Larry（LL）昨晚因?yàn)橼s工作而一夜沒睡。他正在跟李華（LH）討論睡眠問題。
LL: Well, Li Hua, I’ve got to get back to work, and then go home and catch some zzzzs.
LH: 你要回去工作，然后回家，還要抓什么？Catch some zzzs是什么意思呀？Catch是抓住， zzzs是什么��？
LL: Catching some zzzs means to get some sleep.
LH: 嗯，catching some zzzs就是睡覺！可為什么說catching some zzzs呢？Z不是英語的最后一個字母嗎？
LL: You’re right. "Z" is the last letter of the alphabet. But many people associate the sound of the letter "Z" ( makes sound zzzzzzzzz) with the sound of snoring.
LH: 噢， z跟打鼾的聲音有點(diǎn)像，所以把睡覺說成是： to catch some zzzs。
LL: And to catch some zzzs is to fall asleep, which is really what I need to do now.
LH: 我知道，你已經(jīng)說了好幾遍了， 你現(xiàn)在最需要的就是回去睡一大覺。那你就趕快走呀！
LL: But I still have some things I need to do at work.
LH: 辦公室里還有事要做。那你睜不開眼睛怎么辦？
LL: There is no need to worry! My desk isn’t very comfortable, and the office is pretty loud. I don’t think I could catch some zzzs at work, even if I wanted to.
LH: 你怎么那么可憐呢！ 辦公室里坐著不舒服，又吵吵鬧鬧的，想睡覺都睡不著。那你乘車回家的時候在車上睡一回兒吧。
LL: No, I better not do that. If I catch some zzzs on the bus, I might miss my stop.
LH: 那就沒辦法了。我看你今天只有喝咖啡了。 Larry， 跟你說了半天睡覺的問題，把我都說困了。 Maybe I need to go home and catch some zzzs, too!
