I checked out that new 3-D movie. ---1---!Will: I went mountain biking with a couple of friends. We worked up a good sweat and had a good time. How about you, Jerry?J: Actually, I spent most of the weekend looking at travel a周末去看了新出的三维电影,3-D movie. Will 跟几个朋友一起去骑山地车,山地车在英语里叫 mountain bike,可以是名词,在上面那段话里是做动词用,Will went mountain biking. Will 还说,他们出了一身汗,玩得特别开心。work up a sweat 是一种习惯用法,指锻炼身体或从事体力活动很投入,可以是真的出了一身汗,也可以形容特别卖力。Jerry呢,一个周末大部分时间都在看旅游宣传材料 travel brochures. 看来他是要休假喽?Paula问:P: Really? Are you going somewhere?J: Well, starting on the 20th of this month, I'm taking a five-week vacation.W: Five weeks!! No way!P: Get out of here! How did you swing that?J: Actually, ---2---. I've been working here since 2002 and haven't taken a vacation yet. I've got oodles of comp time as well.W: Sorry, what's comp time?Jerry要休五个星期的假,Will和Paula都不敢相信,问Jerry, How did you swing that? to swing it 是一种口语里非正式的说法,意思是说服别人,达到自己的目的。Jerry解释说,他从2002年来这家公司工作,就一直没休过假,现在公司欠他四个月的假期,Jerry说,另外,I've got oodles of comp time as well. oodles is spelled o-o-d-l-e-s, oodles, oodles of something 也是一种非正式的说法,相当于 a lot of something 很多,Jerry说自己除了四个月的假期,还攒了很多 comp time. Will是新毕业的大学生,不知道什么是comp time. Paula解释说,P: The "comp" is short for compensation. Basically he means overtime pay.J: Yeah, but some companies - like ours - don't really pay overtime.... ---3---. If you add up all the vacation time and comp hours I have, I have a lot of time.P: ---4---a解释说,comp, c-o-m-p, comp 是 compensation的简写,其实就是 overtime 加班,有些公司不发加班费,而是把员工加班的时间折合成假期,补偿给员工。另外,欧洲和美国的情况也有很大的区别,Paula说,她以前曾经在德国的一家公司工作过,they had super short work weeks and very liberal overtime rules. 那家公司不仅工作时间短,而且加班的规定也 very liberal, 很松。It's amazing what they can do with technologies these daysthe company owes me about four months' worth of vacation timethey give you extra vacation hours insteadWhen I was working for a company in Germany they had super short work weeks and very liberal overtime rules1. 没想到我们现在科技这么发达。2. 公司欠我4个月的假期。3. 他们把加班时间折合成假期,补给你。4. 我以前在一家德国公司工作,那里不仅工作时间短,加班规定也很松。——译文来自: ausko这篇材料你能听出多少?点击这里做听写,提高外语水平>>
