A：how come you're still up? Shouldn't you be asleep by now? 你怎么还醒着?难道昨晚到现在你都没合眼吗？


B：I've been having a hard time sleeping lately. 我最近一直很难入睡。



A：as far as I know, insomnia is usually caused by stress. Are you stressed at all? 据我说知，失眠往往是由压力引起的。你压力很大吗？



B：well, I'm really worried about my grades. I didn't think this course would be so stressful. 是的，我真的很担心我的考试成绩。我没想到这门课压力会这么重。



A：you're a good student. I'm sure you can do well. What you need to do is to relax. 你是个好学生。我相信你能学的很好。你需要做的是放松心情。



B：you're probably right. I just wish it were that simple. How can I stop feeling so anxious all the time? 你也许是对的。我只是希望能简简单单的。我怎么才能不这么焦虑呢？



A：taking a yoga class or learning some relaxation techniques can help you cope with your stress. 上个瑜伽班或者学习一些能够让自己放松的方法，这些能够帮你减压。



B：I don't really have time to learn anything new. I need to spend my time studying! 我实在没时间学习任何新玩意了。我得把时间都用来学习。



A：you need to take some breaks throughout the day. Studying all day isn’t very usually effective. 你一天中总得休息几次。整天都在学习，那效率也不会太高的。



B：you’re right. I usually end up starting at my computer or checking my email instead of doing my work for class. 你说的对，我常常对着电脑发呆，或者收看电子邮件，而作业却没写。



A：besides, it’s not diffciult to learn yoga. In fact, I can teach you a move that’s supposed to help you fall asleep! You just have to sit down like this, bend over and breath in deeply. 另外，学瑜伽其实不怎么难。其实，我可以教你一个动作，没准儿可以帮你入睡。你只需要像这样坐着，弯腰然后深呼吸。



B：that’s fantastic. I’m going to go try that out in my room now. good night! 这太神奇了。我现在就回我房间试着做做看。晚安！



A：good night, sleep tight; don’t let the bed bugs bite! 晚安，睡得香点，别让臭虫咬到！(英国儿歌)
