You didn’t show up in the morning meeting. What’s up?
你没有参加今天早上的会议。你怎么了？

Well, I just came in. I worked overtime yesterday. Some statistics and very important documents seemed to be inaccurate. So I stayed to double check them. The boss was aware of my very late work of last night. So before he left office, he told me I could come one hour later this morning.
恩，我刚刚进来。我昨晚加班了。一些统计资料和一些重要的文件出错了。所以我再核对了一次。老板知道我昨晚工作到很晚。所以他离开办公室之前告诉我，我今天早上可以迟一个钟头上班。

But you still look a little bit tired. What time did you leave?
但是你看起来仍然有点累。你什么时候离开的？

It was around 1:30 in the morning. I guess I didn’t fall asleep till 3 because those numbers were involving in my mind. I just couldn’t stop thinking about them.
凌晨1点半左右。我直到3点钟才睡着，因为那些数字一直在我的脑海里闪现。我不能停止去想那些数字。

That’s normal after a tense work evening. Working overtime is not always a pleasant experience for me either. Once, I worked overtime everyday for a whole week including the weekend. That really broke my rhythm and I got a little sick later.
晚上紧张工作之后出现这种情况是正常的。加班对我来说也是一种不愉快的经历。有一次我整个星期每天都在加班，包括周末。那真的打破了我的节奏，之后我就生了一场小病。

Working at weekend is something I hate to do most.

You are kidding me? It is against the labor law. They should be aware of their rights.
你是在开玩笑吧？那是违法劳动法的。他们应该知道他们的权利。

But these people say nothing about that. They are worried about losing their job because there is surplus in labor force these days.
但是这些人什么都没有说。他们担心失去工作，因为现在劳力过剩。

That’s not right, somebody should do something.
那是不对的，有人应该要做点什么。
