Lucy says she hated making her bed when she was little - when she was younger - "but now it’s become a routine 1." 露西说她小时候,也就是年纪小的时候,讨厌收拾床铺,“但是现在这变成了例行程序。”
A routine, "routine," is something that you do - a normal way that you do something, usually on a regular basis 2. 例行程序(routine)的意思是你通常定期做的某些事,也是一种日常做事方式。
So, my routine when I get up may be to go to the bathroom and clean my face. Every day I do the same thing; that's my routine. 我起床之后的程序是去卫生间,然后洗脸。每天都是同样的事情,这就是我的例行程序。
"Sometimes," Lucy says, she's "so tired that" she sleeps "in for just a little too long." 露西说,“有时”,她“很累”,“就会多睡一会”。
To sleep in (two words) means 3 to sleep longer than you are supposed to. 多睡会儿(sleep in)意思是到了该起床的时间还要继续睡。
If you are supposed to wake up at 6:30 and you sleep until 7:00 that would be sleeping in. 如果你应该六点半起来,而你睡到了七点,这就是多睡会儿。
When she sleeps in, her bed doesn't get made, that is she doesn't make her bed. 她多睡一会,床就没人收拾了,也就是说,她不会收拾床铺了。
1 routine
n.例行公事,惯例;adj.例行的,常规的
- It is everyday routine.这是每天的例行公事。
- She found the hospital routine slightly dull.她感到医院的工作有点枯燥乏味。
