星期四是繁忙的工作日，不少小伙伴們在努力工作著，有些還需要加班加點的干。來掌握一段英文對話，看看是否你也曾經(jīng)歷類似狀況，順便掌握描述工作的若干表達!

ConversationA: It's quitting time. I'm gonna clock out now. See you, guys.

B: Wait, Alex. Did you work on all the papers and documents we need for tomorrow's brainstorm meeting?

A: Not yet. But I can finish those tomorrow.

B: No way! We need those materials and numbers first thing in the morning. You got to finish them tonight.

A: Ugh, I am through working overtime!

B: This is business. We have a deadline to meet. And you won’t be the only one under pressure. We've all got to crank out this project tonight.

A：下班時間到了。我要打卡下班了。再見，親們。

B：等等，阿歷克斯。你有沒有做我們明天的腦力激蕩會議所需要的所有文件呢?

A：還沒呢。不過我可以明天完成。

B：不行!我們一大早就需要那些資料和數(shù)字。你得今晚完成。

A：呃，我不想加班了!

B：這是公事。我們需要在限期前完成。你不是唯一一個有壓力的人。我們今晚都得為這個項目趕工。

這段對話中英文“財富”非常多：

quitting time

下班時間

I'm dead tired by the quitting time.

下班時，我都快累死了。

clock out

打卡下班

(對應(yīng)的說法是：clock in)

Remember to clock out before you go home.

下班回家前記得打卡。

He clocked out early Tuesday to go to the doctor.

星期二他提早打卡下班，去看了醫(yī)生。

brainstorm

好主意;腦力激蕩;腦筋風暴

I had a sudden brainstorm and got out of bed to write it down.

我突然有了個好主意，起床寫了下來。

Let’s brainstorm a list of what we can do to solve this problem.

我們來腦力激蕩，列出我們能采取的解決問題的辦法。

no way

不行;沒門

Now he's asking me to lend him my car. No way!

現(xiàn)在他(又來)叫我把車借給他。沒門!

first thing in the morning

一大早;早上第一件事

Call Mr. Smith first thing in the morning.

一大早就給史密斯先生打電話。

I’m through doing…

這個用法很常見，不過在字典里你卻找不到。Through可以表達“完成”的意思，但這一表達的意思贊同于：I don’t want to do… anymore.

I’m through talking with you!

我不想跟你說話了!

deadline

截止期限

這個詞指必須完成某事物的期限。如果要指“須在截止期限前完成”，可以說：

meet a deadline

變化用法就是：

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(、機械地)完成

John can crank a lot of work out in a single day.

約翰一天就能趕出很多活。

under pressure

承受著壓力

I have to get back to work. I am under a lot of pressure lately.

我得回去工作。我最近壓力很大。
