摘要 :根据一则新报道,英国有近五分之一的汽车司机曾在开车时打瞌睡,这个结果着实令人震惊。你知道怎么用英语表达吗?
Almost one in five drivers have dozed off behind the wheel, a shocking new report has revealed.
Of those who were nodding off, a worrying three in ten (29 per cent) have done so on the motorway doing speeds up to 70 miles per hour.
The report also found a quarter of men have fallen asleep while driving, making them almost twice as likely as women (13 per cent) to do so.
根据一则新报道,英国有近五分之一的汽车司机曾在开车时打瞌睡,这个结果着实令人震惊。
这些“瞌睡虫司机”中又有约十分之三(29%)在高速公路上以每小时70英里的速度行驶时打瞌睡,真是令人捏把汗。
开车时睡着过的男司机达25%,几乎是打瞌睡女司机的两倍(13%)。
【讲解】
文中的 doze off 就是“打瞌睡”的意思。doze是动词,解释为“打瞌睡”,通常与介词off搭配。doze也可以作名词用,如have a doze 打个盹儿、fell into a short doze 小睡。
另外,词组behind the wheel,字面意思是“坐在方向盘前”,即“开车”之意,如the woman behind the wheel 开车的女子。这里的wheel指方向盘,即相当于steering wheel。
