I wanted to sleep more but also wanted to get to work early —I thought, “Ugh, I’m so conflicted!” Let’s learn how to say “conflicted / to have mixed feelings” in Chinese.

矛盾 (máo dùn)

Hello，大家好，我是Janine。
Hello, dàjiā hǎo, wǒ shì Janine.

昨天我加班到很晚，
Zuótiān wǒ jiābān dào hěn wǎn,Yesterday I worked overtime until late,

今天早上闹钟响的时候，我特别想再睡一会儿。
Jīntiān zǎoshang nàozhōng xiǎng de shíhou, wǒ tèbié xiǎng zài shuì yí huìr.and this morning when my alarm went off, I really wanted to sleep longer.

可是我又想早点去公司。
Kěshì wǒ yòu xiǎng zǎo diǎn qù gōngsī.But at the same time, I wanted to get to work early.

我心想：哎，我真矛盾！
Wǒ xīn xiǎng: āi, wǒ zhēn máo dùn!I thought, “Ugh, I’m so conflicted!”
