睡。
🚩sleep最常用,指“人或者动物周期性为恢复体力而睡眠,也可以指其他时刻的睡眠;既可以指白天的睡眠,也可以指白天的睡觉”,柯林斯解释为When you sleep, you rest with your eyes closed and your mind and body inactive.。
如:
During the car journey, the baby slept.坐车来的路上,宝宝睡着了。
I've not been able to sleep for the last few nights. 前几个晚上,我一直都无法入睡。
🚩drowse指“昏昏欲睡的身心状态,打盹儿,打瞌睡,半睡半醒”,柯林斯解释为If you drowse, you are almost asleep or just asleep.。
如:
Nina drowsed for a while.尼娜打了会盹。
drowse away a hot afternoon 打着瞌睡度过炎热的下午
🚩doze尤其指“白天的小睡,短时间的小睡”,柯林斯解释为When you doze, you sleep lightly or for a short period, especially during the daytime.。
如:
For a while she dozed fitfully.有一阵子,她时睡时醒。
I dozed off during the film. 我看电影时打起盹儿来了。
🚩nap也是指“白天的小睡”,柯林斯解释为If you nap, you sleep for a short period of time, usually during the day.。nap和doze的区别在于,doze有点“半睡半醒的状态,就是在小睡的时候可能还保持着清醒,即使你确实很困需要休息了,有点假寐的意味”;nap则是指“打瞌睡”,它还具有隐身含义是“该保持警觉或者警惕状态的时候却疏忽了,睡着了”。
如:
An elderly person may nap during the day and then sleep only five hours a night.老年人白天会小睡一会儿,然后晚上只睡5个小时
🚩snooze也指“白天的小睡”,柯林斯解释为If you snooze, you sleep lightly for a short period of time.。它与nap近似,但是snooze没有其他引申意义,并且snooze含有“睡得不沉”的意味,用于口语中。
如:
Mark snoozed in front of the television... 马克在电视机前打起盹儿来。
Patients are given an extra 15 minutes to snooze before being woken gently. 在被轻轻叫醒之前,病人还有 15 分钟的小睡时间。
🚩slumber文学味道比较强,是指“平静而安详的睡眠,尤其指睡得安稳而舒服”,牛津词典解释为sleep, especially peacefully and comfortably。
如:
The baby was slumbering peacefully. 孩子睡得正香。
🚩catnap是指“在活动间歇,断断续续地短暂睡眠,目的在于恢复体力”,多用于口语中。
如:
stay in top form by catnapping whenever he has a spare moment他一有空就睡一会,保持良好的身体状况。
