度

我的朋友總是三分鐘熱度，一年就換了三份工作。

My friend has had three jobs in a year; he never sticks to anything for long.

我看電視度過了星期六的下午。

I spent Saturday afternoon watching entirely too much TV.

我們在戶外度過了一整天。

We spent the day in the open air.

今晚稍早，我接到馬侃參議員打來，態度非常懇切的電話。馬侃參議員已打完一場漫長艱苦的選戰。他為這個他所熱愛的國家所打的仗更久，更艱苦。他為美國的奉獻犧牲，是我們多數同胞難以想像的。因為有他這位勇敢無私的領袖的奉獻，我們才能過比較好的日子。

A little bit earlier this evening, I received an extraordinarily gracious call from Senator McCain. Senator McCain fought long and hard in this campaign. And he's fought even longer and harder for the country that he loves. He has endured sacrifices for America that most of us cannot begin to imagine. We are better off for the service rendered by this brave and selfless leader.

他疲勞過度，又睡眠不足，最後便病倒了。

What with fatigue and lack of sleep, he has fallen ill at last.
