He was so exhausted that he hit the sack ten hours ago

and is still asleep.

他太累了，所以他上床睡了十个小时后，现在还在熟睡。

古代，当人们上床睡觉时，他们会垫上干草，

使床垫更舒适，并确保里面没有虫子，sack

指装满干草的麻袋。二战期间，美国士兵也

称睡袋为 sack。Sack在俚语中指床，而 hit 是

“打击、碰撞”的意思，但 “hit the sack”可不是

打床，一般指结束了一天的工作和学习之后，

去上床睡觉。

To hit the sack means to go to sleep. This

saying dates back to the late nineteenth

century when beds were made of sacks

stuffed with hay. Before going to sleep, people

would literally hit the sacks to make them more

comfortable and ensure there were no bugs inside.
