A: You look tired, what have you been up to lately?

你看起來很疲憊，最近在忙什么呢？

B: Don't mention it. Something is wrong with one of the projects I'm in charge of, and I've been busy working on it lately. I haven't slept well in days. I just came out of company.

別提了，我負(fù)責(zé)的一個項目出了問題，我最近忙著解決這件事呢。我已經(jīng)好幾天沒好好睡覺了，我剛從公司出來。

"Don't mention it".作“別提了”，表示對某種情況很不滿或很無奈；作“別客氣”解多用來對別人感謝做出回應(yīng)。

"in charge of"意為“負(fù)責(zé)”，表示主動，其主語只能是人，而in the charge of意為“負(fù)責(zé)”，常用主動形式表被動，主語是事物。比如：I'm in charge of this project. This project is in the charge of me.我負(fù)責(zé)這個項目。

A: I know your work is important, but health is more important. If you go on like this, your body will break down.

break down可以表示“身體垮掉”，“機器壞掉”等

B: Well, my problem at work has been solved. I have taken two days off and I'll have a good rest.

我工作上的問題已經(jīng)解決了，我請了兩天假，好好休息一下。

take days off意為“休幾天假”，ask for leave意為“請假”，be on leave意為 “休假”

A: That's good. My daughter is back from abroad, and I'm going to pick her up at the airport. But what is even worse is that my car breaks down, so I have to take a taxi.

那就好，我女兒從國外回來了，我要去機場接他，但是倒霉的是我的車壞了，我只好打出租車了。

pick sb up意為“接送某人”；What is even worse意為“更糟糕的是”

B: I can drive you there.

我開車送你去。

A: Come on. You'd better go home and get some rest.

得了吧，你還是趕緊回家休息吧。

B: All right. Bye.

那好吧，再見。
