hi there students
a son ambulist
son ambulism
okay a son ambulance this is a person
sun ambulism is the
the thing
so a sun ambulance is a noun this is a
person who is walking in their sleep
sleep walking
you can also use the phrase
noctambulism as well
um i think sun ambulance is just a posh
word for a sleepwalker
okay so the meaning there is very easy
but notice you can also use this
um
word um
metaphorically
so he lives his life as if he were a sun
ambulance
in a dictatorship the uh
dictator wants the people to
uh
follow exactly what he says and believe
exactly what
uh he wants as if they were son
ambulists
yeah as if they were sleepwalkers
um
he seemed to be a sun ambulance and
completely entranced
by
um
the propaganda that was being put out
um i think often people see advertising
and as
some ambulance they go directly to buy
this thing because it's just got to be
the thing to have
yeah um
i think very often mass media um
makes people into sun ambulances they do
what uh they believe uh everybody is
doing because they all want to be the
same okay so it's an ambulator a posh
word for a sleepwalker
um as to formality i think i'd probably
give it
6.5 maybe even a 7. i think you could
use sleepwalker in
an informal conversation it's an
ambulance it sounds a bit literally as
well um i think some ambulance use it in
a
uh semi-formal writing something
literally something poetic or a very
formal writing as well and then as to
origin it comes from uh latins on
ambulance sleepwalker from somnes sleep
and ambulo
to walk
so i wish the sun ambulances in our
society would wake up and see what we're
doing to the planet um i think we should
stop being sun ambulance and uh
do something seriously about our
uh conspicuous over consumption we need
to try to save to save energy and stop
uh thinking
uh as an ambulance that it's all going
to be fine let's just we'll go to the
future
so enough if you enjoyed the video
