The cat likes to drowse in the warm sunlight by the window.
那只猫喜欢在窗边温暖的阳光下打瞌睡。
After a heavy lunch, he began to drowse over his book, the words blurring into meaningless shapes before his half-closed eyes.
吃过丰盛的午餐后,他开始在书本前打起了瞌睡,那些文字在他半闭的眼前模糊成了毫无意义的形状。
约翰·济慈(John Keats)在《夜莺颂》(Ode to a Nightingale)中写道:"My heart aches, and a drowsy numbness pains / My sense",用 drowsy 描绘了一种半梦半醒、恍惚迷离的状态,与 drowse 同根,是浪漫主义诗歌中经典的意象。
阿尔弗雷德·丁尼生(Alfred, Lord Tennyson)在《食莲人》(The Lotos-Eaters)中大量描写了昏沉、慵懒的氛围,drowse 的意境贯穿全诗,水手们在莲花的影响下陷入无尽的昏睡与怠惰。
