(单词翻译)

Todd: So, what did you do today?
 
Ruth: Well, actually, I got up this morning quite early. I couldn't sleep so I was a little bit annoyed and then I went to church and I had some lunch and..
 
Todd: OK, but, you said early, like how early?
 
Ruth: Well, I think it was about 7 o'clock.
 
Todd: That's not early.
 
Ruth: That is early if you went to bed at 1.
 
Todd: That's true. That's sleeping in for me.
 
Ruth: That's sleeping in. That's true. You're an early bird aren't you?
 
Todd: Now, last night we went out and had the beers.
 
Ruth: Yeah!
 
Todd: I was actually quite happy this morning. I had no hangover.
 
Ruth: Did you not? (No) I felt a little bit queasy1 this morning, and I was a bit ashamed, and I didn't even drink very much. I wasn't, I didn't feel queasy. I think is was more that I hadn't had any sleep actually.
 
Todd: Yeah, did you feel guilty in church knowing that you still had the beer buzz2?
 
Ruth: No. I didn't feel guilty about that.
 
Todd: Yeah, that would be tough one. No, I still got up this morning at 5:45.
 
Ruth: 5:45!
 
Todd: Yeah.
 
Ruth: You must be a lunatic.
 
Todd: Well, I mean when the light comes up and the light goes through your window, I don't know how people can still sleep. You know? You can sleep when the light, the sunrise still comes up?
 
Ruth: Yeah, not for too, I mean I can't sleep forever, but like, 7 o'clock, 8 o'clock, then my body wakes up.
 
Todd: The apartment I was at before, it was crazy because there was a rooster outside, and it didn't do what it was supposed to do, like normally when the sun comes up, the rooster is supposed to go, "er-er-er-er" or whatever, 
but this thing did it at like 1 and 2 in the morning. It used to drive me nuts, so I used to always wake up at 2 because I'd hear this rooster going "er-er-er" and I just wanted to kill that bird.
 
Ruth: Did you go sleep, back to sleep after that?
 
Todd: Yeah, of course I went back to sleep, but the bird would wake me up regularly. Yeah. No roosters here.
 
Ruth: That's not funny is it?
 
Todd: Yeah.

Getting up at 7 o'clock is not early; it's sleeping in for me. 
 
If you 'sleep in,' you are sleeping later than you usually do. Notice the following:
 
You look really tired.  You should try to sleep in tomorrow.

hangover

beer buzz
 
Did you feel guilty in church knowing that you still had the beer buzz?

You've only had one drink.  How can you have a beer buzz.
I usually only drink until I get a little beer buzz, then I stop.
