外国英语趣味故事:休息一天

So you want a day off. Let's take a look at what you are asking for:

如果你要求休息一天,那就让我们看看你一直都要求了些什么:

There are 365 days per year available for work. There are 52 weeks per year in

which you already have 2 days off per week, leaving 261 days available for work. Since you spend 16 hours each day away from work, you have used up 170 days, leaving only 91 days available. You spend 30 minutes each day on coffee break, which counts for 23 days each year, leaving only 68 days available. With 1 hour lunch each day, you used up another 46 days, leaving only 22 days available for work.

一年有365天可以用来工作。其中有52个星期,每个星期中你都可以休息2天,这样就剩下了261天可以用来工作。可是在每天当中你又有16个小时不工作,算起来这就是170天的时间,还有91天。你每天还要有30分钟休息喝杯咖啡的时间,算起来每年就是23天,还剩下68天。每天一个小时的午饭时间,你又用了6天,还剩下22天可以用来工作。

You normally spend 2 days per year on sick leave. This leaves you only 20 days per year available, for work. We are off 5 holidays per year, so your available working time is down to 15 days. We generously give 14 days vacation per year, which leaves only 1 day available for work and I' ll be darned if you are going to take that day off !

通常每年你还要请2天的病假。这就只剩20天可用来工作。可我们每年还有5天的假日,这样工作的时间就减到了15天。每年还有14天的假期,这就只剩下一天了,如果就这一天你还要休息,那我就要疯了。

"Be still, my heart,” thought the doctor, "my daughter wants to follow in my footsteps!” 'Then the child spoke into the instrument,"Welcome to McDonald's. May I take your order?"

在去往幼儿园的路上,一个医生把她的听诊器留在了汽车座位上,她的小女儿拿起听诊器玩了起来。“我后继有人了,”医生心想,“我的女儿想要继续我的事业!”接着小孩对着听诊器说:“欢迎来到麦当劳,我能为您做点什么吗?”
