A: You look tired, what have you been up to lately?

别提了，我负责的一个项目出了问题，我最近忙着解决这件事呢。我已经好几天没好好睡觉了，我刚从公司出来。

"Don't mention it".作“别提了”，表示对某种情况很不满或很无奈；作“别客气”解多用来对别人感谢做出回应。

"in charge of"意为“负责”，表示主动，其主语只能是人，而in the charge of意为“负责”，常用主动形式表被动，主语是事物。比如：I'm in charge of this project. This project is in the charge of me.我负责这个项目。

A: I know your work is important, but health is more important. If you go on like this, your body will break down.

break down可以表示“身体垮掉”，“机器坏掉”等

B: Well, my problem at work has been solved. I have taken two days off and I'll have a good rest.

我工作上的问题已经解决了，我请了两天假，好好休息一下。

take days off意为“休几天假”，ask for leave意为“请假”，be on leave意为 “休假”

A: That's good. My daughter is back from abroad, and I'm going to pick her up at the airport. But what is even worse is that my car breaks down, so I have to take a taxi.

那就好，我女儿从国外回来了，我要去机场接他，但是倒霉的是我的车坏了，我只好打出租车了。

pick sb up意为“接送某人”；What is even worse意为“更糟糕的是”

B: I can drive you there.

我开车送你去。

A: Come on. You'd better go home and get some rest.

得了吧，你还是赶紧回家休息吧。

B: All right. Bye.

那好吧，再见。
