这组词都与“睡”有关,但侧重点有所不同。
1. sleep 强调“睡觉”这一动作,是延续性动词,可与表示时间的状语连用。如:
She slept for eight hours.
她睡了八个小时。
2. be asleep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:
The boy is fast asleep.
男孩睡得很香。
The little baby is sound asleep.
这个小婴儿睡得很熟。
3. fall asleep 意指“睡着”,表示一个动作,侧重于“无意识地入睡、不想入睡而入睡”的含义。如:
My father was just falling asleep when there was a loud knock at the door.
我父亲刚睡着,就有人使劲敲门。
She doesn’t know when she fell asleep last night.
她不知道昨晚什么时候睡着的。
4. go to sleep意为“入睡,设法睡着”,强调入睡的动作,即begin to sleep。如:
She was so tired that she went to sleep soon.
她很累,不久就睡着了。
5. get to sleep意为“睡着、入眠”,强调进入睡眠状态,且多用于否定句、疑问句或条件句中。如:
He was waiting for the sound of the other shoe! He couldn’t get to sleep.
他在等另一只鞋的落地声!他睡不着。
6. go to bed 意为“就寝、上床睡觉”,着重指上床准备睡觉的动作,无“睡着”之意。一般来说,是go to bed在前,然后才go/get to sleep或fall asleep。如:
She usually goes to bed at ten o’clock and goes to sleep/falls asleep five minutes later.
她通常10点钟就寝,5分钟后入睡。
