Stage of sleep 睡眠的阶段
1 先听听看！你懂了多少？
Most of us spend a third of our lives sleeping. Studies show that sleep disturbances, such as jet lag, can increase our risks of obesity and diabetes, but researchers are still unsure of the exact reason. Therefore, scientists have been conducting studies to learn what happens in our brain while we are sleeping. Scientists tell us that there are four stages of sleep. During each stage our brain behaves differently and so does our body. Each stage is marked by changes in the pattern of brain waves, which can be recorded by a machine.
译文
我们大多数人会在睡眠上花费生命中三分之一的时间。研究显示一些睡眠干扰，如时差反应，会提高我们患肥胖症和糖尿病的风险，但研究者还不确定到底是什么原因。于是，科学家一直在研究人在睡眠时大脑里发生了什么。科学家表示，睡眠有四个阶段。在每个阶段中，我们的大脑有不同的表现，身体亦然。每个阶段可以用机器记录下来的脑电波的形态变化来区分。

disturbance n. 干扰

Studies show that shift work and other sleep disturbances like jet lag can disrupt your body clock and increase the risks of obesity and diabetes. But, until now, researchers haven’t really been sure exactly how these changes affect the body’s metabolism.
研究显示轮班制工作和其他睡眠干扰，例如时差反应，会扰乱生物钟并提高肥胖症和糖尿病的患病风险。但到现在为止，研究人员还没有真正确定这些变化究竟是如何影响人体的新陈代谢的。
2 先听听看！你懂了多少？
In the first stage, we drift off to sleep. Our muscles begin to relax. Our heartbeat and breathing slow down. Our body temperature and blood pressure begin to drop. The second stage is marked by small and rapid brain waves. Our eyes dart quickly from side to side as if watching a movie. This is known as the rapid eye movement, or REM sleep. During the REM phase dreaming takes place. In the third stage the brain activities slow down once again.
译文
在第一阶段中，我们会渐渐入睡。我们的肌肉开始放松，心跳与呼吸变得缓慢。体温和血压开始下降。睡眠进入第二阶段的标志是产生短促的脑电波。我们的双眼快速转动，就像在看电影一样，这种状态被称为“快速眼动期”，或REM睡眠。在REM睡眠阶段，我们开始做梦。在第三阶段中，脑电波再次变得缓慢。
单词急救站
stage n. 阶段
drift v. 不知不觉陷入
heartbeat n. 心跳
rapid adj. 快速的
dart v. 突然迅速转动
phase n. 阶段
3 先听听看！你懂了多少？
Within about 45 minutes of falling asleep, we progress into the final stage—the deep sleep phase, during which our brain sends out slower but larger brain waves. This is the most restful stage of the sleep cycle but it is also the time when the sleeper is most likely to change positions or sleepwalk. After deep sleep we return to stage two. As the hours pass we repeat the sleep cycle four to five times until we finally wake up.
译文
在入睡后约45分钟内，我们进行到最后一个阶段——熟睡。熟睡时，大脑发出较慢但振幅较大的脑电波。这是睡眠周期中最平静的阶段，这时睡眠者也最可能改变姿势或梦游。深睡眠之后，我们再回到第二阶段。随着时间的流逝，我们会重复睡眠周期四到五次，直到最后醒来。

restful adj. 平静的
cycle n. 周期
position n. 姿势
sleepwalk v. 梦游
