- 1睡覺（口語，帶點輕鬆）
Shut-eye is sleep. Informal, a little , and a little old-fashioned — the kind of word you say at the end of a long day, not in a doctor's note. "I need some shut-eye" means you need to sleep. It paints a simple picture: you shut your eyes, and that is the rest. People often use it for a bit of sleep, a nap, or "some sleep tonight," though it can mean a whole night too. You would not tell a child "It's time for shut-eye" in a textbook way; you would say it among friends, or in a story, with a small smile.
Shut-eye 就是睡覺，是口語，帶點輕鬆、玩笑，也有點老派。通常用在忙完一天、想休息的時候，例如 「I need some shut-eye」（我需要睡一下）。字面的畫面很簡單：閉上眼睛，就是休息。它可以指小睡一下，也可以指睡一整晚。
這個詞適合跟朋友說，或在故事裡用，帶著一點微笑；不適合用課本式的口吻對小孩說，也不會寫在醫生的診斷單上。
From the word’s history
From shut + eye.
由 shut「閉上」和 eye「眼睛」組成。
組成From shut + eye: you close your eyes to sleep.
