2010-05-31来源:和谐英语

  The average Briton turns upto work with a hangoverthree times a month, according to a survey on Wednesday, and the frequency is expected to increase during next month's World Cup.

  本周三公布的一项调查显示,英国人平均一个月中有三次因前夜饮酒过量带着宿醉去上班,这一频率在下月世界杯期间预计还会增加。

  The charity Drinkaware found each day more than 520,000 people in Britain go to work hung over, with nearly one in five of those admitting that as a result they make mistakes and struggle to keep on top oftheir workload.

  英国Drinkaware慈善机构发现,英国每天有超过52万人带着宿醉上班,其中近五分之一的人承认他们会因此在工作中会出错,而且工作进度也会受到影响。

  "An international sporting event like the World Cup will inevitably capture the attention of the nation and is a great time for people to come together, but hangovers at work are likely to increase," said Drinkaware Chief Executive Chris Sorek.

  Drinkaware执行总监克里斯 索瑞克说:“像世界杯这样的国际体育赛事无疑会吸引大家的关注,这是一个聚会的好时光,但是带着宿醉工作的情况可能会增多。”

  "With hundreds of thousands of people going to work every day after a heavy night, it impacts work productivity and even results in employees going home sick."

  “在世界杯期间,每天都有成千上万的人在狂饮一夜后去上班,这不仅会影响工作效率,甚至会导致员工因不舒服而早退的情况。”
