sleep mask

眼罩

(yǎnzhào) 

A: I've been getting up really early every day recently. I think it might be that the early morning sun is way too bright. 

我最近每天都起得特别早,我觉得是早晨的太阳光太亮了。

(wǒ zuìjìn měitiān dōu qǐ dé tèbié zǎo, wǒ juédé shì zǎochén de tàiyánɡɡuānɡ tàiliànɡ le.) 

B: I often used to close my curtains when I slept. Don't you close your curtains when you sleep?                    

我总是习惯拉上窗帘睡觉,你睡觉时不拉窗帘吗？

(wǒ zǒnɡshì xíɡuàn lāshànɡ chuānɡlián shuìjiào, nǐ shuìjiào shí bù lā chuānɡlián ma?) 

A: Of course I close them. But the curtains in my home are too thin, so the light shines through them very easily.                    

我当然拉了,但是我家的窗帘太薄,光很容易透过来。

(wǒ dānɡrán lā le, dànshì wǒjiā de chuānɡlián tàibáo, ɡuānɡ hěnrónɡyì tòuɡuòlái.)  

B: Then you can only wear a sleep mask when you sleep.                 

那你只好戴眼罩睡觉了。

(nà nǐ zhīhǎo dài yǎnzhào shuìjiào le.)

A: It feels weird to wear a sleep mask in my own home. I better just change my curtains instead.                  

在自己家睡觉戴眼罩太奇怪了,我还是换个窗帘吧。

(zài zìjǐ jiā shuìjiào dài yǎnzhào tài qíɡuài le, wǒ háishì huàn ɡè chuānɡlián ba.)
