身为一个上班汪,起早贪黑,加班都不带眨眼。那你能不眨眼的用英语说出你每天的工作中发生的一些事情吗?
#1 My Morning Coffee Makes Me Perk Up
I’m not a morning person (someone who has a lot of energy in the morning), so I need some coffee to help me perk up. The phrasal verb perk up describes when someone becomes happier and in a better mood after feeling not so good.
作为一个非 晨起型人(早上总是元气满满的人),喝点咖啡来提神是不错的方法。 短语里的动词这里描述的是某个人在精神不振后变得更愉悦,振奋。
讲解:
Perk up 表示让你元气满满,精神振奋的意思。我熬夜了,所以需要个coffee来perk me up.
Perk up 还可以指To refresh the appearance of (让…焕然一新)

#2 I Look Through My E-Mails And Dash Off Quick Replies
I get a ton of (a very large number of) e-mails, so one of the first things I do is look through my messages. To look through means to look at a number of things quickly.
#4 I Heat Up Some Food For Lunch
If I have leftover food (food that I prepared previously and saved), then I heat it up using the microwave, stove, or oven. To heat up food means to raise the temperature, to make it hot.
如果我有剩饭剩菜,那么我就可以用微波炉/炉灶/加热。加热食物就是说升高温度来让它们变热啦。
讲解:
当代办公室流行的方式就是自己带饭拉。每当到中午的时候,微波炉君们总是很忙。 因为大家要heat up/ microwave 食物呀。 话题Topic 也是可以被热的,topic begins to heat up指的就是某个话题近期很火。
#5 I Flesh Out My Ideas
I have a lot of ideas for the project and I try to flesh them out.
当我对项目有很多的想法,我就会试着去完善他们。
