1. Nine-to-fiver 打工仔，工薪阶层

As a nine-to-fiver, how can I afford that fancy fast car?
作为工薪阶层，我怎能买得起那辆跑车！

释义：

nine to five: 上午九点上班，下午五点下班，朝九晚五

nine-to-fiver: 上班的人

上班族的工作时间多半都很固定，从早上九点到晚上五点，所以有9-to-5这个用法。

2. No excuse! 不要找借口！

You must turn in your homework by 5, no excuse!
五点钟之前你必须把家庭作业交上来，没有借口！
