Daily Dialogue 日常会话

Blue Monday

Kate： You look really wiped out . You didn't show up in the afternoon meeting. What's up?

Nick： I had meetings back to back all morning. The phone rang off the hook from the minute I walked into the office. Everything makes me annoyed and depressed.

Kate： Not a good day. Blue Monday , right?

Nick： I am tired of working. I feel so pressure .

Kate： Clam down ! You need to think some pleased thing. How about you lovely baby?

Nick： Only his happy face can make me grateful . I worked overtime yesterday. Some statistics and very important documents seemed to be inaccurate. So I stayed to double check them.

Kate： So you still look a little bit tired . What time did you leave?

Nick： 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.

Kate： That's normal after a tense work evening. Working overtime is not always a glad experience for me either.

Nick： Why is here, Kate?

Kate： Oh, I hate to tell you that Mr. Emory wants to see those files tomorrow morning.

Nick： I can't believe it! I guess I'll be here until ten again tonight!

黑色星期一

凯特： 你好像全垮了。你没有参加今天下午的会议。你怎么了？

尼克： 今天上午是连轴开会。电话从我一进门就响个不停。每一件事都让我烦闷和沮丧。

凯特： 真倒霉的日子。黑色星期一，对吧？

尼克： 我真是对工作感到厌烦了。我真的感到很有压力。

凯特： 冷静点，想些美好的东西，想你的宝贝。

尼克： 只有他的笑脸能够让我开心。我昨晚加班了。一些统计资料和一些重要的文件出错了。所以我再核对了一次。

凯特： 但是你看起来仍然有点累。你什么时候离开的？

尼克： 凌晨1:30左右。我直到3点钟才睡着，因为那些数字一直在我的脑海里闪现。我不能停止去想那些数字。

凯特： 晚上紧张工作之后出现这种情况是正常的。加班对我来说也是一种不愉快的经历。

尼克： 你有事吗？凯特！

凯特： 我真不好意思告诉你，埃莫里先生明天上午还要那些资料和文件。

尼克： 真难以置信！我想今天晚上又得在这熬到十点了。
