地道表達
be out like a light
1. 解釋
Like a light的意思與“燈”沒有任何關係,其實際意思是“睡著”。而對話中在like a light前面有個副詞out,即為:out like a light,其意思就帶有“不省人事,昏睡,被擊昏”的意思了。
2. 例句
e.g. After the sustained effort of the day I lay down on the bed and went out like a light.
持續不斷地苦幹了一整天后,我一躺在床上就昏昏入睡了。
e.g. After working a twelve hour shift yesterday, I was out like a light as soon as I got into bed.
昨天經過十二小時輪班工作後,我一躺到床上就睡著了。
