20

   办公室里,白领们工作时精神高度集中,常常为了赶一个任务忙得疲惫不堪。大家都企盼能有时间好好休息休息,这期我们就来谈谈关于休假的用语吧。

I feel very tired.我觉得很疲惫。表示精疲力竭,过度劳累时可以说:exhausted、fatigued、burnt-out. 比如:The project went on for over two years and by the end of it I was just burnt-out.工程足足进行了两年多,到最后我精疲力竭。

无限扩展:工作时发牢骚说“烦透了”,可以用I am sick and tired of it!比如打开信箱的时候大叫:I'm sick and tired of junk mail.表示我对那些垃圾电子邮件真是厌倦透啦!

Do you think it's because of insomnia? 你认为这是因为失眠吗?

Insomnia:失眠,失眠症。

比如:I know some one with insomnia who only gets two hours of sleep each night.我认识一个患有失眠症的人,他每天晚上只能睡上两个小时。

It's time for me to apply for some leave.现在该是我申请休假的时候了。

Leave:Official permission to be absent from work or duty请假、休假、假期、准假。

比如:He had six weeks' leave.他有六个星期的休假。又如:The human resources department is responsible for approving leave applications from staff.人力资源部负责批准员工的休假申请。

无限扩展:

It's time for sb to do sth是做…的时候了。比如:It's time for us to knock off.是我们下班的时候了。

He is going on holiday tomorrow.他明天要去度假。

On holiday等于on vacation,表示度假。

比如接到一个找正在休假的同事的电话时,就可以做出如下回答:He's on vacation this week.他本周休假。He is on vacation until next Wednesday.他休假到下周三。

无限扩展:也可以用to be off。比如He is off today.他今天休假。
