sleep是什么意思?有一个小伙伴说道
“I visited my friend and slept together”
这时老师露出了
还问到
“Are you and your friends girls?”
那小伙伴说“Yes”
我们都一脸懵逼
说 “sleep together”可不能乱用
sleep together
“sleep together” 是“发生性关系;通奸”的委婉语。
所以外教老师误会那位小伙伴是。。。
如果我们要表达和同性朋友单纯地睡同一间房,我们可以说 We share the same room. or We spend the night together.
不要乱用sleep togethter,当然了特殊情况除外。

2、使人/动物失去知觉;使麻醉
3、以人道方法杀死动物(安乐死)
