是“坐在方向盘前”,即“开车”之意,如the woman behind the wheel 开车的女子。这里的wheel指方向盘,即相当于steering wheel。

它们都与“睡”有关,但侧重点有所不同。sleep强调“睡觉”这一动作,是延续性动词,可与表示时间段的状语连用。如:Hesleptforeighthours.他睡了八个小时。Didyousleepwelllastnight?昨晚你睡得好吗?go/gettosleep指“睡着、入睡”。gotosleep强调“入睡”这个动作,即begintosleep;而gettosleep强调进入睡眠状态,且多用于否定句、疑问句或条件句中。如:Hewassotiredthathewenttosleepsoon.他很累,不久就睡着了。Iwaswaitingforthesoundoftheothershoe!Ican'tgettosleep.我在等另一只鞋落地声!我睡不着。fallasleep与go/gettosleep同义,可互换使用,但fallasleep侧重“无意识地入睡、不想入睡而入睡”的含义。如:Hewasjustfallingasleepwhentherewasaloudknockatthedoor.他刚睡着,就有人使劲敲门。Idon'tknowwhenIwenttosleep/gottosleep/fellasleeplastnight.我不知道昨晚什么时候睡着的。beasleep表示“睡着”的状态,是系表结构,其中asleep不能用very修饰,只能用sound,fast等词修饰。如:Thebabyisfastasleep.孩子睡得很香。gotobed意为“就寝、上床睡觉”,着重指上床准备睡觉的动作。一般说来,是gotobed在前,然后才go/gettosleep或fallasleep。如:Heusuallygoestobedatteno'clockandgoestosleep/fallsasleepfiveminutesafterwards.他通常十点钟就寝,五分种后入睡。
