你想问同事今天几点下班,你问:
“What time do you get off work?”
同事回答:“Around 6. Why?”
你只是想闲聊,但同事以为你要找她办事。
“Get off work”确实是对的说法,但它的潜台词是“你几点结束工作”——隐含的意思是“之后我们可以干嘛干嘛”。 如果你只是随口一问,听起来就像你有事要找人家。
一、“下班”的不同说法及其潜台词 “Get off work” = 结束工作(强调时间点)
- What time do you get off work?(你几点下班?——潜台词:之后有什么安排?)
- I get off at 5.(我5点下班。——get off后面可以省略work)
- I got off early today.(我今天提前下班了。)
- What time do you finish work?(你几点做完工作?——更中性,不暗示之后有计划)
- I usually finish around 6.(我一般6点左右做完。)
- I finished work late last night.(我昨晚加班到很晚。)
- I usually leave work at 5:30.(我一般5点半离开公司。)
- What time did you leave work yesterday?(你昨天几点离开公司的?)
- I clock out at 5.(我5点打卡下班。——clock out=打卡下班,clock in=打卡上班)
- Don’t forget to clock out before you leave.(走之前别忘了打卡。)
