星期三是繁忙的工作日,不少小伙伴们在努力工作着,有些还需要加班加点的干。来掌握一段英文对话,看看是否你也曾经历类似状况,顺便掌握描述工作的若干表达! Conversation
这段对话中英文“财富”非常多: quitting time 下班时间 I'm dead tired by the quitting time. 下班时,我都快累死了。 clock out 打卡下班 (对应的说法是:clock in) Remember to clock out before you go home. 下班回家前记得打卡。 He clocked out early Tuesday to go to the doctor. 星期二他提早打卡下班,去看了医生。 brainstorm 好主意;脑力激荡;脑筋风暴 I had a sudden brainstorm and got out of bed to write it down. 我突然有了个好主意,起床写了下来。 Let’s brainstorm a list of what we can do to solve this problem. 我们来脑力激荡,列出我们能采取的解决问题的办法。 no way 不行;没门 Now he's asking me to lend him my car. No way! 现在他(又来)叫我把车借给他。没门! first thing in the morning 一大早;早上第一件事 Call Mr. Smith first thing in the morning. 一大早就给史密斯先生打电话。 I’m through doing… 这个用法很常见,不过在字典里你却找不到。Through可以表达“完成”的意思,但这一表达的意思赞同于:I don’t want to do… anymore. I’m through talking with you! 我不想跟你说话了! deadline 截止期限 这个词指必须完成某事物的期限。如果要指“须在截止期限前完成”,可以说: meet a deadline 变化用法就是: have a deadline to meet There's no way I can meet the deadline. 我不可能在截止期限前完成。 crank out 快速地(、机械地)完成 John can crank a lot of work out in a single day. 约翰一天就能赶出很多活。 under pressure 承受着压力 I have to get back to work. I am under a lot of pressure lately. 我得回去工作。我最近压力很大。 Now it's your time to open your mouth and practice! 张开嘴巴练起来! |
