中文里形容早起,
有成语“闻鸡起舞”,也有俗语
“早起的鸟儿有虫吃”
而英文里则有一个“morning person ”来形容早起的人
Morning person
A morning person means someone who feels awake and full of energy in the mornings.
这个短语表达的意思是:(习惯)早起的人
例:
I hate waking up early for work, so I m totally not a morning person.
我讨厌早起上班, 所以我绝对不是一个爱早起的人。
My mom is a morning person.
She usually wakes up at 6 am and she thinks being a morning person may actually be good for health.
我的妈妈是一个习惯早起的人。她总是早上 6 点起床。她认为做一个早起的人确实也有益于身体健康。
常用来形容“早起的人”的表达还有:
early bird
Early bird means a person who gets up or arrives early.
这个词组较容易理解,就是我们常说的“早起的鸟儿有虫吃”。
例:
Tom is an early bird. He is always the first to arrive in school.
Tom是个早起的人,他总是第一个到达学校。
night person
与morning person相对应的night person
一般形容晚睡的人,也就是夜猫子
例:
Are you a night person or a morning person?
你是一个夜猫子还是一个早起的人。
He is really a night person, he always stays up very late.
他真是个夜猫子,他经常熬到很晚。
Owl的字面意思是“猫头鹰”,这个翻译起来就是非常贴切了。
A night owl means a person who prefers to be awake and active at night.
猫头鹰和夜猫子一样,白天睡觉,夜晚清醒。
例:
When the important exams come,Jack becomes a night owl .
当有重要考试时,杰克就变成了一只夜猫子。
