生活常用英語口語：Jet Lag 時差

大家好，我是豆子!今天我寫了一個對話是關於倒時差的，讓我們一起來看看吧!

Hello, my dear friends! How are you doing today? Today, I drafted a short conversation about jet lag. Let's start!

A: Hi Linda, are you ok? You look so exhausted.

你還好嗎?看着特別疲憊

B: Really? I just returned from Los Angeles, so I am in the jet lag. I could not fall asleep last night.

是嗎?我剛從洛杉磯回來，在倒時差，昨晚睡不着覺

A:Jet lag! I had very serious jet lag when I got back from New York last month.

時差啊!我上個月從紐約回來也是很嚴重!

B: I can barely keep my eyes open, so I drank some coffee. Still very sleepy!

我現在眼睛睜不開，剛剛喝了咖啡，但是還是特別的困。

A: Travel between different time zones changes your body’s internal clock. So your internal clock has adjusted to the U.S. time.

在不同的時區旅行會改變你身體內的生物鐘，所以你的生物鐘已經過的是美國時間了。

B: Exactly, I felt energetic last night, because it was daytime in the U.S.

絕對的，我昨晚特別精神，因爲是美國的白天時間!

A: That is why someone told me to take sleeping pills and try to sleep for the whole flight. I may try that way next time.

所以有人告訴我上飛機吃點藥片然後睡一路，我下次可以試試。

B: I heard someone told me to stay awake for the whole flight. Different story!

我聽有人說飛機上一直不睡，咋說的都不一樣啊!

A: I guess each person has different solutions that work best for them. My previous experience was trying to get on the local schedule after landing.

我覺得每個人都有自己覺得好辦法，我之前的經驗是落地後跟着當地時間走。

B: So, it means that If I get there and it is dinner time, I should get something to eat and adapt as soon as possible?

所以意思是我如果到了是晚飯時間，我就應該吃點東西儘快適應?

A: Absolutely, try your best to adapt as quickly as possible. If you are very tired in the afternoon, take a short nap, but don’t sleep for hours.

對的!盡力越快適應。要是下午特別困，可以稍微休息一下，但是別睡好久

B: It makes sense.

嗯嗯有道理!

A: If you cannot fall asleep for several days, you may visit doctors to get some professional advises.

如果你好幾天都睡不着，可以去看看醫生。

B: Got it! Thanks.

知道了謝謝!
