| Lesson 59 - Sleeping Habits John: According to this article, adults are recommended 8 hours or more of sleep a night. Kathy: Eight hours or more? Isn’t that excessive? I get by on about six to seven hours, and I have plenty of energy to go around. John: I don’t know about you but if I don’t get my eight hours, I’m dragging all day and can hardly function. Kathy: You’re such a wimp. I’ll have to call you “Sleeping Beauty” from now on. John: You can make me the laughing-stock all you want but there’s something else you should know. Kathy: And what could that be? John: They say you’re more prone to gain weight if you don’t sleep enough. Kathy: Are you pulling my leg? You’re just saying that, aren’t you? John: No, I read it in the paper. You always want to lose weight and maybe this is one way to start. [해석] “잠자는 습관” John: 이 기사에 따르면, 성인은 하룻밤에 8시간 또는 그 이상의 수면이 필요하대. Kathy: 8시간 또는 그 이상? 너무 많은 거 아냐? 난 약 6시간에서 7시간 자면 그럭저럭 지낼 만 하던데, 그리고 여기저기 돌아다닐 만큼 에너지도 충분해. John: 넌 모르겠지만 난 8시간 자지 않으면 하루 종일 축 늘어져서 제대로 활동하지 못해. Kathy: 너 참 나약하다. 이제부턴 너를 “잠자는 공주”라고 불러야겠어. John: 원하면 나를 웃음거리로 만들 수 있지만, 네가 알아야 할 것이 있어. Kathy: 그게 뭔데? John: 충분히 자지 않으면 더 살이 찔수 있대. Kathy: 나 놀리는 거지? 그냥 그렇게 말하는 거지, 그렇지? John: 아니, 신문에서 읽었어. 넌 항상 살 빼고 싶어하니까, 아마 이게 시작 해 볼 수 있는 한 가지 방법이 될 거야. < Key ｅxpressions > ■ I get by on about six to seven hours, and I have plenty of energy to go around. ■ I’m dragging all day and can hardly function. ■ You can make me the laughing stock. ■ Are you pulling my leg? < Main dialogue > ■ Isn’t that excessive? * excessive = too much ■I get by on about six to seven hours, and I have plenty of energy to go around. * get by on something : ~로 그럭저럭 살아가다, ~로 충분하다 ■ I’m dragging all day and can hardly function. * can’t function – can’t do the things you normally do : 제대로 기능을 못하다 ex, I can’t function without a coffee in the morning. * dragging : 질질 끌다 ■ You’re such a wimp.
