45. Coffee break 喝咖啡的休息时间
A: If that man gives me any more letters to type I'll scream. He's
given me ten already today, and there'll be more when I get back
from coffee. I'll be here till midnight.
B: Simmer down, Franny. He can't make you stay after five.
C: Sure, francs. Finish what you can, and leave the rest for Minday.
A: But they're important letters, Joe. They should go out tonight.
C: That's not your worry. If they're that urgent, he should've given
them to you earlier.
B: Joe's right, Fran. You won't catch him staying in the office
after five on a Friday. He's got better things to do.
Notes
Scream 大叫大嚷(要做某事)
Simmer down 别激动
Make you stay 要你留下
You won't catch him-he would never
A:如果那个人再给我一些信要我打字,我就要大声嚷嚷了,今天他已经给了我十封信。等我喝完咖啡回来还会有更多的信。我在这儿要呆到午夜了。
B:别激动,弗兰尼。他不会让你呆到五点以后的。
C:是的,弗朗西斯,你能干多少就干多少,剩下的留到星期一再做。
A:可是这都是些重要信件,乔,今天晚上应该发出去。
C:这用不着你担心。如果这些信那么紧急,他应该早一点交给你。
B:乔说得对,弗朗。每星期五他从来不会在办公室呆到五点以后。他有意思的事要做
