   The worst part of the day for me is definitely 1 when I have to get up. 对我来说,一天中最糟糕的事情莫过于起床了。


  Waking up, that I can handle. But getting up? That, I hate. 醒来,我倒是可以。但是起床?我很讨厌。
  The covers I have on my bed are heavy, mostly because I have a comforter as well as a light blanket. 我床上盖的东西很重,大多是因为我有一床被子和一条薄毯。
  I sleep with two pillows 2, which for some reason have different color pillowcases. Well, at least the sheets match. 我睡觉要用两个枕头,由于某种原因,它们有不同颜色的枕套。管它呢,至少被单和床单的颜色是一样的。
  I sometimes wake up before the alarm goes off. 有时候我会在闹钟响之前醒来。
  I like to keep the alarm at a low volume 3, with some classical 4 music, nothing too jarring. 我喜欢把闹钟的声音调小,放一些古典音乐,一点也不刺耳。
  My old roommate used to like the terrible buzzer 5 that you find on most alarm clocks nowadays, which always used to drive me nuts. 我以前的室友喜欢那种很吵的闹铃,现在这种铃声在闹钟上很常见,那时候这些声音经常会把我逼疯。
  As I was saying, I sometimes wake up before the alarm, usually because of some noise outside the house- 我说过,有时候我会在闹铃响之前醒来,一般是因为屋外的一些噪音——
  a car door slamming 6, an alarm going off, gunfire-well, okay, not gunfire, but man, is my neighborhood noisy! 轿车摔门声、汽车报警声、枪火声——呃,好吧,没有枪火声,可是天哪,我的邻居可真是吵啊!
  Of course, when I'm staying in a hotel, it's usually easier to just get a wake up call from the hotel than set the alarm. 当然,住宾馆的时候,接到宾馆的叫醒电话通常比设置闹钟要简单得多。
  I'm not really an early riser, so I don't jump out of bed ready to take on the world. 我并不是早起型的人,所以我不会跳下床准备好迎接新的一天。
  I get up very slowly, usually one foot on the floor at a time. Every once in a while I'll oversleep, but not too often. 我起床很缓慢,通常一只脚一只脚地下地。我时不时还会睡过头,不过不频繁。
  I really love the weekends, when I can sleep in. 我很喜欢周末,那时候可以睡懒觉。
