文/Ingrid 公司给的假期结束了,大家过得怎样?上班后,Jim和Mary聊起了假期感受。 Mary:Hi, Jim! How did you enjoy your holiday? Did you go to Hongkong?(Jim, 假期过得怎么样?去香港了吗?)
Jim:Oh, good, not so good! (噢,好,也不太好!) Mary:What happened? (怎么啦?) Jim:For the first days, I had so much fun! I spent my days and nights like a mil-lionaire throwing away money! I went to Hongkong with my girl friend. You know, I’m her wallet. It doesn’t matter as long as she’s happy. And I was happy. But everywhere was crowded there. After a while, I began to think about going back to work after the holiday. So I couldn’t enjoy myself much. (假期的前几天我玩得很疯,觉得自己像百万富翁花钱一样,挥霍我的时间。我和女朋友去香港了。你知道,我就是钱包。但当钱包也没关系,只要她高兴就好。我也高兴。就是太拥挤,到处是人。但过了一阵后,我开始想假期之后又要上班了,玩的时候就不是很尽兴了。) Mary:I can understand. It's holiday syndrome.(我能理解你的感受。这是假期综合征。) Jim:On the last day, I was too dis-turbed to do anything. I stayed home alone, listening to the click of the clock, waiting for my doomsday. I said to myself, my God, help me survive today. (最后一天,我心烦意乱,什么事都做不下去。自己默默呆在家里,听着时钟的滴答声等着世界末日的到来。我对自己说:老天爷,帮我熬过这一天吧。) Mary:You’re so funny. Don’t worry, many people have the same feeling, typical holiday syndrome. But I’m not like you. I stayed at home the last day, relax, really re-lax. I didn’t watch TV, and went to bed at nine o’clock. So I’m very energetic today. (你可真逗。别担心,很多人都跟你一样有这种感受,典型的假日综合征。不过,我可不像你。最后一天,我就呆在家里放松,真正的放松。晚上我也没看电视,9点就上床睡觉了。所以,今天我精力充沛。) |
