- 1打盹；小睡
To doze is to sleep in a light, not-quite-gone way, usually for a short time. You might doze in a chair, on a bus, or in the sun: your head nods, you can still half-hear the room. If you 'doze off,' you slip into that light sleep without really meaning to. As a noun, a doze is the short sleep itself: 'I had a doze after lunch.' It is an ordinary, soft word — not medical, not rude. Though actually, for many speakers it is lighter than a nap. A nap can be a real planned sleep on a bed; a doze often happens sitting up, and you wake from it easily. You can also doze through a dull talk, meaning you were only half there.
組成From Middle English, from Old Norse dúsa, 'to rest, stay quiet,' from an old Germanic verb for being dizzy or not quite steady.
