Jessica：Hey Lulu，I haven’t seen you in ages! How’s it going?

LULU: 很好很好!就是工作太忙。How are you doing yourself?

Jessica: I’m good! Speaking of which, some of us are going to Karaoke tonight, you’ve got to come with us!

LULU: 我想去，但我明天得見一個大客戶，我們又是公關公司，得保持好形象。所以我今天得早點回家，睡個美容覺。

Jessica: Beauty sleep? You don’t need a beauty sleep, Lulu, you are always beautiful!

LULU: 哈!原來美容覺就是beauty sleep!真好記。說真的，前一段時間為了搞定這個大客戶，我整天加班，睡也睡不好!所以，我得回家補補覺!對了，這個補覺用美語要怎么說呀?

Jessica: Let me see...you can say you need to catch up on some Zs.

LULU: 啊?Catch up on some Zs?

Jessica: 對啊，here we use the capital letter Z. It refers to the sound you make when you are asleep. Zzzz...you know?

LULU: 哈哈，太形象了!Catch up on some Zs, 就是補覺的意思!那睡得不踏實，翻來覆去，又要怎么說呢?

Jessica: We call that toss and turn. Toss is spelled t-o-s-s, toss; and turn, t-u-r-n; toss and turn! 這個詞組的意思就是輾轉反側，難以入眠!

LULU: 我最近因為要給這個客戶寫商業計劃，老是睡不好。I’ve been tossing and turning all night lately.

Jessica: Oh poor girl! You know what? I think you need to go home and get some shut-eye, we will hang out some other time!

LULU: Wait...get some shut-eye? 這難道是休息眼睛的意思嗎?

Jessica: It’s close! Actually to get some shut-eye also means to catch up on some sleep, 也是睡覺的意思!

LULU: Ok, I will go home now and get a 10-hour sleep!

Jessica: Sounds good! Before you go, tell me what you’ve learned today!

LULU: 第一，美容覺叫做 beauty sleep;

第二，補覺可以說 catch up on some Zs, 或者get some shut-eye;

第三，輾轉反側，叫做 toss and turn.
