课文讲解
No, that strange sound at night probably isn't a rat. It's someone grinding their teeth while sleeping. This is a very difficult habit for people to deal with. Usually, people grind their teeth because of stress. Yet, sometimes it's because of a lack of teeth or for no reason at all. However, there is a way to help. Doctors recommend that people with the problem wear a special mouth guardwhile they sleep. This not only protects someone's teeth from damage but decreases the noise they make.
不，大半夜里这奇怪的声音应该不是老鼠！是有人睡觉的时候在磨牙！磨牙对人们来说是很难处理的习性。人会磨牙通常是由于压力所致；然而，有时是因为缺牙或是根本就没有任何理由。不过倒是有个方法可以改善：医生建议有磨牙困扰的人可以在就寝时戴上特别的口腔保护器。这不仅可以保护牙齿不受伤害，还可减少所发出的噪音。
