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

你沒有參加今天早上的會議。你怎么了？

B Well, I just came in. I worked overtime yesterday. Some statistics and very important documents seemed to be inaccurate. So I stayed to double check them. The boss was aware of my very late work of last night. So before he left office, he told me I could come one hour later this morning.

恩，我剛剛進(jìn)來。我昨晚加班了。一些統(tǒng)計資料和一些重要的文件出錯了。所以我再核對了一次。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累。你什么時候離開的？

B It was around one thirty in the morning. I guess I didn’t fall asleep till 3 because those numbers were involving in my mind. I just couldn’t stop thinking about them.

凌晨1點半左右。我直到3點鐘才睡著，因為那些數(shù)字一直在我的腦海里閃現(xiàn)。我不能停止去想那些數(shù)字。

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。加班對我來說也是一種不愉快的經(jīng)歷。有一次我整個星期每天都在加班，包括周末。那真的打破了我的節(jié)奏，之后我就生了一場小病。

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

周末加班時我最討厭做的事。

A But if the company asks, what else can we do?

但是如果是公司要求的，我們還能做什么呢？
