例えば、'My roommate's snoring kept me awake all night.'(ルームメイトのいびきで一晩中眠れなかった)といった使い方ができます。特に『Game of Thrones』のティリオン・ラニスターが『I drink and I know things』と言うシーンを思い出すと、お酒を飲んだ後のいびきはさらにうるさくなりそうな気がします。
実際に海外の友人が泊まりに来た時、『Sorry for my loud snoring』と前もって謝ってくるのが面白かったです。文化の違いを感じました。
Snoring is that rumbling sound people make when they're fast asleep. It happens when air flows past relaxed tissues in the throat, causing them to vibrate. Some folks snore lightly like a distant motorcycle, while others could rival a chainsaw chorus!
There's actually a whole spectrum of snoring sounds - from the gentle 'zzz' to what I call 'bear mode.' My roommate in college used to produce these epic snorts that'd wake the neighbors. Funny thing is, the person snoring usually sleeps right through it while everyone else gets a free (and unwanted) sound machine.
