每次考试来临的时候,JM就变成一只夜猫子,经常开夜车。
Chinese Style —— JM becomes a night cat every time the examination is coming and always drives night car
American Style —— JM becomes a night owl every time the examination is coming and always burns the midnight oil.
【点评】
owl 是“猫头鹰”的意思,即一种深夜不睡,睁一只眼,闭一只眼,准备随时捕捉田鼠的动物。英语中用 night owl 来比喻经常熬夜的人,就像我们习惯用“夜猫子”一样。不论叫你“夜猫子”还是 a night owl,“开夜车”(burn the midnight oil)总是免不了的。
