Steve: You haven’t moved from your desk for about five hours,Mike.
Mike: Tell me about it! I have two submissions due by 4PM today and I am way behind.
Steve: I know that the reports are vital, but so is your health.
Mike: My health is fine - I haven’t had the flu at all this year.
Steve: But what about your eyes and hands?
Mike: They feel fine. Why are you asking about my eyes and hands?
Steve: The HR department says that we should take a break for five minutes every hour to rest our eyes from staring at the computer and our hands from typing.
Mike: Really? I didn’t know that.
Steve: Listen up and I will lecture you about OH&S.
史蒂夫:你在桌子旁边差不多五个小时都没动了,迈克。
迈克:你说我该怎么办!四点之前我要交两个报告,我要赶不及了。
史蒂夫:我知道报告很重要,可你的健康也一样重要。
迈克:我的健康很好,这一年我都没得感冒。
史蒂夫:那你的眼睛和手呢?
迈克:它们很好,你为什么要问我的眼睛和手呀?
史蒂夫:人力资源部的人说我们应该每一小时休息五分钟,让一直盯着电脑的眼睛和打字的手休息一下。
迈克:真的吗?我不知道这些。
史蒂夫:好好听,我给你讲一堂职业健康和安全讲座。
●解释
* move: 移动, 如: Would you please move a little bit? (你移过去点好吗?)
有时候我们在下棋的时候说"该轮到你了", 你可以这么说"your move, please.
"don’t move!" 等于"freezing", 就是"不许动", 以前有一个日本高中学生在美国读书, 在鬼节的时候闯进人家的家里, 那家主人大喊一声freezing!, 结果他以为糖果在冰箱里, 就往里面跑, 结果主人拿出枪, 那日本孩子就倒在血泊中, 再也没有起来. 这是一个真实的故事, 大家从这里也要吸取血的教训, 特别是马上要出国的同学, 也许美国人讲的英语和你中学时候学的太不一样了, 特别是口语, 所以, 出去前, 最好能够培训口语.
* tell me about it! 等于what should I do? 是非常地道的口语, 大家马上掌握.
* submission: 本来是投降, 屈服这样的意思, 这里报告的意思, 来自submit, 递交.
* due by: 到...钟点. due to 用得最多, 有因为的意思. 如: His pc can’t work due to some errors.(他的电脑因为一些错误不能运行了.)
* PM:下午, AM:上午
* way behind: 落后, 远远拖后.
* vital: very important, 非常重要, 以后看见这个单词就是致命一样的重要, V开头的词往往和视觉, 生命, 胜利有关系.
* so is your health: 注意倒装形式, 另外还有so do I.
* they feel fine: 人体所有器官的感受都可以用主动形式.
* eyes and hands: 人体器官成双作对的要用复数. 头部的一些词汇和四肢, 像中文一样, 有很多成语, 要平时积累.
* HR: human resource: 人力资源, 现在许多大公司都有这个部门. 做一个最优秀的人才, 希望你的档案永远在公司的human resource
department前10名, 有没有信心?
* take a break: 休息一会,另外相关的短语还有, take a rest (休息会), coffee break(咖啡休息时间), give me a break(饶了我吧)
* stare at: 盯. 如: Please don’t stare at me like this, you make me nervous.(请别这样盯着看我, 你让我局促不安. )
* listen up: 听着, 多数情况下可以用"listen" 就可以了.
* lecture: 名词形式的词做动词, 另外的词bicycle "骑车", water"浇水". ink“签订合同”等等。名词做动词, 让语言更加生动, 简练.
* OH&S: Occupational Health & Safety:职业健康与安全. 现在在一些发达国家, 越来越注重职工的健康和安全. 如果咱们国家也关心职工也关心自己一样, 多多普及OH&S, 那么像矿难这样的灾难就会减少许多了.

安迪基础英语

处处打的
长春渐渐地开始冷了, 湖面已经结起了厚厚的冰层. 一大早, 我去湖面练习滑冰, 差点掉进冰窟窿里, 如果有一天我真的掉进去了, 波波, 你会想我吗? 好了, 安迪不做这样倒霉的假设了. 亲爱的波波, 你在广州好吗? 那里一定还很温暖吧? 我们的祖国实在太辽阔了.在南方依然是温暖如春, 而在俺们东北已经是雪花飘飘了.
波波, 今年只剩下40天了, 我们一起努力一把? 我努力教你, 你也要努力学习!

Andy: Why do you catch taxis everywhere you go?
Bobo: I hate walking and I am lazy so I just catch cabs.
Andy: Have you ever thought about riding a bike instead?
Bobo: Why should I do that?
Andy: You could save some money, get some exercise and enjoy the wind in your face as you ride along.
Bobo: You make riding a bike sound very attractive, but I am too lazy, you know.
Andy: What’s so great about taxis?
Bobo: The drivers are always interesting to talk to. I can get all of the latest news and save lots of time.
Andy: That’s a good way of looking at it, but I think I will stick with my bike.
Bobo: Everybody got their own choice. That’s what makes life so interesting!
Andy:你为什么去哪都打的?
Bobo:我不喜欢走路又懒只好坐计程车了。
Andy:你没想过骑自行车吗?
