地道英语：彻夜未眠

　　Havent slept a wink

　　Neil: (Yawning) Welcome to Authentic Real English with me - a very tired Neil - and Feifei.

　　Feifei: (Yawning) 大家好!我是冯菲菲。欢迎收听今天这期睡意满满的《地道英语》节目。

　　Neil: Oh, Feifei, Im so tired!

　　Feifei: Me too. The kids?

　　Neil: Ah, they kept me awake all night. As soon as one of them went back to sleep, the other one started screaming. Whats your excuse?

　　Feifei: A mosquito.

　　Neil: A mosquito?

　　Feifei: Yes, there was a mosquito in my room. Every time I turned the light off and tried to go to sleep I heard buzzing in my ear. 昨天晚上睡觉的时候，我房间里进了只蚊子，我一关灯，它就出来嗡嗡翁，搞的我都快要疯了。I havent slept a wink.

　　Neil: And I havent slept a wink either! A wink is when you close and open one of your eyes very quickly once - usually to show friendliness or that you are having a joke with someone. Its also a verb - to wink .

　　Feifei: A wink 眨眼，一眨眼间。To wink 向谁挤眼，眨眼。 如果我们说 I havent slept a wink 意思就是我眼睛都没合一下，彻夜未眠。这个表达比较夸张。

　　Neil: Here are some examples:

　　A: You look terrible! Whats the matter?

　　B: I havent slept a wink. It was a really bad idea to move to a flat next to a pub.

　　A: How about a trip to the cinema tonight?

　　B: Sorry I cant. I havent slept a wink. There were cats outside fighting all night.

　　Neil: So, we can use I havent slept a wink to say that we are very tired because we havent had much sleep. I cant wait to get home tonight and just jump into bed (Yawns) I dont know how Im going to get through the rest of this programme, let alone the rest of the work day.

　　Feifei: (Yawns) Me neither.

　　Neil: Nice and quiet in here, isnt it?

　　Feifei: And dark.

　　Neil: Do you think anyone would notice if we just

　　Feifei: Thats a great idea! Ill just put these two chairs together.

　　Neil: And Ill rest my head on this desk and (snoring)

　　(Sound of babies screaming and mosquitos buzzing)

　　Neil: Argh theres nowhere to escape!

　　Feifei: Argh!

　　Neil: Kids! Mosquitos! Urgh!
