背诵为王第2册 Lesson 07

7  No Work in the Dark
I urgently needed a few days off work,  but I knew my boss would not allow me to take a leave.  I thought that maybe if I acted crazy he would tell me to take a few days off.  So I hung upside down on the ceiling and made funny noises.  My co-worker asked me what I was doing.  I told her I was pretending to be a light bulb so the boss would think I was crazy and give me a few days off.  A few minutes later the boss came in and said,  “What are you doing?” I told him I was a light bulb. He said：“you are clearly stressed out.  Go home and have a rest for a couple of days. ” I jumped down and walked out of the office.  When my co-worker followed me,  the boss said to her,  “And where do you think you're going?” She said,  “I can't work in the dark!”

leave ? 假期     stress out 压力过大

我不能摸黑工作
我急切地需要请几天假, 但我知道老板不会同意。我想要是我装疯他也许会让我请几天假, 所以我把自己倒挂在天花板上, 发出古怪的声音。我的同事问我在干什么。我告诉他, 我正装成个电灯泡, 这样老板会觉得我疯了而准我几天假。几分钟后, 老板进来了, 他说：“你在干什么？”我告诉他我是个电灯泡。他说：“你肯定是压力太大了。回家休息几天吧。”我跳了下来, 走出了办公室。当我同事跟着我出来时, 老板问她：“你准备到哪里去？”她说, “我不能摸黑工作。”
