劇情簡介：
在音樂方面頗有造詣的尼克被風騷的女友在生日那天甩了，他從此一蹶不振，窩在家裏不肯出門，執意地爲念念不忘的前女友做手工碟，但顯然對方不領情。這天他又電話給她留言......
Nick: Hey,Tris,it's Nick. How are you? It's about 3 in the afternoon. I think you're probably still at school. I stayed home today. I took a personal day. I just wanted to finish up some creative projects and stuff that I've been working on around here. Nothing to do with you or anything. So I'm sorry, real sorry I missed you. I was hoping to get you on the phone. Haven't talked to you in a while and I just kind of wanted to speak to you at some point. You know,I think last time we spoke we both kind of said some really nasty things that neither of us meant. You know, just, like... when you broke up with me, you know and everything, on my b-day.
【臺詞翻譯】
尼克：嘿，Tris。我是尼克。你好麼？現在差不多是下午三點。我想你大概還在學校吧。我今兒呆家裏。我請了天事假。要做點最近突發奇想的事情。不是因爲你啦。真對不起，很抱歉，我很想你。我希望你能接到這通電話。好久沒和你說話了，我很想跟你談談。上一會我們對彼此都說了難聽的話，我知道我們都不想的。那天......正好是我生日，你卻跟我分手了......
【口語講解】
personal day
personal day有別於holiday放假和sick leave day病假，就是假期和疾病以外的缺席請假。蠻實用的辦公室口語，要會活學活用哦，別再老是說take a day off咯。
