夜猫子英文写法如下:
1、night owl
千万别把“夜猫子”翻译成night cat,这是错误的表达,正确是night owl。owl的意思是“猫头鹰”,由于猫头鹰晚上才出来溜达,用来比喻“夜猫子”。
例句
She is such a night owl that she stayed up late last night to get through the show.
她是一只夜猫子,昨晚熬夜追剧。
2、burn the midnight oil
正确的意思是“熬夜、开夜车”。
例句
She was burning the midnight oil to finish her project.
她工作到深夜,完成了自己的项目。
3、toss and turn
toss意思是“扔、翻面”,turn的意思是“转、转弯”。两个词结合起来,就像晚上睡不着“翻来覆去”的意思。
例句
It was so hot!I was tossing and turning all night!
昨晚真热!我整晚翻来覆去,睡不着。
