办公室会话：下班

忙完了一天的工作，该下班了，下面是发生在办公室里的一段下班后的会话。

Celia: Shall Ipunch outfor you, Rose? I'm leaving now.

Rose: No, thanks. I've got to work overtime.

Celia: But today is Friday. You're not going to work overtime on Friday evening, are you?
Rose: Well, I am. I'll have to finish this report for next Monday's meeting...Is Ted coming to pick you up?

Celia: No. We'll meet at my house. He invited my family to spend the weekend with his family at their villa.

Rose: That's nice. Where is his villa?

Celia: It's not his villa, but his father's. I think it's somewhere in Florida. I'm not sure myself.

Rose: Sometimes I envy you a lot. Ted is a good guy.

Celia: Come on. You just haven't met the right person. And I think that you work too much. You should learn how to entertain yourself and enjoy your life.

Rose: I know, but I am aworkaholic.

Celia: Well, suit yourself! I've got to run now.

Rose: Have a nice weekend!

Celia: You too.... Oh, I forgot to tell you one thing. A guy called this afternoon. He said he was your ex-boyfriend. He wanted you to call him back.

Rose: Did he mention anything else?

Celia: No, nothing else.... See you Monday.

Rose: See you.

Notes:

1. to punch out 同 "clock out (off)" 指下班打卡签退。反之为punch in、clock in (on)，上班打卡签到。
2. workaholic n. 工作狂
