核心句型：

Don't forget to clock in, otherwise you won't get paid.

别忘了打卡，否则领不到钱。

clock作动词是“为……记录时间，打卡”的意思。clock in这个短语的正确意思是：“打卡计时上班，记录上班时间”。因此，当美国人说"Don't forget to clock in, otherwise you won't get paid."时，他/她要表达的意思就是:"You won't be paid if you forget to record your attendance."、"Your payment depends on your attendance record."。
