杰夫的一天 第3期:起床講解(2)

I say that "getting up" is something that "I hate. The covers I have on my bed are heavy." 我說“起床”“我很討厭。我床上蓋的東西很重”。

The covers, "covers," are the things that you put over you to keep you warm. 床上蓋的東西,“covers”是你蓋在身上用來取暖的東西。

Usually, the covers include a blanket, sometimes a comforter and usually, what we would call the top sheet or flat sheet. 一般情況下,床上蓋的東西有毛毯,有時候還有一床被子,以及我們通常所說的上層床單或床單。

A comforter, "comforter," is a very thick blanket--a very heavy blanket. 被子,“comforter”是很厚的毛毯——很重的毛毯。

A blanket, "blanket," is something that you put over you when you are sleeping to keep you warm. 毛毯,“blanket”是你睡覺時放在身上取暖的東西。

Blanket is a general term; a comforter is a kind of blanket--a heavy blanket. 毛毯是一種統(tǒng)稱;被子是一種毛毯——厚毛毯。

The opposite of a comforter would be a light blanket. 與被子相反的是薄毯。

A light, "light," blanket would be the opposite, and that is a blanket that will keep you warm, 薄的,“light”毛毯就恰恰相反，這種毛毯能保暖，

but if it gets very cold, it might not keep you warm--it might not be sufficient. 但是如果天氣很冷，它可能就無法保暖了——只蓋薄毯不夠。
