Our story begins by me saying that, "On the way to the office, I was thinking about what I have on my agenda today." 故事开头我说，“在前往办公室的路上，我在想我今天有什么日程安排。”

Your agenda, "agenda," means your plan for today — what are the things that you have to do today. 你的日程安排(agenda)，是指你今天的计划——你今天必须要做的事情。

This could include meetings; it could include phone calls; 这个安排可能包括各种会议;可能包括要接打的电话;

you could have many different things on your agenda. 你的日程安排上可以有很多不同的事情。

There's another expression, "to have an agenda." 还有另外一个表达，“to have an agenda”。

To have an agenda means that you have a plan, sometimes a secret plan that you don't tell anyone about that makes you want to do a certain thing. “To have an agenda”是指你有一个计划，有时是你不想告诉任何人的、你想要做某事的秘密计划。

It's like having an opinion and trying to get other people to do what you want them to do; that's to have an agenda. 就像你有个想法，并试图让别人去做你所想之事，那就叫做“有规划”

But here, agenda just means a list of things that you're going to do. 但在这里，日程安排只是指一系列你将要做的事。

"When I get to my desk, there is a stack of new memos and papers in my inbox." “当我到达我的办公桌的时候，我的收件箱里有一沓新的备忘录和文件。”

Stack, you'll remember, is when you have thin things on top of each other. 你要记住，“Stack”是指叠放在彼此之上的薄东西。

You can have a stack of pancakes; here we have a stack of papers and memos. 你可以有一沓薄煎饼;这里我们有一沓文件和备忘录。
