放和躺 Lay or Lie
True story 真实故事
I once heard someone remark,“It feels really good getting laid after a hard day's work". But in English,“getting laid" has sexual connota-tions. The meaning of this sentence would be“一天的辛勤工作后找个人睡觉感觉很爽”。What they should say is "It feels really good to lie down after a hard day's work."
我曾经听到有人这样说：“It feels really good getting laid after a hard day's work.”但是在英语中，“getting laid”是有色情含义的。这句话的意思是：“一天的辛勤工作后找个人睡觉感觉很爽。”他们应该这样说：“It feels really good to lie down after a hard day's work.（一天的辛勤工作后能躺下来很舒服）”
