课文讲解
We've all heard this sound in the middle of the night: Snoring. But why do people make that noise? It's because certain muscles relax at night. This causes air to not move well and produce the sound. Snoring is not a sickness, but it can lead to low energy and tiredness. So how can people stop snoring? They can clear their noses and keep their bedrooms humid. Also, they should avoid heavy meals, coffee, or tea before bed. Finally, they should sleep on their sides, rather than on their backs.
我们在午夜梦回都曾听过这个声音－鼾声。但是为什么人会发出这种噪音呢？是因为部分的肌肉在晚上放松；这会造成空气不流畅而产生声音。打鼾虽然不是一种病症，却会导致精神不济和疲劳。那该如何停止打鼾呢？可以把鼻子清洁干净并且保持房间湿润。另外，睡前应避免大餐、咖啡或茶类。最后，应该侧睡而不要仰睡。
