A You didn’t show up in the morning meeting. What’s up?

你沒有參加今天早上的會(huì)議。你怎么了?

恩，我剛剛進(jìn)來。我昨晚加班了。一些統(tǒng)計(jì)資料和一些重要的文件出錯(cuò)了。所以我再核對(duì)了一次。老板知道我昨晚工作到很晚。所以他離開辦公室之前告訴我，我今天早上可以遲一個(gè)鐘頭上班。

A But you still look a little bit tired. What time did you leave?

但是你看起來仍然有點(diǎn)累。你什么時(shí)候離開的?

A That’s normal after a tense work evening. Working overtime is not always a pleasant experience for me either. Once, I worked overtime everyday for a whole week including the weekend. That really broke my rhythm and I got a little sick later.

晚上緊張工作之后出現(xiàn)這種情況是正常的。加班對(duì)我來說也是一種不愉快的經(jīng)歷。有一次我整個(gè)星期每天都在加班，包括周末。那真的打破了我的節(jié)奏，之后我就生了一場(chǎng)小病。

B Working at weekend is something I hate to do most.

周末加班時(shí)我最討厭做的事。
