adj.(形容词)

asleep, sleeping, sleepy

这组词的意思不完全相同,其区别在于：

1.asleep和sleepy主要用作表语。asleep的意思是“睡着”,而sleepy的意思是“想睡”。例如：

The baby fell asleep; and I feel sleepy.孩子睡着了,我也犯困了。

2.asleep, sleepy和sleeping都可用作定语,这时的意思也不相同。asleep表示“睡着的”, sleepy表示“贪睡的”,而sleeping除表示“睡着的”外,还可表示与睡眠有关的东西。试比较：

a sleepy fellow

一个贪睡的家伙

a sleeping baby

一个熟睡的婴儿

a sleeping car

卧车

3.asleep一般作后置定语,只有在其前有修饰语时才可前置,而sleepy和sleeping作定语时则可前置。

be asleep, fall asleep

be asleep指睡着的状态,可以接表示延续性时间的状语; 而fall asleep指的是一时的动作。试比较下面两句：

He has been asleep for three hours.

他睡了三个小时。

One after another, all of them fell asleep.

那些人一个接一个地睡着了。

sleepy，asleep

这两个形容词均含有“欲睡的”之意。

sleepy最常用词，指人昏昏欲睡，或沉睡时的寂静状态。

asleep作表语，多用于非正式的英语里，指处于睡着的状态，侧重动作的结果。
