讲解

nap是指“a short period of sleep，especially one during the time”，也就是“睡一会儿”(short sleep)，尤其是指“午睡”。take a nap或have a nap表示“小睡片刻、打盹”。例如：

I’d like to take a nap．(我想小睡一会儿。)

nap(小睡或打盹儿)这个词在《圣经》(Bible)中就有，“Behold，he hat keepeth Israel shall neither slumber NOr sleep”意思是“看吧，守卫以色列的人既不能熟睡也不能打盹”。

表示“小睡”的词还有forty winks，它的意思是“a brief nap"。例如：

There’s just time for　forty winks before we have to leave．(还有一点时间，我们出发前还可以打个盹儿。)wink这里的意思是sleep，并不是眨眼。
再如：I’m getting my forty winks．(我想打个盹儿。)英文snooze可以用作名词，表示“a brief light sleep”，也可以当作动词，表示to take a light nap；doze。也是“小睡、打盹儿”的意思。
