Good morning, this is the morning class. I'm Juliet , your buddy. Well , the disgusting cockcrow have woken me up out of my pleasant dreams, however , I really would be very much like more sleeping . I think most of you have the same desire as mine because of the heavy and great pressure at work . All right , just get out of bed as I cannot fall asleep anymore anyway. The moment I think I will share a five-minute programme with all of you , I become full of guts now .

大家早上好，我是Juliet，很高兴又和大家在空中见面了，讨厌的鸡叫声把我给吵醒了，哎，还真想多睡会儿，我想大家或许有此同感吧，因为繁重而有压力的工作。可是一想到和大家晨间要分享这个5分钟的节目，就来劲儿了。

Here we go . If we want to express a person who is tired of his work , always looking at his watch and cannot wait to the closing time. How should we put it? As usual , let's listen to a simple situational dialogue .

A : I didn't expect to see you at this hour , you must have goofed off.
B: Goofed off? Maybe , but I'm not a clock- watcher. I finished doing what I should do and then knock off an hour earlier .
A : You'll be sorry if the boss finds it out. He may be give you the bag.
B: I am sure of what I am doing .

【精彩点拨】
Now have you spotted it? It is "a clock- watcher" . It's an idiom and a figure of speech. 字面上的意思就是一个看钟点的人，这在英美国家是一个比喻的说法，比喻那种对工作消极，厌倦，不感兴趣，一直看着钟表而等待下班的人。Well are you a a clock- watcher? Do don't be one , or you cannot do a creative job and the worst is, just like the word in the dialogue , you would be canned . In a word , please remember : 看钟点儿等待下班的人，英文是： a clock-watcher .

Now let's come to the dialogue study . Please write down the key phrases in the conversation, while listening to the recording . This is of kind of help for your listening comprehension.

【对话讲解】

1 I didn't expect to see you at this hour.
我不希望在这一点看见你。

这句我们联系上下文，是A委婉的告诉B所犯的错误，就是还不到上班点就看到B离开了。因此他想说我希望不是在这时看到你，而应该是在下班的点数才看到你。In another word , this means "I expect to see you at the closing time.'

2 you must have goofed off.
你一定是又在混日子了。
这句用的是情态动词的虚拟语气，注意这个结构 must have done 是对过去发生的事情的非常肯定推测。

3 Maybe , but I'm not a clock- watcher.
也许吧，但是我不是一个看重点等着下班的人呢。
这里maybe 插入中间，是一种无奈的语气。

4 I finished doing what I should do and then knock off an hour earlier .
这里what I should do 是宾语从句。Finish 后面要用动名词形式。 An hour earlier 意思是提前了一小时，也可说ahead of an hour .

5 : You'll be sorry if the boss finds it out.

如果被老板发现你会后悔的。Sorry 在这里是后悔的意思。

6 I am sure of what I am doing .

我清楚我在做什么。
Be sure 是清楚地意思，be sure of sth. 是清楚某事，of 后面跟了一个宾语从句： what I am doing .

Well , so much for the explanations to the valuable dialogue . If we want to absorb knowledge, we need to do some exercises.
