Xiuwen in USA: Daylight Saving Time日光節約時制

咦？要把時間往前調一個小時？這代表我可以多睡一個小時嗎？
原來是日光節約時制(夏令時間)已經結束。
Get a text from our supervisior that today we have to swith the time one hour before. I have no ideas why it is. Does that mean I can sleep for one more hour? It is because today is the end of Daylight Saving Time.

我不是很清楚什麼是「日光節約時制」，也不清楚為什麼要這樣做，但是可以多出的一個小時讓我可以多做一點點事，好像還不錯。
I didn't know what "daylight saving time" is, but it sounds a good deal for me that I can have an additional hour to do something. However, it is not. When the daylight saving time starts again, you move your time one hour fast.

「日光節約時制」就是把時間提早一個小時，讓人可以早睡早起，多在有日光的時候活動，少在晚上用電，節約電量，而台灣以前好像也試過，但是反應不是很好，因為很容易搞混時間。
Moving your time one hour earlier is to have you sleep early and get out early. It encourages you to be active with the daylight in the day time and to try les electricity at night to save some power. Taiwan used to have this policy too, but it didn't get very response from Taiwanese. One of the main reaons is that people get confused with time easily.

我的生理時鐘可能已經搞混了，或者是我昨晚早睡的關係，我今天很早就起床了，當下吃完雞肉煎蛋捲後，決定要去外面走走拍拍照片，已經偷懶很久了，總是要去走一走、動一動吧！
My biological clock may also get confused with time already or it was because I got to bed early last night. I got up early and decided to take some photos outside in the morning after having a great chicken egg omelet. (I have been lazy for too long, and I have to move my butts sometimes.)
