外国朋友常说“I must have slept funny”来表达“they woke up with some kind of muscle pain - often a stiff neck - and attribute it to an awkward position during sleep.”。
睡觉姿势不当的人很容易落枕,而“sleep funny”正是用来形容因睡觉姿势不当而导致的身体不适,尤其是脖子或颈部的不适,也就是“落枕”,在这个短语里,“funny” 的意思是“稍有不适的(slightly ill)”。
需要注意的是,“sleep funny”是一种非正式用语,通常在口语交流中使用,而 “落枕”则是正式的医学术语,用来描述颈部或脊椎的一种疼痛症状。
例句:
You don't look well, what happened?
你看上去脸色不太好,怎么了?
Nothing serious, I slept funny.
没啥事,我落枕了。
有过落枕经验的人都知道,落枕后脖子不仅有酸痛感,而且还很僵硬,“stiff”是“僵硬的”,所以“stiff neck”也是“落枕”的意思,这个表达比sleep funny更常见。
例句:
How about playing volleyball in the gym?
去体育馆打排球怎么样?
I'm afraid not, because I got a stiff neck.
我恐怕去不了,因为我落枕了。
落枕的滋味很不好受,大家都希望每天都可以睡个好觉,我们可以用“sleep tight”表达“睡个好觉”。
例句:
Sleep tight, my darling.
睡个好觉,亲爱的。
