🎙️1️⃣0️⃣8️⃣Right Away or Too Lazy? A Very Real Morning Choice

A ringing alarm, a quick decision, and something you really shouldn’t forget —today’s episode shows how three very common Chinese expressions appear in real life: 赶紧 (right away) 懒得 (too lazy to do) 千万 (make sure to / don’t forget to)

Hello，大家好，我是Janine。Hello, dàjiā hǎo, wǒ shì Janine.Hello everyone, I’m Janine.

今天早上闹钟一响，Jīntiān zǎoshang nàozhōng yì xiǎng,This morning, as soon as the alarm rang,

我睁开眼睛，看了一眼时间。wǒ zhēngkāi yǎnjing, kàn le yì yǎn shíjiān.I opened my eyes and checked the time.

已经八点半了。Yǐjīng bā diǎn bàn le.It was already 8:30.

我心里想：Wǒ xīnli xiǎng:I thought to myself:

“我得赶紧起床了。”“Wǒ děi gǎnjǐn qǐchuáng le.”“I need to get up right away.”

可是我躺在床上，Kěshì wǒ tǎng zài chuáng shàng,But lying in bed,

突然觉得特别困，tūrán juéde tèbié kùn,I suddenly felt really sleepy,

什么都懒得做。shénme dōu lǎnde zuò.too lazy to do anything.

这时候我突然想到，Zhè shíhou wǒ tūrán xiǎng dào,Then I suddenly remembered,

今天有一个很重要的会议，jīntiān yǒu yí gè hěn zhòngyào de huìyì,there was an important meeting today,

我对自己说：wǒ duì zìjǐ shuō:so I told myself:

“千万别再睡了！”“Qiānwàn bié zài shuì le!”“Make sure you don’t fall back asleep!”

于是我立刻起床，Yúshì wǒ lìkè qǐchuáng,So I got up immediately,

感觉整个人一下子清醒了。gǎnjué zhěng gè rén yíxiàzi qīngxǐng le.and instantly felt awake.
