喜樂美語
  1. 1賴床（偏英式；美式較常說 sleep in）

    A morning when you stay in bed later than usual, on purpose — not because you are ill, but because you can. Strongly British. “I’m having a lie-in on Sunday.” It is a countable noun: a lie-in, a long lie-in. In American English people are much more likely to say they slept in. Though actually, lie in as a verb (to stay lying in bed) is the older piece; the noun with a , modelled on words like sit-in, is the dictionary you are learning. It has nothing to do with telling a lie, and nothing to do with laying an egg.

    lie-in 指早上刻意比平常晚起床，不是因為生病，而是因為可以。它是很典型的英式用語，例如「I'm having a lie-in on Sunday」。它是可數名詞，可以說 a lie-in 或 a long lie-in。動詞 lie in 指躺在床上，名詞的 lie-in 就是那樣躺著的一個早上。美式英文多半說 sleep in。
