生活節奏被打亂
我們在度假時往往會熬夜或賴床。有些人也會三餐不正常，生活節奏亂了步調。
如果想表達「恢復正常生活」，我們可以用「get back into the swing of things」。
A: Hey, how have you been? I heard your sleep schedule has been all over the place lately. B: Yeah, it’s been challenging. My messed-up sleep pattern is making it difficult to focus during the day. I need to get back into the swing of things.
A：嘿，你最近怎麼樣？聽說你最近都睡不好。
B：是啊。真的很煩。因為沒睡好，我一整天都無法集中精神。我需要恢復正常。
*all over the place「亂七八糟」
A: Hey, you seem a bit off lately. Is everything alright? B: Not really. My daily routine is completely out of whack, and it’s causing me a lot of trouble. Irregular work hours, late nights, and inconsistent meal times have disrupted my entire schedule. A: Then, you need to get back into the swing of things setting a fixed wake-up time and gradually adjusting your sleep schedule.
這時我們可以加上「New Years holidays」來表達「遲緩」或「茫然狀態」，以解釋「新年症候群」。
A: Hey, how are you doing? B: Honestly, I’m still out of it after the New Year holidays. It’s been hard to get back into my routine.
A：嘿，你好嗎？
B：老實說，我還在新年症候群的恍惚狀態。好難恢復正常生活。
A: You are late! What’s happened? It’s not like you. B: Sorry, I woke up late. I’m still in a New Year’s holiday mood.
A：你怎麼這麼慢！發生什麼事了？這不像你。
B：抱歉。我睡過頭了。我還處在新年症候群。
A: Oh, no. I made a mistake. I need to fix it. B: Are you OK? Do you want any help? A: Thanks, I’ll do it by myself. I lost my edge over the New Year’s holiday.
A：喔，不，我犯了一個錯誤。我需要補救。
