ESL杰夫的一天 第4期:起床讲解(3)

 　　So, we have a comforter and we have a light blanket. 所以，我们有一床被子和一条薄毯。

　　Usually, there is a top sheet, "sheet," that you put over you in between your body and the blankets, 一般来说，有一个上层床单，“sheet”是你放在身体和毛毯之间的东西，

　　and this top sheet is sometimes called a flat sheet. 有时候这个上层床单被称为床单。

　　The sheet that goes on the bed itself--that goes onto the corners of the bed--that's called a fitted sheet, a fitted, "fitted," sheet. 铺在床上的床单——一直铺到床角——叫做床套，一种“fitted”的床单。

　　So, we have a fitted sheet on the bed that you sleep on top of, then we have a top sheet and then a blanket, 也就是说，床上有一个床套，你睡在上面，还有上层床单和毛毯，

　　sometimes, if it's very cold, a comforter as well. 有时候如果很冷的话，还有一床被子。

　　I say in the story that "I sleep with two pillows²." 我在故事中说“我睡觉要用两个枕头”。

　　A pillow¹, "pillow," is what you put your head on when you sleep. 枕头，“pillow”是你睡觉时放在脑袋下面的东西。

　　Now, "for some reason," I say I "have different colored pillowcases." 现在，“由于某种原因”我说我“有不同颜色的枕套”。

　　This is true, actually; I have a black pillowcase and a blue pillowcase for my two pillows. 这是真的，其实：我的两个枕头一个有黑色的枕套，另一个有蓝色的枕套。

　　I think the reason is I am too lazy to go and buy a new pillowcase. 我想可能是因为我太懒了不想去买一个新枕套。

　　Well, the pillowcase, "pillowcase," (one word) is the thing that you put over the pillow so the pillow doesn't get dirty; 枕套，“pillowcase”（一个单词）是你套在枕头上防止枕头变脏的东西；

　　we call that the pillowcase. I say, "Well, at least the sheets match." We already know what a sheet is. 我们称之为枕套。我说“管它呢，至少被单和床单的颜色是一样的”。我们已经知道床单是什么了。

　　When we say the sheets match, "match," we mean that they are the same color or two colors that look good together. 当我们说床单很配的时候，“match”意思是它们的颜色一样或者两种颜色搭配起来很好看。

　　We use that verb³, to match, when we are talking about clothing as well, or anything where you have two colors. 我们谈论衣服或者任何有两种颜色的东西，都会用到动词表达“to match”。
