一分鐘英語 第28期:Call It A Day 收工回家
Welcome to English in a Minute, where we teach you all about idioms in American English.
歡迎收聽《一分鐘英語》,在這裏我們將教您一些美式英語中的俚語。
Let's say you have worked all day, and you are really tried, like these people:
想象一下自己和這些人一樣,工作了一整天,非常的疲憊:I am exhausted. I have been working at this since 7:00 a.m. this morning.
累死我了。從早上7點鐘一直上班到現在。
Me, too. I think it's time we call it a day.
我也是,我覺得是時候收工了。(call it a day)I agree. Let's go home. Call it a day!
同意。回家吧,收工!(Call it a day)When you "call it a day" in American English, it means you are ending work, play, or something you are doing that day.
在你在美語中說“call it a day”,意思是你放下了手頭上工作、玩樂,或者任何那天你在做的事情。Often, it means you have finished your work, and you are going home.
它經常表示你完成工作,準備回家這個意思。You can use this phrase in any situation, and everybody in America will understand you.
在任何場景你都可以使用這個短語。在美國,大家都能明白你的意思。And that's English in a Minute.
以上就是本期的《一分鐘英語》。So I'm calling it a day and going home.
所以我也要收工,準備回家啦!
