Ⅳ.對話篇

Jeff: Did you enjoy your holiday Joan?

杰夫：你的假期過得好嗎，瓊？

Joan: Yes, but it was too short.

瓊：好，不過太短了。

Jeff: But you were gone for about two weeks.

杰夫：可是你離開了大約兩個星期。

Joan: The holiday was great, but I am so tired that I feel like I need a holiday from my holiday!

瓊：假期很棒，不過我很累，我覺得我需要為我的假期再要一個假期！

Jeff: That sounds pretty stupid. You will just have to wait until next year.

杰夫：那聽起來很愚蠢。你只能等到明年。

Joan: I’m not sure that I can wait that long. I tend to get burnt-out really easily.

瓊：我不知道我是否能等那么久。我很容易疲憊。

Jeff: I wonder if the human resources department will let me lend my holidays to you?

杰夫：我在想不知道人力資源部會不會讓我借一些假期給你？

Joan: No! You should use the time to have a break.

瓊：不要！你應該用這段時間來休息。

Jeff: I don’t like going on holiday though.

杰夫：不過我不喜歡去度假。

Joan: If you don’t have a break, you will have a break-down!

瓊：如果你不休息，你會累垮的！
