Words Useful Phrases 1. “夜猫子”英语怎么说 大家是喜欢熬夜，还是习惯早睡早起？在大城市中，似乎很难拒绝夜生活，不管是外出泡吧，还是宅在家中泡网。估计有不少人都是属夜猫子的吧，今天就来看看“夜猫子”这个词英语怎么说。请看上海日报的报导：Shanghai police yesterday reassured the citys resident and visiting night owls that legal bars and clubs were not facing mass closures or raids.上海警方昨日宣布，世博期间合法酒吧和夜店将不会关闭。上面这篇报导中所用的night owl一词就是我们所说的“夜猫子”，在英语的表述中，“猫”变成了“猫头鹰”，因为人们觉得猫头鹰就是那种很晚都不睡觉的动物。熬夜的人要么是为了工作，work the night shift，值夜班，要么是enjoy the night life，或者是因为失眠，insomnia。与night owl相对应，早睡早起的人被称为early bird，人们常说The early bird catches the worm，早起的鸟儿有虫吃。这句话提醒我们，夜晚的生活再美好，晨光还是不可错过，毕竟全新的一天是从早上太阳升起的时候开始的哦。 A: Do you want to come in for some tea? A: 你要不要进来喝个茶呢? B: No. Im running late. I really need to hit the road. B: 不了.我快迟到了, 得上路了. running late 是快迟到了的意思. Hit the road 的 hit 有「去」的意思.好比某人每周去健身房三次, 你就可以说 He hits the gym three times a week.. I really need to hit the road. 还可以用说成I really need to get going. (2) 【hang out 和朋友在一起】 A: I dont know what is going on lately. Jack seems to curse alot these days. A: 不知道最近 Jack 怎么搞的.他经常口出恶言. B: Well, thats just what you get from hanging out with thewrong crowd. B: 嗯
