你先说吧,你怎么样?

B: did you get to leave early then?

你能早点走吗?

A: my boss told me that I could either go home early or take a long lunch break another day, so I decided to wait and take a long lunch break another time.

我上司说我可以早点回家或者改天午休休的长一点,所以我决定等到哪天有空中午多休息一会儿.

B: it was nice of your boss to give you an option. My boss would never do that.

你上司人不错,还给你选择的机会.我上司从来都不会这样.

A: let’s get back to you. How was your day?

还是说说你吧.你今天怎么样?

B: it was horrible! It was just one thing after another.

今天真是太可怕了,事情一件接着一件.

A: you’re kidding! How did that happen?

你开玩笑吧?到底怎么回事?

B: well, I was late to work today. It was the third time I was late this week.

嗯,我今天迟到了.这是我这周第三次迟到了.

A: how late were you?

迟到多长时间?

B: only about 5 minutes.

大概只有5分钟.

A: you got fired for being a few minutes late?

就因为迟到几分钟你就被解雇了.

B: my boss is really picky about that. He never arrives late, usually works over-time, and always gets his work done on time.

我上司对迟到最敏感了.他自己从不迟到,经常加班,而且总还是按时完成任务.

B: oh well. You never really liked your boss anyway, did you?

哦,你一直都不喜欢你的上司,对吧?
