职场美语

你还好吗？你看起来不太舒服。

我还没倒过时差来。休息一会儿应该就好了。

I feel dizzy and weak. And I'm having this pain in my ear.

Maybe you are just feeling jet-lagged after 8 hours of flight.

重点讲解

I can't get used to the time change.

I'm feeling jet-lagged.

lag是“滞后，延迟”的意思，jet lag就是我们熟知的“时差”，如:1 have really bad jet lag.(我时差很严重。）jet-lagged 是形容词，如:I'm feeling jet-lagged-我还没倒过时差来。
