【kaka礼节美语】146 加班 2

听力简介：

星期五晚上，Jason和Wanda劝同事Larry不要老加班，应该劳逸结合。Larry却说，手头总有做不完的工作。

L: But I feel like I'm wasting time if I go home and watch TV...even if I'm reading a good book I still feel like I should be working!

J: You know Larry; ---1---.

L: Really? A person can get addicted to work?

J: Well, maybe it's not the same as being addicted to drugs, but many people believe you can get addicted to stress.

W: Yeah. ---2---.

Larry说，如果回家去看电视、读书，就会觉得自己是在浪费时间。Jason和Wanda都觉得，他简直是个工作狂addicted to work。原来，除了毒品会让人上瘾，addicted to drugs, 工作和疲劳同样会让人上瘾，addicted to work and addicted to stress. Larry继续说：

L: I guess I am a bit of a perfectionist. ---3---.

J: Maybe you are too hard on yourself. If you were your own boss, would you demand such long hours?

L: No way...I think it would be illegal anyway.

J: Well then maybe you need to treat yourself better. ---4---!

W: You not only deserve it, you need it. You know, I find that sometimes I have my best ideas in the strangest places.

The last time I had a really great idea, I was scuba diving on vacation!

Larry说自己的问题可能是过于追求完美。 Perfection意思是完美，后面加上-ist, perfectionist就是追求、崇尚完美的人。Jason说Larry对自己过于严格too hard on yourself，应该对自己好一些，treat yourself better.

L: ---5---! The economy is not great these days and I don't want to get laid off!

W: Yeah, that's true. Some bosses do think the guy who puts in overtime is the most loyal. But smart bosses know that ---6---.

J: Besides, this is your job, not your life. ---7---!

L: Thanks guys! Your advice makes sense. I'm going to go home and have a nice long bath! See you on Monday!

Larry说，自己加班也是为了让老板注意到自己的敬业精神，my devotion. Devotion is spelled d-e-v-o-t-i-o-n, devotion. Wanda却说，聪明的老板都知道，工作数量的重要性远远赶不上质量。Quantity is not as important as quality. 再说了，按Jason的话说，This is your job, not your life. 这毕竟是你的工作，不是你生活的全部。Larry最后终于想通了，决定回家去，好好洗个热水澡。
