A You didn’t show up in the morning meeting. What’s up?

你没有参加今天早上的会议。你怎么了?

B Well, I just came in. I worked overtime yesterday. Some statistics and very important documents seemed to be inaccurate. So I stayed to double check them. The boss was aware of my very late work of last night. So before he left office, he told me I could come one hour later this morning.

恩，我刚刚进来。我昨晚加班了。一些统计资料和一些重要的文件出错了。所以我再核对了一次。老板知道我昨晚工作到很晚。所以他离开办公室之前告诉我，我今天早上可以迟一个钟头上班。

A But you still look a little bit tired. What time did you leave?

但是你看起来仍然有点累。你什么时候离开的?

B It was around one thirty in the morning. I guess I didn’t fall asleep till 3 because those numbers were involving in my mind. I just couldn’t stop thinking about them.

凌晨1点半左右。我直到3点钟才睡着，因为那些数字一直在我的脑海里闪现。我不能停止去想那些数字。

A That’s normal after a tense work evening. Working overtime is not always a pleasant experience for me either. Once, I worked overtime everyday for a whole week including the weekend. That really broke my rhythm and I got a little sick later.

晚上紧张工作之后出现这种情况是正常的。加班对我来说也是一种不愉快的经历。有一次我整个星期每天都在加班，包括周末。那真的打破了我的节奏，之后我就生了一场小病。

B Working at weekend is something I hate to do most.

周末加班时我最讨厌做的事。

A But if the company asks, what else can we do?

但是如果是公司要求的，我们还能做什么呢?
