托福词汇之“bed gravity床重力”
上班族每天除了要应对职场的各种压力之外,还有一个大敌是躲不掉的,那就是“早起”。为了能够按时被叫醒,不少人都定了好几个闹钟。可是,闹钟响起的时候,却也是床最有吸引力的时候。
Bed gravity is an irresistible force that draws you back to bed, or toward any mattress, couch, or other soft horizontal surface.
床重力是一股让你难以抵抗的力量,能将你拉回床、床垫、沙发或者其他一切软的可以平躺的物件上。
It is usually stronger when one or more persons are already sleeping on that furniture, or when you are woken up by the alarm while dreaming a beautiful dream.
如果已经有人躺倒在这些物件上,或者正做着美梦却被闹钟吵醒时,床重力的威力就会更加强大。
For example:
I have to fight bed gravity for at least 30 minutes every morning before struggling to get up.
我每天早晨从床上爬起来之前都至少要跟床重力斗争半个小时。
