好吧，那你自己去跟埃莉诺说吧。

Stupid! Stupid Italians.

太蠢了，愚蠢的意大利人。

Oh, oh, I know, with their pizza and pasta and... Michelangelo.

哦，我知道，他们的匹萨，意大利面…还有那个米开朗基罗，都蠢死了。

职场美语

You look tired, what's up?

你看起来很累，怎么了?

I just run 3 miles, I need to catch my breath.

我刚跑了3英里，我要休息一下。

重点讲解:

I want to have a rest.

I need to catch my breath.

说到“休息”我们的第一反应自然是rest。但是也不能总是用这一个词，当你忙得需要喘口气时候怎样说呢？下面这个就是:I need to catch my breath.catch my breath的字面意思是“赶上我的呼吸”，引申为“喘口气”，即“休息”。
