一转眼,又到了期中考试的时候,上了两个月的网课,学习效果如何?你会为了考试而“开夜车”吗?

“开夜车”,中文俗语,比喻为了工作或学习的需要而熬夜,连夜加班,与英文习语“burn the midnight oil”意思相同,表示“to stay up working, especially studying, late at night”。

例句:

这个学期快结束了,考前我们都在开夜车。The semester is almost over and we're all burning the midnight oil before exams.

明天我有个大考,所以今晚我要开夜车了。I have a big exam tomorrow so I'll be burning the midnight oil tonight.

如果你成宿成宿地开夜车,你可能会生病。If you burn the midnight oil night after night, you'll probably become ill.
