Our crew at an ambulance company works 24-hour shifts. The sleeping quarters consist of a large room with several single beds, so we get to know one another's habits, like who snores or talks in his sleep. While I was having my teeth examined by a dentist one day, he noticed that some of my teeth were chipped. “It looks like you clench your jaw at night,” he said. “No way,” I blurted without thinking. “No one has ever said I grind my teeth, and I sleep with a lot of people!”
我們救護(hù)車公司的工作人員上的是24小時的班。我們睡覺的地方是一個大屋子,里面放了很多單人床。所以我們互相之間都了解各自的習(xí)慣,比如誰睡覺打呼、說夢話等等。有一天,牙醫(yī)為我做檢查,發(fā)現(xiàn)我的牙齒有的掉碎片,就說:“看來你晚上磨牙齒?!蔽也患偎妓鞯卣f:“這不可能。從來沒有人說我磨牙齒。我和很多人一起睡覺。”
