　　你睡美容觉了吗？

　　Jessica在北京学中文，她的中国朋友要是遇到了不知道用美语怎么说的词，就会来请教她。今天是Lulu要问的：美容觉。

　　Jessica：Hey Lulu，I havent seen you in ages! Hows it going?

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

　　Jessica: Im good! Speaking of which, some of us are going to Karaoke tonight, youve got to come with us!

　　LULU: 我想去，但我明天得见一个大客户，我们又是公关公司，得保持好形象。所以我今天得早点回家，睡个美容觉。今天你睡美容觉了吗?

　　Jessica: Beauty sleep? You dont need a beauty sleep, Lulu, you are always beautiful!

　　LULU: 哈!原来美容觉就是beauty sleep!真好记。说真的，前一段时间为了搞定这个大客户，我整天加班，睡也睡不好!所以，我得回家补补觉!对了，这个补觉用美语要怎么说呀?

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

　　LULU: 啊?Catch up on some Zs?

　　Jessica: 对啊，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, 就是补觉的意思!那睡得不踏实，翻来覆去，又要怎么说呢?

　　Jessica: We call that toss and turn. Toss is spelled t-o-s-s, toss; and turn, t-u-r-n; toss and turn! 这个词组的意思就是辗转反侧，难以入眠!

　　LULU: 我最近因为要给这个客户写商业计划，老是睡不好。Ive 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? 这难道是休息眼睛的意思吗?

　　Jessica: Its close! Actually to get some shut-eye also means to catch up on some sleep, 也是睡觉的意思!

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

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