OKE_多益 990_我今天忙翻了

我今天忙翻了
- Did you have a busy day?
- It was just terrible. I had to attend three, hour-long conferences.
- 今天忙不忙?
- 簡直是忙翻了。我今天開了三個會,每個會都長達一個小時。

小常識
一天到晚開會的通常是公司的管理階層,這些人有能幹的秘書為他們安排會客與會議的時間表。在西方,有些學校設有秘書科系,甚至還有專門的秘書學校。那些「一個人當三、四個人用」的秘書,可以領到相當於主管階級的高薪,可是其中有不少人就是因為太專注於工作,耽誤了終身大事,或是因為太受上司倚重,而一輩子都待在同一家公司。

大補帖
晚上,一家人聚在一起討論一天的工作狀況,在這個時候,Did you have a busy day?(你今天忙不忙?)就相當常用,當然,說成Were you busy at the office?也沒有錯,可是 busy day, busy week, busy month這類直接的說法感覺上比較自然。可能就是因為上班族一天到晚喊「忙!忙!忙!」,所以英文才會把「事業」稱為business (busy→busyness→business)!
terrible(可怕的,非常差的)的字源為terror(恐怖),而 有相同字源的terrific,口語中的意思卻是「驚人的」、「極佳的」,使用時要特別小心,例如:
Oh, that musical was just terrible, though some singers were terrific.
(噢,那齣音樂劇糟透了,不過有些歌者唱得很棒。)
I had to attend~意為「我必須出席~」,attend to 則是 「注意」、「照料」的意思,例如:
A waitress attends to her customers.
(女服務生必須為客人服務。)
