通常公司都會允許不超過三次的善意遲到，但要是天天遲到、還總拿鬧鐘不響做借口的話，建議你還是買上三個鬧鐘吧，主管并不是那么好糊弄的呀。

Rosie: Sorry, I overslept. My clock didn’t go off this morning.

羅茜：對不起，我睡過頭了。鬧鐘早上沒響。

Francie: Again?

佛朗斯：又沒響?

Rosie: That’s right, even though I did set the alarm last night.

羅茜：是的，我昨晚確實訂鬧鐘了。

Francie: Your clock never works. Perhaps you should buy a new one.

佛朗斯：你的鬧鐘從來沒好用過，也許你該買個新的了。

Rosie: Well, if it breaks down again tomorrow, I’ll definitely buy a new one.

羅茜：如果明天它再壞，我肯定買個新的。

Francie: Maybe by then it’ll be too late.

佛朗斯：也許那時就太晚了。

Rosie: What do you mean "too late"?

羅茜："太晚"是什么意思?

Francie: By that time you’ll be fired.

佛朗斯：到那時你就被抄了。
